He described the &#8220;woke culture&#8221; as &#8220;truly awful&#8221; and highlighted the incessant need to shame and bury people.<\/p>\n<p>Both Cox and Morgan agreed on the negative impact of the &#8220;shaming culture.&#8221; Cox questioned the origin of this trend and identified millennials as the usual arbiters of shaming. He expressed his confusion about their authority and difficulty in pinning them down.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;Succession&#8221; star Brian Cox: &#8220;The whole woke culture is truly awful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Piers Morgan: &#8220;And the shaming culture.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cox: &#8220;I don&#8217;t know where it comes from.

However, he emphasized that their approach stems from the wrong principles and motivations.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan questioned who gave millennials the authority to shame others, to which Cox had no answer. Cox previously defended J.K. Rowling, the author of the &#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; series, against her critics who disagreed with her support of biological women. He believed that Rowling was entitled to her opinion and expressed his disapproval of the treatment she received.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Cox has criticized the censorship of works like Roald Dahl&#8217;s novels by the woke culture, deeming it &#8220;disgraceful.&#8221; He firmly believes that rewriting literature to align with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/succession-star-brian-cox-blasts-woke-culture\/\" title=\"Brian Cox, star of 'Succession,' criticizes 'woke culture.'\">specific moral code<\/a> is unacceptable.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;We can&#8217;t start rewriting works of literature because it suits our so-called moral code.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It is &#8220;disgraceful&#8221; to rewrite Roald Dahl&#8217;s books, says actor Brian Cox. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/adamboultonTABB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@AdamBoultonTABB<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KateEMcCann?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@KateEMcCann<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hqVgOfcQUw\">pic.twitter.com\/hqVgOfcQUw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Times Radio (@TimesRadio) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TimesRadio\/status\/1627285493967900677?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 19, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian Cox, star of &#8220;Succession,&#8221; criticized &#8220;woke culture&#8221; and millennials as the online arbiters who shame and cancel those who disagree with them.
