Oh here we go. This is the part where a random dipshit claims that because I'm still alive and functioning, I was never really "cancelled", and surely, I'm not so important that any liberals would waste time trying to sabotage little old me! The funny thing is, I'm not that important. They still tried to ruin me anyway. When I didn't bend the knee, it just made them angrier. That's the real lesson everyone should take from this cancel culture shit. You don't need to be important. They'll gleefully destroy you too. But you want to know what happens if a guy who is at best a minor player in one small industry gets out of line? Buckle up. This is the super short abbreviated version. I've been talking about this shit openly for years, and most of my long term followers watched this shit unfold live. When it leaked that I, an out of the closet right winger, was up for a prestigious literary award, the Guardian newspaper ran multiple articles about how I was a sexist, racist, homophobic hatemonger. When pressed for any evidence of this behavior they literally crowd sourced a witch hunt (after already printing the articles mind you) to go through everything I'd ever written. They came up with NOTHING. In fact, the only example they could find of my misogyny was that I used to teach self-defense classes to women, and that was "victim blaming" and "enabling rape culture". But truth didn't matter. Narrative established. In one morning I had 16 major newspapers and entertainment blogs run matching articles about how I was a sexist, racist, hatemonger who was running a campaign to keep women and minorities out of publishing. This was obviously false and easily demonstrated as false (half my nominees were female or minorities, and were in fact far more diverse than the cadre of white liberals from previous years) Entertainment Weekly was forced to issue a retraction when I lawyered up, but at that point it didn't matter because the damage to my reputation had been done, and assholes ran with this narrative for the next THIRTEEN YEARS. After hundreds of thousands of people were told that I was a sexist hatemonger, the shit really got going. The pile on began. There were hundreds of calls to my publisher to drop me. To her credit she told them to fuck off because I'm no sexist racist. If I was with any other publisher I would have been out. So then they turned the pressure on book stores. All over the country, if you had Larry Correia novels, Caring Liberals went to management and said HOW DARE YOU? You can't have the books of a sexist racist hatemonger of hatey hate hate on your shelves! They called and complained to distributors. If it was an indy store at all on the left side of the spectrum, I got dumped. If it was a chain store with a liberal manager, I got dumped. Didn't matter how good I'd been selling before, can't have people crying about how they're supporting evil hate mongery. Then there's the review bombing and social pressure and endless bad marketing. There's nothing quite as fun as having a brand based upon your name, but anytime your name gets mentioned anywhere there's a guaranteed pile on of hundreds of Caring Liberals going But hes Raciisssssss! Meanwhile all my fans of various ethnicities say no he's not, but they get shouted down by liberals who are usually whiter than mayonnaise who know best. Places that review books were scared to review mine. If they did it had better be negative or else, and since most reviewers don't like to outright lie, they just don't review me. A liberal entertainment site thought surely I was exaggerating that, so they compared me and a liberal author who had similar sales numbers and a book release in the same week. He had 36 pro reviews. I had 1. I really love when I get an email from a critic who tells me they love one of my books, but they can't actually say that in public, because "you know". I've been repeatedly kicked out of events. How this works is I get invited. I make plans. They announce it. A legion of Caring Liberals show up to scream about how my presence makes them "unsafe", and then the management freaks out and disinvites me. This has happened so many times it is a running joke to my fans. This has been done successfully several times, and then unsuccessfully over the last few years as organizers have caught onto the scam and quit negotiating with terrorists. At the events I didn't get kicked out of, I quickly learned my lesson to always keep witnesses with me and never go anywhere alone, because these fuckers will lie their asses off about you. I went to one con, had a wonderful time, met hundreds of great people, did a bunch of events, then I get home and all over twitter this liberal hag scumbag author has tweeted "I heard Larry Correia was horribly rude and racist to a PERSON OF COLOR at GenCon!" She wasn't even there, but by the time I saw it this had gone viral and I've got two hundred thousand people going GASP HE IS SUCH A MONSTER. Here we go again. Except lucky for me every single panel I was on there had been recorded on video, so I chimed in and said "Okay, which one? They're all on tape. Let's watch it and see." And she immediately blocked me and then all her coven of witches told her how brave she was and they couldn't believe the audacity of me trying to defend myself. HOW RUDE. All that shit adds up to some serious financial dangers. I've lost a fortune because of missed opportunities, because I'll be involved in some project, until some Caring Liberal gets wind that I'm involved and then they pitch a fit, and I get booted because everybody else on the project is afraid. I've been kicked out of I don't know how many anthologies. I've been kicked out of teaching conference gigs. Hell, one time, they threw a tantrum and got me kicked out of a CHARITY anthology. I was the 2nd biggest author draw on there, I'm working for FREE to help an ANIMAL RESCUE, my fans are legendarily charitable, and these two fucking nobody authors cried and threw a tantrum about being in a CHARITY antho with the evil racist sexist monster, and the editor was all like, oh I'm sorry, and I know you're ten times