  1. The problem with cancel culture, or whatever you want to call it today, is the rush to judgement. The taking of an accusation as gospel truth and deciding to ruin someone's life because of it. Famous example, Johnny Depp being accused of being a wife-beater. The rush was to remove him from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise (successfully) and the Fantastic Beasts movie series (unsuccessfully) all because of an accusation. Nothing was proven, no investigation was completed, no trial in progress. After some investigation had been done, after the call to cancel, THEN it was shown he wasn't the abuser at all, Amber Heard was abusing him and claiming to be abused to get him attacked. One of her attacks on him nearly severed a finger. Is cancel culture a problem? Absolutely, especially when it comes to forgetting to do the hard work of figuring out what the truth is first. I wouldn't be against it for people who can be proven to be bad actors. Your Jared Fogles, your Harvey Weinsteins, your Bill Cosbys, people who went through a proper investigation and shown to be bad actors. But when it's the rumor mill and #metoo activism being used to hurt someone without evidence, it's bad and needs to be both called out and stopped. Cancel cancel culture.
