I'm tired of old men complaining about cancelling shit. I'm watching Bill Maher bellyaching about Dr Susse and Mr Potato Dick. He called it a culture war I call it inoffencive business decisions.
Than ask for a stop to cancelling things.
If you think some things are not suitable for children, do not give them to children. But to take them away from everyone -if- people would still buy them, that's a bad sign. It's ok to say: "hey, this does not sell anymore, we're closing it". It's unsettling to hear "hey, this 80-year-old comic book is racist, so we won't sell it anymore (because we have decided that you are unable to properly understand it in its context)". The first is business, the second is censorship. And quite bigoted.
Keep in mind that I firmly believe that culture and knowledge belong to everyone, so if a company dismisses a product because they don't want to produce it anymore, someone else should have the right to produce it instead.
If someone wanted access to something, either the owner of the rights accept to sell it to them, or it allows for it to be reproduced or published elsewhere for free. If it's commercially unviable, there's no risk of the owner getting denied it's earning, is it? If it is commercially viable, then why would you not produce and sell it, or allow someone else to produce and sell it?
The idea of not being able to access something because its rights belong to someone who won't sell or allow me to access it is common, but it is insane. The moment the owner will start selling the product again, then I won't have the right to get it for free anymore. This is how it should be.
If it was so, Dr Seuss books would still be printed, for example.
In Italy, it is forbidden to put on stage any work from Brecht, because the owner of the rights only allow a very selected few. It does not matter if you are doing it for free: you simply can't. It is a disgusting situation. Brecht has been effectively cancelled in italian theatres, and we have all lost something to the selfishness of the right's owner. Luckily, 2026 is near, after which, the owner's rights will cease to exist.
