Its supposed to be: Sticks and stone may break your bones but words will never hurt us... When did that change to 'words will get you cancelled'?

I was here for the chains and whips. Where did they go?
Lol.

Although it is incorrect that words will never hurt us. Words can really cut deep and are very powerful.

When people thought they could spew all over the internet without any blowback. Saying something you know is going to be disrespectful to a large number of people and then being surprised when that group of people acknowledges your disrespect is just willful stupidity. These same people have no qualms about separating themselves from others they disagree with but are offended when they’re on the receiving end.

isn't it "but chains and wips excite me"
@wackidywack these boomers will turn everything into a pity party, even a historic piece of art in modern lyrical literature

There is no difference between words and bullet both ones fired they never come back , one can survive and relief from bullet shot but words give incurable wounds on soul!

@AngelKrish People who say things like that either never were shot at or likely want to die anyway. 🤷🏻‍♀️

No idea... I haven't seen a single person getting cancelled yet.
@NerdyPotato it’s a myth like Bigfoot.

Always has been. What words get you cancelled just have changed.
@CountScrofula nah, cancelation has never been a thing. Attempts to do so, yes. And the words to trigger that have changed. But actual cancellation doesn't happen, or very rarely. Usually attempts lead to a lot of extra interviews and even more succes than before.
