      Shor and Yglesias are both thriving, making more money than (I'd guess) 95-98% of Americans. They have the ear of the White House. They can't, I suppose, sell pro-Chappelle reviews for $250 a pop to http://Salon.com . I don't know if that's quite persecution. https://twitter.com/jessesingal/status/1447951623679004675 …

      I'll add that having done some time as a movie & book critic, the biggest deforming influence on cultural writing isn't "cancel culture" but advertising and fan entitlement mentality. Lots of pressure to go easy on big blockbuster entertainment.

          I do not know about Shor, but the Matt with a substack will do anything to get Dune made. So I am not sure how critical he will be 😛

          This is funny. When I was younger I used to be more sensitive about people dismissing my precious comic books and superhero movies, but that was billions upon billions of dollars ago and a time when I was less catered to. Today it's easier to appreciate those who are not into it.

          I still reject wholesale dismissal of a genre, because genrephobes bore me, but I totally understand how and why the ubiquity of anything can wear a person down.

          A lot of bullying (Stans etc) happens online.

          Worth pointing out that Singal here is taking effectively the same stance as one of the most famous harassment campaigns against critics in history, one which he himself argued against at the time.
