what do we think of what she said CE? The first part of her tweet about appropriation didnt make much sense to me but her commentary about outrage essentially becoming a trendy thing to do does have some merit I think. Apparently shes receiving a lot of backlash for that tweet which I found ironic lol

i feel like "outrage culture" would be a more fitting phrase than "cancel culture", theres tons of celebrity/public figure douchebags running around spouting offensive shit but they never really get cancelled.

Yeah, exactly this.

People pretend that if you offend somebody these days, you disappear into a black hole never to be heard from again, which has never been less true. Modern technology means every dickhead has a platform.

Cancel culture is a runaway train that has essentially killed most avenues of entertainment. Thats why all we have to choose from is superhero movies and Star Wars.

If she could point to instances of "cancel culture" being used as appropriation I could buy it.

Problem is "cancel culture" is just modern parlance for "people being mad". Occasionally the people who are mad are in great enough numbers that the bean counters in control of a product decide to kowtow to them, but that's been the case for longer than anyone having this conversation has been alive.

The only thing that's changed is that these arguments are more visible thanks to the advancement of the internet as a public square.

So true, I remember when you could go to the movies, watch TV, or play a video game, but all that is gone now. In fact, today, after work, I was so bored I decided to go to the library to find something to pass the time, but the liberals had it shut down! Rumor is that they were caught lending Friends DVDs to impressionable children!

Dude says most entertainment is dead, then in the very next sentence says they dont make any entertainment he likes. Will he try to explain how those 2 statements arent contradictory?

I just wish we wouldn't misuse the word appropriation. It used to be for legitimate cases where people stole and harmed minority groups' culture.

Nah, Cultural Appropriation is a real thing and its not just sharing cultures.

I think the term has been thrown out a lot but it is real. I think Miley Cyrus is a good example for it. Her career was floundering and she used hip hop to get popular again. As a soon as she drained as much as she could from it she went to bashing it.

The point isn't that people actually get into a black hole, the point of "cancel culture" is the intention. People TRY to cancel others, want them fired, want them removed from everything, etc, want their reputation sullied. They don't just get mad, they want to spread the anger and create a mob.

You see it all the time, recently on the pro wrestling subreddit it's been awful. Massively upvoted front-page posts because a wrestler liked a tweet about being happy they didn't get vaccinated. Somebody sees that on twitter and their reaction is to spread that to as many people as possible so everybody can mass shame them.

The cancelling can be reputation as well. It's true in that instance there weren't people saying they should be fired, but there often is in other situations. Lacey Evans shared a video about processed foods causing autism and people were saying she should be fired (and outright bullying her to be honest)
