So was Louis CK cancelled before he made his comeback?

Otherwise I agree with the sentiment behind it all, but chose to die on the hill that you can be cancelled for doing bad shit, and also that conservatives complain that people are unfairly cancelled when society actually gets it right almost every time it happens.

I first heard the term "cancelled" in this context during the Me Too movement. And those cancellations were warranted, and described correctly. It's only more recently that the definition changed and become contradictory and required an element of unfairness to count as that category. Which is weird because it's only "cancelled" now if it's a circumstance that doesn't exist. We re-defined the word into a nullity. Which honestly kind of sounds like the weird political-based wordplay that people accuse Edward64 of doing. It was a perfectly fine word before.
