After Marilyn Manson's October 26th show in Brighton was canceled due to a few annoying male feminist moralizers who pressured Green Party members of the City Council, which owned the venue there, the only other real possible chance of another Manson show being canceled in England during his originally six scheduled tour dates was in Nottingham. This is because the Nottingham Motorpoint Arena is also owned by the City Council, though in Nottingham the Council is mainly dominated by the slightly less liberal Labour Party, if that makes any difference. The other four venues of the original six do not have this setup, so there is much less of a chance those will be canceled. Naturally, therefore, the male feminist fascist losers of Male Allies Challenging Sexism who want to control the purity standards of pristine England have focused their sites on Nottingham and pressuring the Council members to cancel the gig there. The concert at Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham is scheduled for Nov...
As an introduction to his performance of "Disposable Teens" at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada on September 1st 2024, Marilyn Manson, speaking to his fans in the audience, addressed the attempt at his cancelation, saying:
"How dare anybody try to take you away from me. How dare anybody try to take me away from you, cause I'm not FUCKING DISPOSABLE!"
In saying this, Manson is telling the audience that even though there was an attempt to have him canceled, it was also an attempt at canceling all those who who support him and have been his fans. To say "how dare" is a response of offense and anger. When something is "disposable" it is intended to be used once, or until no longer useful, and then thrown away, which goes well with what cancelation really is. So in saying with emphasis he is not disposable he is telling his audience that he is back with a vengeance and uncancelable.
It should also be highlighted that the music video from 2000 for "Disposable Teens" is precisely a depiction of the entire process of being canceled and coming back with a vengeance, and this is reflected again in Manson's new music, especially in the opening lines of "Raise the Red Flag".* In the 2000 video for this first single after being blamed for the Columbine Massacre, we see Manson being crucified and devoured as a sacrifice and rising again from the waters with vengeance, followed by him performing in front of a crowd surrounded by fascist looking police with crucifix shaped batons. As the video climaxes the crowd is seen overthrowing the guards. In other words, even back in 2000, there was an attempt at Manson's cancelation, and in his new music and performance, especially with this recent introduction to "Disposable Teens" a few days ago, Manson is showing that the cycle is being repeated and that he is indeed uncancelable.

* "Your autopsy table is ready
Pay off the drug deals you made with God
A last meal, then your crucifixion
If you're not paranoid, it's probably too late."
