>>1. What is PC or Cancel Culture?

I can't even tell you how many times I've read this over. Well said.

>>2. Who exactly has PC/Cancel culture actually harmed?

>PC Culture has kept many bigots from being able to spew their

>as "conservatives" feel like their right to free speech/press
>is inhibited, so do religious zealots who feel like their

>like their right to have a redress of grievances by the

>harmed by women, namely feminists, being able to say whatever
>they want, when they want, on massive platforms. It's really
>all about the first amendment.

yes yes and yes.

>>3. What are the specific losses they have suffered?
>
>Conservatives lost a great deal of political power by not

>bigoted views on mass media platforms. They lost the ability
>to discriminate against people on the basis of race, gender,
>sexual orientation, religion, creed, and nationality in
>housing, employment, education, and commerce.

thank you, again, for taking the time.
