Is Cancel Culture harmful, helpful or somewhere in the middle?

I actually see a lot of hypocrisy from people trying to cancel others.

One example would be a while ago I seen people going crazy because someone drew wolf characters with Native American tribal markings and jewellery and sort of like a spirit animal style,

yet one of the same people (who was also an artist) had a tribal pic of a wolf (also spirit animal style n such) they drew on their own profile, they also liked and favourited many other designs of a similar nature :/

Like bro, double standard much?

*Edit* also they don't stop there, they also tend to go after anyone who follows or commissions the artist that they're trying to cancel

@empanadas Why would you be cancelled for liking anime? Anime is for everyone 😬

@empanadas Yeah, I'm half Irish and the amount of Celtic Culture I see these (non Irish) people ripping off is hilarious

Like, its not fine to draw Asian dragons, but Celtic dragons are fine?


(I do like to share my culture tho, I just don't like double standards)

@JupiterDreams i make money off of anime because of my youtube channel. I also started a webcomic that is anime styled. so certain people who aren't Asian tried to cancel me based on the fact that im not Asian and i love anime

@empanadas 20 bucks says at least half of these people who're trying to cancel you have anime profile pics...
am I right? 😂

@Fishy yeah exactly. most of fantasy genres are based on an ethic group's mythologies. why is it okay to rip off celtic, norse and greek/roman mythologies but get really touchy when it comes to Egypt or Asia. it makes no sense to me

@Fishy yes,🤣 with usernames like young samurai when you click on their videos... it's some pasty white kid or some nerdy black dude.
