Despite Hollywood’s decidedly Leftward bent, not everyone in Tinseltown’s hip to Cancel Culture.
Count actor Ethan Hawke among those less than impressed with the outrage mob’s wipe-you-out ways.
In an interview with The Guardian to promote his new book, Hawke said the climate’s not a good one to discuss, for example, the touchy issue of male sexuality.
Said topic happens to have a home in the novel, which tells of a man’s relationship with a much younger woman.
The Guardian asked, “It’s a book in which sex is described regularly and frankly. Did you find this difficult in the current environment?”

“Our sexual identity and the relationship we have through it, to ourselves and to others, is defining in our lives,” he said. “And in the light of cancel culture and shaming while a lot of this moment is very helpful it’s a difficult time to say: ‘I want to be open about the idiosyncrasies of human sexuality.’
