How exactly is Shad being cancelled? He still has his channels, he can keep posting content like he always has. Matt said he will no longer associate with him, and has every right to do so. He hasn't stopped anyone from viewing Shad's videos, or told anyone they shouldn't be viewing them. I haven't seen anyone attacking Shad over this, but there are those getting stuck in to Matt about it. So how is Shad being cancelled? For the record I do not watch Shad's videos, and only very rarely watch any of Matt's. Incidentally, can anyone explain what 'woke' means? I believe it was nddave pointing out to the blade community that Matt may have been pressured by woke cancel culture to cancel Shad. How else to explain (and this is what bothers me) the BS moves of not first privately discussing and then airing dirty laundry in public? And nddave has every right to do...just like Matt has a right to his BS moves. Thank you howler!

"Matt may have been pressured by woke cancel culture to cancel Shad" lol... gosh, guys.
Again: "big time". And you don't even realize it, right? You actually do believe you have a point, right? You actually do believe there is be a hidden "woke mob" that is pressuring Matt Easton to "cancel" (that keeps cracking me up) Shad.
And these believes (euphemism) enrage you enough to go publically ranting about "cancel culture" up to the point where you are publically suggesting that it might be "very hard to support Matt" from here on? Rings a bell? No?
Gosh, guys... stop it. What's next? Vaccines?

"I am so superior and all my points are so obvious that there is nothing but stupidity outside of me" Rings a bell?

The woke mob is pressuring Matt to vaccinate Shad? Why, and for what? Rabies? Smallpox? Malaria?

I see Easton trying to disassociate himself from Shad for personal reasons and not to cancel Shad Brooks as the title states. Easton has that right and it’s not for me to judge, nor something I should concern myself with. People are making a mountain out of a mole hill, if you will. Although that seems the norm these days, that is passing judgement on people and trying to, to some extent, manipulate. Sort of like the show “The Voice”, I think it is, where a bunch of women set around gossiping and voicing their opinions about some celebrity. Just my 2¢.

I saw some cuttings from that show posted on some other show, since forgotten.

Sort of like the show “The Voice”, I think it is, where a bunch of women set around gossiping and voicing their opinions about some celebrity. Just my 2¢. If that was the case then Matt should have and would have done it in a more tasteful manner than the statement he made socially. It's one thing to personally "disassociate" yourself with someone, and then it's a completely different thing to openly call them out on beliefs and viewpoints that had nothing to do with your interactions with that person. But again this is the nature of the cancel culture beast. Again if we want to be naive and think Matt had no idea of what Shad's personal beliefs and viewpoints were before their collaboration (its obviously apparent he did as he much like I just did here "hyphned" he had watched "some of his other content") than your deceiving yourself for the benefit of Matt. No he was told to do what he did because if he had these feelings and opinions of Shad and his beliefs and viewpoints, he never would have collaborated with him in the recent video in the first place. The one benefit I'd give Matt is he probably was initially being neutral on the personal stuff and still focusing on swords when he chose to do the collaboration. But then when it was posted whatever parties it may have concerned intervened and then suddenly Matt posts the dissasociation post. Watch the video does Matt look uncomfortable around Shad? What about the other three collaborators like Todd from Todd's Workshop who was also there? Where's his dissasociation post to Shad? No unfortunately this is not just some simple dissasociation announcement. This is cancel culture rearing it's ugly head in our community and it's sad, petty and overall pathetic. And more importantly it will only get worse if nobody stands up to it and calls out the misbehavior of canceling and or dissasociating people based on their personal views and beliefs.

I’ve said my piece. Easton owes me nothing, much less justification for his actions. If he chooses to associate with X so be it, if not to so be it. That is his choice, not mine.

You are right, but Matt isn't just a person, he is a public figure of sorts, like politicians and actors, and should have been more careful. I mean if I say I hate Shad and want nothing to do with him, who cares, right? But he has reach and should have known this text/action would set off a storm in the community. Especially since it's so vague.

Did Matt have some suppressed personal issue that bubbled up after watching a Shad vid, who knows, but wouldn't he have mentioned this, thus explaining the draconian actions? Nature of speculation is a given with such a weeny explanation by Matt for draconian actions if indeed this was all about the vids. We do know this (setting potential PC police lunacy issue aside)...BS move on not privately conferring with a (now former) friend, and BS move on PUBLICLY airing it.

Somehow this all sounds like accusing someone publicly for accusing someone publicly.

Ya, as someone said BS, and that sums it up. Regardless of who wishes to, or not, be associated with whomever I’m still going to receive my pension. Ya, I get paid for doing nothing. I will enjoy a black beer with super. I started to say and while watching “Caso Cerrado” on TV but today is a holiday, Independence Day, and that program may be pre-empted. I’ll still watch an old movie on YouTube, probably a Sherlock Homes jobby, or one similar. Might even finish the series involving the Pink Panther. Afterwards, just before turning the lights out I’ll lay in bed reading a few pages, again, in “Bloody Blades of the British Empire”. It affects me not, especially to the point of deleting my SBG account.

I've locked this thread because (as examples have already been posted) there is absolutely no way to have a discussion on this topic without bringing up various rules violations. Politics and religion being the most obvious and attacking each other being the natural progression of things. I'm not issuing any warnings in this thread. However, do not start any new threads pertaining to this topic on this forum. There are very specific rules as to what is and is not allowed here. If in doubt, I suggest you reacquaint yourself with the rules of the forum.
Now, pick up something sharp and shiny and admire it for a moment. After all, that is what brought all of us here in the first place.
