A crisis public relations consultant told an entertainment publication that in Hollywood “anything” that offends the political Left is a problem and that his clients go out of their way to post things on social media that will appease the online left-wing outrage mob.
The comments were featured in a story published by The Hollywood Reporter about Disney’s recent firing of conservative actress Gina Carano. The publication noted that publicists have advised their clients to “steer clear of politics, especially anything leaning right.”
The problem is, as is noted above, this is very one-sided. And yielding to this only makes it more and more one-sided. This is what leads to cancel culture. The only way to beat it is to actually fight it, not give in. If PR consultants just told their clients to give cancel culture the middle finger, and say “we’re not going to bow to your insane demands”, it wouldn’t take long to turn the tide.
But no one is willing to do that. So, it just gets worse, and worse, and worse.
