"To me Cancel culture is when people go out of their way to dig up old tweets, videos etc looking for dirt on somebody they don't like in an effort to get them fired. Like if Kimmel got canceled for shit he did on the Man Show that would be cancel culture. But when a person says something that a ton of people find offensive, rude, dumb in real time and then that person is punished for it that's not cancel culture."
"ABC announced on Wednesday that Kimmel's show was being put on hold indefinitely following the comedian's comments about 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who is facing charges over the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Kimmel insisted on his show that Robinson was a right-winger, despite officials like the Utah governor and County Attorney both saying Robinson was indoctrinated in leftist ideology in recent years. Robinson reportedly felt Kirk was spreading hate."
"Portnoy's defense of Kimmel getting taken off the air earned plenty of pushback, with critics calling him a hypocrite, asking if he'll support similar decisions at his own company. Will you also bend the knee when this shit eventually happens to Barstool? Barstool Sports writer Brian McGonagle, aka Rear Admiral, wrote in an X post responding to Portnoy.

Dave Portnoy defended Jimmy Kimmel's late night show being put on hold, arguing that punishment for offensive remarks in real time constitutes consequences rather than cancel culture. Portnoy defined cancel culture as deliberately digging up old tweets or videos to get someone fired. ABC put Kimmel's show on hold after Kimmel suggested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson was a right-winger, despite officials saying Robinson had been indoctrinated in leftist ideology. Robinson faces charges in the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Portnoy's stance drew widespread pushback, including from a Barstool Sports writer who asked whether Portnoy would 'bend the knee' if Barstool faced similar consequences.
