Cancel Culture & Collective Cesspools

Transcript excerpts from Gabriel Inglesias: Stadium Fluffy (2022)

“I did manage to stay busy during the pandemic. I did a movie from my living room. Yeah. And it wasn’t even on Pornhub. The movie already came out in theaters. It was called Space Jam, it’s the movie with LeBron. Los Angeles, you are looking at the new voice of Speedy Gonzales.

“…I found it ironic that they hired the slowest Mexican to play the fastest, you know? And two weeks after I get this part, I come to find out that they’re trying to cancel Speedy Gonzales. I’m sure some of you heard that they came after two cartoons. They came after Pepé Le Pew and Speedy. Now, Pepé I understand. He’s a little touchy. You know, but he disguises it with a ‘Oh-oh, mon chéri. Oh-oh-oh! Mon chéri. Oh-lah-oh-ohhh!’ Yeah.

“But Speedy Gonzales, what’s his crime? He’s Mexican and he’s fast. That is not a crime. In Montebello, that’s called job security. So I said, ‘I cannot let them hurt Speedy,’ you know. ‘I can’t let them cancel him.’ So I came to his defense. (Plus, it was my only job.) I went to the only place I felt I could go to protect him. I went on Twitter.

"And Twitter, ooh, Twitter’s a scary place. It is. You only go there to fight, to get into it, to prove a point. And so a friend of mine said, ‘If you want to get some attention, use a hashtag,’ and so I did. And I wrote a tweet that said, ‘Hey #cancelculture. My name is Gabriel Iglesias, and I’m the new voice of Speedy Gonzales. You cannot cancel or catch me.’ And I posted it.

“I had no idea that when you go on Twitter looking for problems, you will find them. Oh, yeah. Every major news outlet picked up my tweet and used it in a story about cancel culture. ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN. If I would have known that, I would have used spellcheck. ‘Cause my family called. [in Spanish] “What, are you stupid? Spell correctly!” Oh my God. … Even Warner Bros. Pictures reached out to say thank you. and before I know it, I was on a Zoom call.…with the director, writer and producer of Space Jam. And they’re being super nice, super supportive, super cool.

"‘We have a question for you.’"

"I said, ‘Okay.’"

"‘How do you feel about the voice of Speedy Gonzales?’"

“I said, ‘Well, what do you mean?’"

"‘Well, you know, some people find him to be a little stereotypical. What are your thoughts?’"

"I said, ‘Well, you have not met my family.’ I cannot speak for all brown people, but I can tell you that me personally in my house growing up, Speedy Gonzales was not viewed in a negative way. As a matter of fact, he was the only form of representation we had growing up. It was him and the little bumblebee on The Simpsons.

“…I know I’m going to have to defend Speedy Gonzales again at some point, because unfortunately that’s how cancel culture works. You know? And don’t get me wrong. I understand that some people need to be held accountable, but—and by the way, if I’m the one telling you about cancel culture, it’s already gone way too far. Because I pride myself in the fact that I’m not a comedian who’s divisive. That’s why I don’t talk about politics, religion or sports, okay? Because all three will divide people. That’s why I talk about food. Because food brings people together. That’s right.

“…So, I almost got canceled. I almost got canceled because I posted a tweet of one of my dogs…I posted a picture of her on Twitter with the caption that basically read, ‘Going to take my little nugget to go get some chicken nuggets.’ And then I tagged ‘@Chick-fil-A.’ …My Twitter feed started getting flooded with nasty comments.

"‘You’re stupid, you’re horrible. How could you? We thought more of you.’"

"‘Really, Fluffy, you?’"

“And I don’t know what they’re talking about. The problem with cancel culture is they only attack, they don’t educate. They don’t explain. They just attack, and they expect you to know better or understand them, but they’re not willing to play nice. I’m asking questions, no one wants to answer.

"‘Fluffy, you’re horrible.’"

“I’m like, ‘What do you mean?’”

"‘Really? Chick-fil-A?’"

“I’m sorry, Popeyes was closed, I don’t know what to tell you.”

"‘You know what you’re doing.’"

“(Look), I am more hungry than woke. I don’t know what you mean. And then finally someone took the time to explain to me why I was ‘wrong’ for that tweet.

“…Here’s the thing, you guys. There are a million struggles in this world. Every single day there are people trying to better their lives, trying to get to a goal, trying to achieve something to get them out of one place and into something better. And it’s impossible to keep up with everyone’s fight unless you mess up, and then someone pulls you aside and reads you the riot act….

“But again, I understand that some people need to be held accountable for certain actions. I just feel like a lot of times, a simple conversation can fix things.”

for my fellow psychotics who struggle with thinking someone is in their house, a method I’ve found that really works are these guys:

i put them on my front door and anytime it opens they ring. that way if i think someone has broken in or i see someone who isn’t there i can think back to if the bells have rung, and if they haven’t i can assure myself it’s not real. obviously it’s not fool proof, like if you are prone to auditory hallucinations, but it has really helped me calm down in time to avoid major psychotic breaks. it’s a real lifesaver

nonpsychotics encouraged to rb

Many lgbt teenagers and young adults growing up on the internet today have socially conservative beliefs that they voice at all times that they got from their conservative parents which they’ve never challenged because they think the life experience of being gay or trans makes them politically progressive

in my head the star wars equivalent of tswift is some human woman named tay’lor spiff or something and her stans are losing their minds over theories that she’s secretly a jedi singing about the horrors of war, even though she’s from a neutral system that hasn’t seen so much as a moral panic in 50 years

“If you have time to watch Netflix you have time for a side hustle” my side hustle is relaxing so that my body and brain can heal from by this nose-to-the-grindstone bullshit. I refuse to feel guilty for being a human with the need to relax sometimes. my side hustle is no.
