In light of how much censorship the USA has been undergoing these days where if you even say "hello" the wrong way it seems, then you automatically get cancelled, I have decided to no longer publish anymore articles on this site, nor any other site until further notice.

No, I have no intentioon of deleting any of my articles that I've already published for now, but if any of you wish to unfollow me in light of this information, then I'll completely understand.

Anyways, feel free to browse my past content, and message me if you have any questions. Also stay safe everyone.

Also I will still be posting in these forums periodically like you all have seen me doing these past few months, and hopefully I'll see you guys later.

  I already stated my reasons in response to lobobrandon. You can read it if you want and that's your answer right there. Look I've been been thinking about this most of this year honestly. Yeah I did want to start writing again but after seeing how bad censorship has gotten, and how tenuous my situation is in real life right now, I had to ask myself is writing articles even worth it? I mean right now I have a strong possibility of moving up with the job I have now if things go well and do I really want to risk publishing an article where people might get offended and I'll end up losing everything in real life over it? People do get fired over things you post online you know.
  
  Hell there were quite a few hotel employees that were fired for endorsing the freedom of Hong Kong. Hell in the NBA, Daryl Morey of the Houston rockets was forced to apologise publicly merely liking a tweet to free Hong Kong. And since then it was on record that any fan that shows up to NBA games that shows up with shirts, signs and etc in support to free Hong Kong was immediately thrown out of NBA games.
  
  I'm sorry but I have too much to lose than I have to gain by publishing an another article. I'm sorry but I'm done.

  For days, I migrated to this thread and found it challenging. But I refrained from making any post or comment. Here and there I got few hints, and this question trouble an inquisive mind. Seriously, is the censor by the government? I may be wrong. But I reason "race" is now a uniquire powerful too being used to target all things, persons, and organisations. Correct? But the effects were very terrific. I feared if government or the politician leverage on this, a riot may result. But heavens forbid bad things.

  I wouldn't say by the government but more or less by the US society in general. Look, I do appreciate you taking the time to want to comment on this issue, but my mind is already made up. I have too much to lose if i publish an article that might "offend" anyone.
  
  Therefore, I'm not going to publish anything anymore. I only created this thread on the off chance that my followers might see it, and it's more or less giving them a heads up that I'm not producing content anymore so they can make the choice to continue to follow me or not. It's entirely up to them.

  I admit that I didn't read the entirety of this thread; although, I did read a good bit. I respect the OP's wishes and I understand that to someone from outside the US looking in that it does probably look scary. The thing is that the people doing the cancel culture are really a small percentage of the population here. They're the ones that get on social media and scream the loudest. The news picks it up because...well, all they care about is making money and so they run a story on it. Also, depending on the news network, they add fluff (lots of fluff). Fluff sells.
  
  The thing is that they can't cancel you if you refuse to be cancelled. Nick Sandman is a perfect example. He refused to be cancelled. He fought back and is no where near cancelled. In fact, he'll never have to work if he doesn't want to because he's rolling in all that dough.
  
  People tried to cancel Howard Stern back in the day. Is he cancelled? Heck no! He owns Sirius Radio. That man is far from cancelled.

  I get what you're saying but the difference between me and those other people you speak of is that they had a lot of supporters backing them up. Even when I was at my most popular on this site, I think I only generated like maybe a 100 views per every new I published if even that so I have to ask myself is the risk worth the reward. Or is the risk too much in my case since I really need the job I'm working at now.
  
  It's a shame too as I do miss writing and I did have a lot of ideas on what I was going to write about but sadly those ideas won't be published anytime soon.

  Stevennix2001posted 4 years agoin reply to this
  Not at all. I just noticed how bad censorship has gotten in the USA that if you don't parrot what the liberal media wants then you get cancelled.
  
  For example. There's a guy on geeks and gamers YouTube that was labeled a racist a few years ago when he gave black panther an 8 out of ten.
  
  Then there's the incident with Goya where all the CEO did was state his opinions about trump and then CNN and various other companies are now demanding they be cancelled.
  
  You had a baseball player called out as being racist for standing during the national anthem recently simply because of religious beliefs.
  
  Hell after the Washington Redskins agreed to change their name and logo, now I'm finding out the Texas rangers name is now deemed offensive?
  
  Hell James harden recently came into the NBA bubble wearing a damn blue facemask with the American flag on it and he had to apologise for that. Why would he even need to apologise for that?
  
  Hell you have the Washington Post demanding all cop shows and movies be cancelled. Hell you know the cop dog from paw patrol? There's legions of people out there demanding that he put to sleep just because they don't want cops to be portrayed in a positive light.
  
  Hell at my new job recently, we used to be able to wear whatever we wanted as long as there was nothing that could be deemed offensive on our attire. But now? We're being asked to wear attire that has no logos, no messages, and no adverting of any kind.
  
  You have various companies and politicians considering mangas and Japanese anime too pornographic and some politicians claim it exploits kids. No joke. Hell I just found out dragon Ball z might be cancelled soon because some politician in the USA says it's too lewd.
  
  After talking about this with my family, I'm scared that if I write another article and if it doesn't line up exactly with what society wants then I'll end up being cancelled. I have a lot going for me right now in real life and I'm not going to risk it all away writing articles that get maybe a 1000 or sometimes as low as 10 views at best each. That's not worth the risk to me.

  lobobrandonposted 4 years agoin reply to this
  That's not the same as cancel culture in my opinion. Cancel culture is as the OP pointed out, the cancellation of puff paws or whatever that cartoon is called. What you are talking about is inclusiveness. Taking down statues of people who offended millions is not a bad thing, you do not find statues of Hitler in town centers, even though he did do some amazing things for the country because he was mostly genocidal. He was seen for his actions and not say the advances in science and flight that his actions led to.
  
