"I think cancel culture is the stupidest thing I have ever seen happen," she told host Jenny Hutt. "I think when people say things that they feel and mean, and it's offensive to you, it's a brilliant opportunity for everyone to learn and grow and understand each other."

The Basic Instinct star whose new book, The Beauty of Living Twice, is out March 30 noted that people should use their different experiences as a way to better learn about one another.

"We all come from different ages, different cultures, different backgrounds, different things, and have had different experiences, different traumas, different upbringings, different parents, different religious backgrounds, different everything," she explained.

Stone added that others should give people an opportunity to discuss things before you wipe out their entire person over a statement or a comment or a misunderstanding."

"Stop being so small. People have done so much more than one sentence," she continued, urging others to "grow up" and "grow some empathy."

I thought it was more about college kids feeling offended. Which in that case, he would be right.

She is sort of right about considering 2 sides. There's no way Louis CK or the Indian dude who's name escapes me should be put on the Weinstein pedestal.

No, its because hes an incredibly wealthy 66 year old and his stand up routine isnt funny to 18-23 year olds.

His style is a bit boomery I would agree. TV show is still GOAT though.

Canceling someone because they believe that Trans people shouldn't have rights, minorities should be killed, or some other racist, xenophobic, homophobic belief isn't being unjustified.

Why do people act like people are getting canceled for not liking pineapple on pizza? Someone saying i don't have the right to exist because of my skin color doesn't automatically get the privilege of civil discourse.

Its always white people telling minorities to "talk it out" over this shit. Yeah, sometimes twitter mobs overreact but holding people accountable for the horrible things they say is good

I dont want to associate with shitty people and I dont want to spend all my time trying to have conversations with them to make them less shitty. People who genuinely miss the point are worth talking to if youve got the energy. People who just like being shitty arent worth the energy.

She would have a point if that whole exchange hasn't already happened. The arguments have been made over, and over, and over. The answers have been had, and there's no progress on those discussions, no point to the repetition.

Don't get me wrong, there are some people genuinely lost in the cracks. People willing to have a real discussion because they never sought to learn before, and then they get associated with the bigots for genuine questions instead of the usual bad faith stuff, which is unfair.

But the majority? Look at this very site. They have nothing to say but hatred.

Why would she think that we're not learning about each other? I've learned a ton about certain people over the last few years.

What they value.
What they consider more important than human life.
What they are willing to sacrifice for some semblance of order.
Who they feel they're superior to.
What they feel they're allowed to get away with.

You dont need to defend the statement of Im glad people who cant elect their government were harmed by a natural disaster because I dont like their government. Disasters almost always harm the most powerless people, not the ones making the horrific decisions.
