Dave Chappelle. Gina Carano. J.K. Rowling. These are the people who have been so consistent, so public, and so fearless in their refusal to capitulate to the demands of woke mobs, they tend to be the only stars we think about when the subject comes up.<\/p>\n<p>But on a number of occasions over the past year, the woke brigade overplayed their hand to such a degree that even actors, musicians, and performers typically known for being apolitical or even liberal have begun to sound the alarm.<\/p>\n<p>You may have missed or forgotten these stories, but these celebrities also offered pushback to mob demands that they conform \u2014 or else.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ralph Fiennes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As J.K. Rowling has bravely stood against the tide of madness in pop-culture by insisting that biological sex is real, nearly all the stars in the Harry Potter films have distanced themselves from her, with one notable exception. Ralph Fiennes, Voldemort himself, proved that there is still a spark of class and gallantry in Hollywood.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about Rowling\u2019s views on the transgender movement in March, Fiennes didn\u2019t show the same ingratitude as his castmates by throwing her under the bus. Instead, he pointed to the inappropriate behavior of the trans activists and allies calling for her head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t understand the vitriol directed at her,\u201d he told<a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/theatre\/what-to-see\/ralph-fiennes-back-theatre-will-emotional\/\"> The Telegraph<\/a> in an interview. \u201cI understand the heat of an argument, but I find this age of accusation and the need to condemn irrational. I find the level of hatred that people express about views that differ from theirs, and the violence of language towards others, disturbing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ice Cube<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2020, the hip hop legend started to voice opinions that left his industry and the media shocked. Among the comments that horrified them \u2014 his revelations that he\u2019d spoken with the Trump campaign about its Contract with Black America policy plan. When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2020\/10\/20\/opinions\/ice-cube-50-cent-donald-trump-racism-joseph\/index.html\">CNN<\/a> and other media outlets published op-eds denigrating his collaboration with a Republican president, Cube made it clear he\u2019s more interested in elevating the prospects of African-American communities than in being a left-wing lemming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not playing no more of these political games, we\u2019re not part of a team,\u201d he said of the Democratic party in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2020\/10\/17\/us\/ice-cube-donald-trump-cuomo-interview-trnd\/index.html\">interview<\/a> with Chris Cuomo, \u201cso I\u2019m going to whoever\u2019s in power and I\u2019m going to speak to them about our problems, specifically,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To underline the point, in February of this year, he released a new single \u2014 his first solo music since 2018 \u2014 attacking cancel culture. Titled, \u201cTrying to Maintain\u201d the song seems to reference the criticism he received over Trump:<\/p>\n<p><em>Yeah, n***a, all y\u2019all followers<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Follow every word like swallowers<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Wanna catch it when I spit it<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>F*** a critic and his analytics<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I don\u2019t fit in your formula\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>With a little Mary Jane on the campaign<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Whip by you in the fast lane<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Only act like this \u2019cause of black pain<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>F*** your cancel culture, bi***<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>You can\u2019t cancel a soldier, trick<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nicki Minaj<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In September, the rapper\u2019s off-hand tweet to a fan about her personal decision-making process when it comes to the Covid vaccine drew a multitude of nasty responses, including from major media figures like MSNBC\u2019s Joy Ann Reid and government officials like Anthony Fauci. The Twitter speech police put her account in lockdown and her mentions were flooded with people demanding she apologize and backtrack, but Minaj was having none of it.<\/p>\n<p>Among her spicy clap-backs, she posted a video of Fox News host Tucker Carlson offering her support. That was when the mob accused her of platforming white supremacists. Even then, the ten-time Grammy nominee wasn\u2019t intimidated, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NICKIMINAJ\/status\/1438256221660663812?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1438256221660663812%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.girlsaskguys.com%2Fsocial-relationships%2Fq4624660-do-you-agree-with-nicki-minaj-that-democrats-expect-black-people-to\">replying<\/a> in her inimitable style, \u201cRight. I can\u2019t speak to, agree with, even look at someone from a particular political party. Ppl aren\u2019t human any more. If you\u2019re black &amp; a Democrat tells u to shove marbles up ur ass, you simply have to. If another party tells u to look out for that bus, stand there &amp; get hit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the end, Minaj compared Big Tech, Big Media, and Big Government trying to silence her to communist authoritarianism, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gtCmhZjS1Rg\">saying<\/a> on Instagram, \u201cI remember going to China and they were telling us you know, you cannot speak out against, you know, the people in power \u2026 Don\u2019t y\u2019all see that we are living now in that time where people will turn their back on you \u2026 people will isolate you if you simply speak and ask a question.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Terry Crews<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As Hollywood embraced the Black Lives Matter movement over the last two years, one notable hold out was \u201cBrooklyn Nine-Nine\u201d star and \u201cAmerica\u2019s Got Talent\u201d host, Terry Crews.
