Is that the same scene that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia wanted edited out?

Huh, that’s awkward

cause they're all homophobes, comes with the religion beat into their heads, that's why i dont make myself a part of any religion specifically cause the logic is all backwards like how we gonna read a book that tells us not judge and love our peers yet go around judging people and hating them for the way they are? it makes no sense how people can be so hypocritical

Another false analogy. Cancel culture is not the same as a boycott.

Having a movie removed (canceled) from a theater is not the same as suggesting people not go see it.

The AFT didn't ask to have it canceled, just advised their members not to go see it. If you want to go see the movie you have that right.

No, it's not false. AFT just lacks political and social power to enact their cancel dreams.

That is an assumption on your part with no evidence to back it up.

While I am not a fan of the AFA I could not find any reference to where the AFA has ever called for canceling, only boycotts. It does this by simply advising its 3.5 million members which movies or corporations do not hold to their values.

As far as not having social power, the AFA owns 200 American Family Radio stations in 33 states, seven affiliate stations in seven states, and one affiliate TV station (KAZQ) in New Mexico.

An organization connected to AFA is One Million Moms, and they do actively try to get TV shows they deem offensive taken off the air, as in completely canceled from being broadcast

False analogy? I suspect they boycott it because they want it to lose money & be removed from theatres.

They may want them to lose money their money, but they are not stopping you from going there. Canceling them would stop you from going there even if you want to.

A boycott is one form of canceling something, because you're asking people to withhold money from a business they otherwise might've patronized

No, a boycott means I will not use their service. Canceling means you can not use their service even if you wanted to.

these boycotts involve them telling other people to not use their service either

Yes, but the people they tell are not being forced not to use the service. If you cancel them, you forced everybody not to use the service, even if they want to use it. That is the difference between canceling and boycotting.

So wouldn't that mean that Twitter didn't cancel anybody, because those people are free to go use another social media service?

No other social media app yet has as much control of the public square as Twitter. So canceling them on Twitter was removing them from the public square.

You are also conflating not wanting to use a service (boycott) and being stopped from using a service (canceling). Not the same.

I don't use those sites, but even I know that's a lie. Twitter is tiny compared to Meta AKA Facebook.
