If you're familiar with the story of Snow White, you probably know that it ends, happily, when Snow White is kissed by her Prince Charming. Now Disney finds itself on the wrong side of the cancel culture because they tell that story.
Now you might think this is because with the seemingly dead Snow in her glass coffin that the problem was a manifestation of Charming's necrophiliac tendencies. After all, he was pretty sure she was dead. Turns out the cancel culture saw right through that and honed in on the real problem: Charming did not get Snow's consent. That's right, consent was not obtained from the corpse. Running with that one might presume that since a corpse, like an incapacitated drunk, cannot give consent this was in fact a sexual violation. Now before you get all huffy about how a kiss ain't sex ask yourself this: is kissing as oral sex nothing more than about where the kiss is planted? If so Charming's offense is a difference in degree, not in kind.
And that's how the cancel culture works.
