I don't agree with the cancel thing. Yea some people use it too much, and the rightwing does it too. But you're only talking about clapbacks to celebrities that are powerful. I've seen a lot of smaller actors, and people in publishing and whole games and media really get piled on. It started out from media criticism by journalist. But that criticism really did become about a quota kinda thing. And about jumping to conclusions. I've ignored that for so long I don't know if it still exists. But it went beyond talking and beyond wishing there was more. It went into considering something bad for what it was lacking. And then that got worst on the internet. I think it's fair to say that now more people can talk back. But sometimes those people are spiteful. Or just looking to get people in trouble. That one Flash actor that hadn't done anything at the time got canceled for a tweet he made about not making racist jokes because he'd be cancelled before he was on the show. One region of Spain banned Dragonball. It's one thing for criticize Minaj now for what she's doing. But digging up tweets? And holding on to that. That's the thing about cancel culture. It's not always totally wrong. But that doesn't mean it's right. There were always controversies. And maybe there were campaigns to get things off the air. But we don't look back at those as right. And it doesn't make them right just because the internet makes it easier to do. But it is a complex issue when the solution isn't just not calling things. The thing is that the internet makes it easy for it to roll into one. People often call it a mob. We saw it with public opinion and condemning people. I think it's just important not to get swept into it. And so having an understanding of how cancel culture can be is good to keep things in check. And when it's legitimate and when it's not.