the draw they are, but you know how it is and I can't risk an angry mob. (and I kept my mouth shut at the time and didn't tell the other decent human authors who were participating who would have withdrawn on principle because unlike these trash I wasn't going to sabotage a charity) Speaking of being denied opportunities, that doesn't get into Hollywood. Which I'm pretty sure I'm still under NDA, but holy fuck, good luck if you're an out of the closet conservative there! This has fucked me repeatedly, and every time somebody tells me they really want to make a movie I smile and nod and cash the option check and wait for the 25 year old gender studies grad in studio management to say Fuck That Guy and the project quietly dies once more. There's also the joys of having liberal book store employees brag on social media about shop lifting your books from the stores they work at to throw them in the trash so people can't read them, like they're so brave, doing the world a favor. Liberal librarians can be just as bad, which is extra funny, since I get to listen to these same hypocritical assholes cry about "banned" books every year. Keep in mind, my novels aren't overtly political. These people are just assholes. Let us be clear, if I had a normal job I would have lost it. As it is I'm basically an independent contractor, and even then most writers who have had this kind of thing happen to them, they were fucked forever. Career over. I survived and thrived because I'm not normal. I am powered by spite. I learned years ago how to weaponize their hate and use it for marketing purposes. I am an anomaly. Doesn't mean they didn't try to cancel me, it just means I'm stronger than they are. But that's just business, and a fraction of the shit I've seen there. The personal angle is where this shit gets dark and heavy. It turns out that when you have thousands of strangers screaming nonstop about how you're evil, some people believe that and act accordingly. After the initial media blitz they were out there making up so much crazy shit to see what would stick, and one of those was that I was a wife beater. What? I love my wife. 26 years, happily married. I've never done anything like that. Anyone who knows my wife knows she takes shit from no one and would put a bullet in me if I tried. But all of a sudden my wife starts getting all these concerned phone calls and emails from people she's not talked to since FUCKING HIGH SCHOOL asking if she's okay. Is she safe, being married to this horrible mean ABUSER. Do you need help? Do you need a place to go? And she's like, WTF are you talking about? The lies and slander never end and they follow you everywhere. Any community thing I participate in for the last decade, there's always one Caring Liberal going gross it's this guy. Can't we throw him out of our polite society? My kids ran into this. People treated my CHILDREN like shit because I was their dad. My daughters got ran out of clubs because of my alleged misogyny. Think about that irony. Nonstop hate, against not just me, but all my loved ones. Despicable fucking shit against kids as young as 12. None of my kids could use their real names online until they were adults. And the threats. Holy fuck the threats. I don't know how many times I got threatened with death during this. Those I mostly didn't mind because I know most libs are pussies who talk a lot of shit but are total cowards. Though there were a few over the years where it tripped my professional oh shit alarm, and steps had to be taken. Oh yeah, swatting. There's one reason I moved to the middle of fucking nowhere and everybody on my small county sheriff's department knows who I am. Doxxed? Too many times to count. At this point if you come up the lane, just be aware you're on camera and everybody here is armed. I'm actually leaving off a couple really heinous things assholes have done. I wrote them out, but then realized that it has been long enough that the assholes forgot, and if they were reminded, and knew how profoundly fucking hurtful it was, it would just inspire them to do that particular thing again. So I deleted those. I don't need that pain in the ass. The overwhelming majority of my liberal friends tossed me under the bus during this. In private they'd talk a big game, tell me it was unfair, they knew all this shit was untrue, but then in public they were fucking cowards, who sat there and said absolutely nothing as people lied their asses off and made up wild shit to try and fuck me over. They knew if they said a word they'd get cancelled too. Needless to say, I don't have very many liberal friends anymore. And people wonder why I'm so direct now. My thin veneer of civility was worn away long ago. I now no longer give a fuck and will be as respectful to you as you are to me. And I've seen what they consider acceptable behavior, so no mercy. As I write this I can already predict the liberal response. I deserved it. That's not what happened. You sound crazy. So on and so forth, but it don't matter anymore. Everyone is onto their scam now. On the bright side this has gotten a lot better over the years. Not from lack of trying on the part of leftist dorks, mind you, but rather because the general public has finally caught on. It used to be really lonely. Years ago when they'd try to kick me out of something, everybody would just roll over. Now, people rally and say fuck you. No. We're keeping him. You can stay home. Say my name anywhere and it used to be a hundred Caring Liberals screaming about how awful I am, now it's like three or four cranks, and everybody hates those assholes anyway. So there's the super short version. I left off a couple dozen other examples, and each of these could probably get a post this size explaining the details and business and personal repercussions, but you get the idea. These petty fucks will hound you to the ends of the Earth over nonsensical bullshit that exists in their imagination for years, and then cry like babies when some of them get fired over one weekend for advocating murder. Fuck 'em. The pendulum is swinging back. I hope it smashes them in the face.
