Do you?









I think its a tool that too many people are quick to use and it turns into online bullying, even if the person doesn't deserve it or if they've changed at all

Cancel culture is fucking stupid. The immediate reaction is to take it at face value and ruin someones life. Then it turns out its not even true. But its 2020 so its too late, thats all anyone will ever think of that person

No, I separated media from who the creator is in their personal life probably in high school. I just judge media based on merit, that's it.

Ostacization has existed for as long as human society has, it's just the line that's been moved.
Cancel Hobby Lobby, Chik-fil-a, Lena Dunham, R. Kelly, and other verified shitbags who deserve to be in jail (3 of the four above) or don't deserve support.
The counterr eaction to the cancel movement is just as bad as the negative issues with the movement.

Worse, I'd say, since it's pretty actively used to try to outright defend reprehensible shit.

It's a horrible system. With exception of irrefutable proof like video for a horrible crime, these companies should at best put them on temporary leave while an investigation is pursued. Instantly firing or disassociating without any evidence due to pressure from 15 people bitching on Twitter is stupid.

Good point. Anyone who doesn't usually just sees a person who made an error in judgement or mistake. Most shit people wanna cancel others over should be the warning. Then you just pay more attention that they don't do it again after they've been made aware. The whole 1 and done is just some high horse bullshit. Situational, obviously

Like a couple weeks ago when Joji fans found out he used to be Filthy Frank. So they created the #jojiisover hash tag to cancel him.

Like I said, ostracism has always been a part of human culture. In the past, celebrities were black listed for coming out as gay, commecting even remotely with Communism, or plenty of other things.
Why is it a bad thing to ostracize someone for being racist or committing sexual assault?

@CalypsoDoom

because then shit like this happens:

https://popculture.com/reality-tv/news/hana-kimura-cause-of-death-has-fans-devastated/

Terrace House: Tokyo 2019-2020 star and wrestler, Hana Kimura's fans continue to mourn her shocking death Sunday, following the revelations that she died after reportedly ingesting hydrogen sulfide. Kimura was found dead in the Koto ward of Tokyo Friday and was 22 years old. She was reportedly targeted by cyberbullies and published several concerning messages on social media before her death.

The Japanese news outlet Sponichi Annex reported Kimura took her own life by ingesting hydrogen sulfide. Police have not made more details public out of respect for her family, notes EWrestling News. WWE wrestler Kairi Sane revealed on Twitter she saw Kimura's disturbing social media posts before those in Japan, who were asleep at the time. She called other wrestlers with her concerns, but they did not reach Kimura in time.

Before her death, Kimura was reportedly targeted by intense cyberbullying due to a controversial moment on Terrace House. During a scene filmed in January, a male housemate washed his clothing with Kimura's outfit for a Tokyo Dome show and ruined it. Kimura lost her temper and hit a hat off her co-star's head. Since the show went on a hiatus in April due to the coronavirus pandemic, fans spent their time by sending her hateful messages.

She was harassed by accusations that she slapped and/or punched a dude on an unscripted reality TV show. The truth was she took his hat and threw it on the ground after he took and washed her wrestling outfit and ruined it.

She received thousands of hateful messages and eventually she took her own life.

This is why cancel culture is dangerous and stupid. Because its like a game of telephone in the middle and end stages. People quit reading the articles and just see the hashtags and retweets and don't question it and go and attack people who might not deserve it.

Now if its a legitimate sexual assault case or there is video evidence then yeah, take your lumps, but people get into this mindset that if you fuck up once, you deserve to be canceled.

Not to mention those who go out of their way to dig up old tweets or videos from 5+ years ago to cancel people(i.e. the James Gunn situation)

No. That's why cancel culture is dangerous, but that doesn't make it stupid. Cyber bullying and mindless internet fads are stupid. The idea that you should effectively boycott someone for something terrible they've done is not fine, it's where the line is drawn that is an issue. Cancel culture is not new, just in vogue. If anything, social media which promotes low information sharing, like Twitter and Facebook, are the issue.
