These #CANCELLED thread titles are becoming the new Thatcher/Bruce/Prince Philip joke death threads. Please exercise restraint with the C-word.

You heard the man. Cease and desist.*

*Can't see it happening, but, hey, be the change another CaBer wants to see in the world, you know?

It's not a joke though. Those threads were the same joke over and over. Cancellation is an actual thing that twitter keeps doing. These stories keep popping up every day.

I think it is so-called mothman who is #CANCELLED.

well, while we're complaining about starting specious threads, what about all those ones that people have been starting with minor variations of the thread title, cluttering the fuck out of the place? at least the #cancelled ones are topical, even if they are getting a bit tiresome.

Agreed.  I thought I was stumbling into HS Art the other day...

In a way I wish this actually happened. Over-exhalted celebrities forced back to go to normal lives.

But they're dead or their money-fame has been already made and they will always have a fanbase whose own life is #Cancelled so they latch on to an image of that celebrity existentially.

Stop using "actual thing" too. Awful. Twitter is not the be all and end all.

I wasn't being pedantic, that is not the definition of being pedantic.

You have let your guard down here. Informing me that you will stop using it suggests you know its a cack-eyed phrase and resorting to anger implies you feel the heavy burden of guilt for its continued use.

Glad I could be of service to the greater good.

gettign fussed about innocuous language is a cunt's game tbh

that applies to this thread and all other examples

I'll stop using it as a trade off for you being a more tolerable human being. But of course I know that won't happen. Also 'pedantic' is an obsession with minor details. 'Actual thing' was a simple pairing of words that shouldn't rile up anyone, but somehow you managed to find a problem.

I do believe that "actual thing" has been mentioned on here in the past in one of those pedantic phrases you hate threads. I can tolerate all sorts of behaviour, but "actual thing" is something, perhaps the ONLY "thing" that I will not tolerate. It's a disease of human kind. A race to the bottom in language and decorum. A stain on history. A pox on the house of righteous existence. A plague. A sin.

Like finding a dying wasp in your pickle sandwich, fussed.

I remember when there was just one massive Cancelled thread, though it may have started life as a MeeToo thread.

ah, the good old days.... as I've mentioned previously, I'm only C&Bing at work, & only on night-shifts usually, or at weekends. in practice, this means that the 'unread posts since your last visit' list only captures about two or three days worth of new threads, & I miss loads of them. when people start opening loads of new threads in the manner of the "how much of a twister is your sister?" type stuff, this alters the signal-to-noise ratio to an unacceptable degree & I start watching "that pedal show" on youtube & then wasting money I haven't got on fuzzboxes I don't need.
so please, rein it the fuck back in, people.

Stating that something is #CANCELLED is the current pathetic topical joke that isn't a joke but by fuck it's a topical touchpoint so it's automatically funny right?

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah BSE! <AUTO-LAUGHTER> (80s)

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Viagra! <AUTO-LAUGHTER> (90s)

Blah blah #Cancelled! <INTERNET LOOKS ON EMOTIONLESSLY>

Three people have even done the "Thing is #CANCELLED!" joke within this thread, that's the kind of tedious throwaway shit it is.

This is completely unrelated but if I may be so bold, I would care to refer you to this thread.

Does #CANCELLED exist outside of CaB?
I thought it was just something shoulders or madhair came up with.
