Rowan Atkinson, best known for his work as the beloved character Mr. Bean, is the latest comedian to take a stand against cancel culture in a new interview with the U.K.'s Radio Times.
In case you missed it, attacking cancel culture is the latest trend amongst middle-aged comedians, who are all too eager to take a stand against the "overly sensitive" Millenials.
As it turns out, he has some pretty harsh opinions about it, and a lot of people aren't super impressed with his hot take.
He continued, "It becomes a case of either you’re with us or against us. And if you’re against us, you deserve to be 'cancelled'."
"So it is scary for anyone who’s a victim of that mob, and it fills me with fear about the future," he concluded.
"Remember when Mr. Bean didn’t say [explective]? I miss that," tweeted one user.
"Cancel culture” is a myth. 1.) it’s consequences of actions (we do not have to support shitty ppl) 2.) who the heck has ever been cancelled!?? (Kevin Hart, Chris Brown, the white Chris, Roman P, Woody Allen...still have careers and make bank. I can’t name 1 person “cancelled”) pointed out @mrstownloner.
