Canel culture is real

People are triggered so easily
Partly because they cannot think for themselves or understand the base rate

Air is racist. It doesn’t have any color. So air is racist.

If your product has a black person on the box/bottle it’s racist. If your product doesn’t have a black person on the box/bottle it’s racist.

Before social media people made small mistakes but it didnt stick to them like glue and tarnish their image forever. Twitter is a mess for that especially. Some of it is so unnecessary

I positively love cancel culture.. I hate the whiney willies who bleat on about cancel culture, they are the worst tantrum throwers ever. They want free speech but when it's turned back on their ignorant, arrogant selves, just watch them spew indignation. It's hilarious to watch them throw their little hissy fits

It's real, but it's not relegated to one side and I think its effects are often exaggerated. There was an interesting episode of the podcast "You're Wrong About" about the cancellation of the Dixie Chicks in 2003. Even back then it was swift and brutal mainly because of post-9/11 jingoism. Nowadays it's mainly done through social media. Still, in a lot of these examples, companies are "self-canceling" to get ahead of a mob that might never have been coming for them in the first place. Dr. Seuss' obscure books had been called out before, no one was threatening to cancel Dr. Seuss if they didn't remove those books from print, but for some reason they felt they had to act. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, but the side doing all of the cancelling likes to keep it quiet, while the side getting cancelled speaks up louder.
