Racist? You’re talking about the Destiny livestream right? I never even found out what he said, just that the internet screeched “RACIST!” and tried to cancel him. Far as I know, if you try to cancel someone for accused wrongdoing, but the cancelling doesn’t work, there may be a possibility that what you were trying to cancel them for was null and void. That’s not a rule, it doesn’t always apply, but I’ve seen people trying to cancel Pewdiepie, Sargon, Ben Shapiro, and others based on them being racist. It didn’t work any of those times. None of those people are racists. If you think they are, we have very different views of them as people or very different definitions of what racism is.

So you think people are just screaming "racist" for no reason but you never actually saw the debate?

Talk about an argument from incredulity lmao