  People who "discovered" the America's for profit (for example) and massacred people are in the same light genocidal folk who did help aid in the growth of navigation, but that is not their main contribution, albeit many see it that way because they were not the ones that were wronged, it's just human nature to not be able to see things from many perspectives. At that time it was not a crime in certain parts of the world to do things we now consider wrong, but I'm sure the natives did not like this even at that point in time and now that they are being given an opinion and things that point to the destruction of their culture and their ancestors is being seen as destroying American culture? Really?
  
  You no longer have the word thou in the English language that was used in many senses to say you without a lot of respect. Things change with time words come and go. I can see that the pronouns are going to change in time too, scary for some people out there, I can imagine. I don't care what pronoun people refer to me by, I'm Brandon, I'm a man yes, but I'm Brandon first, so counting me as an individual before a man is not something I take offense to, I do understand why some people can find it offensive.
  
  The fact is that women are not being omitted, many are being offended because others are being included, so what if they are just 1% or 5% of the population? I don't see how it is offensive to be seen as an individual instead of a woman.
  
  Going into others' work and changing things is a whole different story that takes away free speech, but when public offices and public institutions are making sure everyone is included why is it seen as negative, especially when these offices need everyone on their side for them to come into power be it the minority or the majority. The majority is not being put in danger by this move, so it cannot be argued that the needs of many outweigh the needs of the few. It is the same reasons businesses are making changes to be inclusive. Does this all sound stupid? Of course, but something sounding stupid for a while is a lot better than something causing generations of people to be depressed just because they have to fit a label. This is called progress, there are studies that show the number of people who go into depression just because they don't fit a label, and no they are not all LGBT.
  
  You being told that white witchcraft could be seen as racist is stupid where people don't know what it refers to. White being seen as selfless is a whole different debate, but that has go to do with light and darkness and not skin colour.
  
  What is happening to JK Rowling and the others is just people being stupid and hateful you have stupid people in all walks of life, the majority and the minority.
  
  Those are just my thoughts on the subject. I would rather have my society being accepting of people and their sentiments when it is easy to do rather than have sentiments in someone who wronged others. This is also why I do not have role models or people I look up to. I admire some traits of some individuals, not the individual.

  I agree with mostly all you say, but to deliberately not use the word 'women', which is what was done in my example, is just plain wrong. There are suggestions that the word should be changed to 'womxn'.
  
  To open up female-only spaces to males who identify as women is wrong. Trans women who have actually transitioned is fine but if they are sporting male genitalia then they need their own spaces. There have been several incidents in the UK where women and girls have been physically assaulted. We need to feel safe when in our designated safe-spaces. I need to know that my girl is safe.
  
  I do understand the issues and I do understand that trans people also need to feel safe. This is quite a well-thought out article which explains the dilemma.

Apparently, the wo in the word woman means she. So obvious in male and female. Interestly, words man and woman is as old as when the human being were created. The first man was no nuts when he called his partner woman or opposite.

  I've been following the reaction to JK Rowling's recent statements and the treatment she is getting is appalling. She is being called hateful and transphobic and receiving dick pics and rape threats for this tweet:
  
  "Dress however you please.
  Call yourself whatever you like.
  Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you.
  Live your best life in peace and security.
  But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real?"
  
  Rowling is referring to a woman who was fired for stating that sex is real, that people either male or female and cannot change sex. Women ARE being cancelled in the sense that women are being told that males can be women and we must accept males as women if they claim to be women.
  
  The harassment people get for knowing that sex is real and important is ridiculous and infuriating.

If the indians had their way today, the pilgrims would have been slaughtered and America never happened. Thanksgiving day is a day of mourning for the indians. I do not say we treated the indians right, but there was such a culture clash between the europeans and the indians the two could not exist side by side. For example kentucky was a sacred hunting ground where no one was supposed to live. That is why Daniel boons original settlements in kentucky had such a hard time with the indians. Indians did not believe in private land ownership. The tribal lands were owned by the tribe, not individuals.

Life used to be so much simpler when we were men and women.

  Indeed. The thing is, we still are just men and women. Everything else is in the mind.
  
  Apart from real cases of physical intersexual people. Very rare.

hmmm well i may have one idea, but i'm entirely sure it would work. Maybe I can open up a dummy account on here, and just write on that. It'll be an account where I can write whatever I want as long as it fits within hubpages guidelines of course, but it would be a way to do it without fearing reprisals. What do you guys think?

  You have a simple solution. HubPages does not require you to use your real name. You just need a real-sounding name. Edit your profile and change your name.
  
  Marisa Wright is not my name. It's the name I'm known by online. In the early days, I was scrupulous to ensure it couldn't be linked to my real name in any way (exxcept by HubPages staff, who have my real name on my Paypal account). Now I'm retired, I'm less bothered about that.
  
  If you are worried people might be able to dig down and connect your current HubPages account to you, then by all means, start a new account using a pen name. Writers have been doing that for hundreds of years.

  That's not a bad idea actually. Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely keep it under consideration.

  I suggest you do it now, even if you're not going to post any new material. It will take only a few seconds. Forum members here know you by your username more than your real name so it won't affect people much. Keep the Steve and just change the surname to something totally different.

  Well even still I think i'd rather just create a new account considering I already promoted this account on social media under my real name so it may just be cleaner to just delete this one and start over, but we'll see. Thanks for the advice.
