About 3 years ago the host of the Oscars was “Cancelled”.

People are afraid to host the Oscars
because they might get “Cancelled” by Twitter.

There is a door in this wall.
Forgiveness.

Let someone host the Oscars who was already “Cancelled” in the past.

Should a child rapist be forgiven and allowed to be your kid's teacher?
Is the same door in this wall? Forgiveness?

Let someone teach kids who was already “Cancelled” in the past?

It's your same question, I just changed the role and the offender. So what do you think?
Comedians in Hollywood are Cancelled for making bad jokes.

If you want to talk about teachers,
you should make your own thread.

He got canceled for making "bad jokes"? Not how I remember it. Offensive jokes, not "bad jokes".

Jokes that were made more than 10 years ago.
Do you feel upset that he was "canceled"?

Do you think a business has the right to hire whomever they want for a job as well as cancel whomever they want for a job, for any reason (other than protected classes)?

Do you think forgiveness also means to give someone something even if it's bad for business?

He was "cancelled" because he refused to apologize. And where are you getting the idea that people are "afraid" to host the Oscars? Just because they haven't had a host doesn't mean nobody wants to host it. The year Kevin Hart was supposed to host ended up being extremely successful, and they decided to repeat it last year, and this year were probably driven by COVID concerns.

Lol, the year Kevin Hart was banned,
was extremely successful.
People want to see who Hollywood would Cancel next.

How about before you cancel an Oscars host,
you must debate Bill Maher.

The year Kevin Hart got fired, the Oscars had a 12% percent increase in viewership then the year before. So yes, it was successful. The one after wasn't but there is no indication that it was because it was hostless. And you still haven't provided anything to support your claim that people are "afraid" to host the Oscars.

The Oscars has been missing a host 3 years in a row.

If they are still missing a host next year,
What will you say then?

The Oscars have gone multiple years without hosts before. It's not unheard of. And they said in 2020 that they were intentionally going without a host because of how well it went the year before.

Political correctness is the end of American comedy.

Humor doesn't have to be offensive, but that is also a different question to the how idea of if the Academy needs to "forgive" Kevin Hart. Which btw, they gave him a chance to apologize and he refused. That was why they fired him, because he joked about using violence on gay people and then refused to admit he was in the wrong.

They tried to cancel Ellen,
because people on her staff did something wrong.
Guilt by association, who’s next Kevin Bacon?
