You can treat it like an “emblem of cancel culture” and if you’re right.
It’s also an emblem for “people doing things other people don’t like and getting ditched for it” but which emblem you choose to see is up to you.
That’s kind of the power and the weakness of emblems.
- irrational 7y agoI see it as emblematic of weak people who don't want to ever be exposed to anything disagreeable. Why can't the whole world be sunshine and unicorns?
- jerf 7y agoThere is, I think, a fairly sharp line between you deciding you don't want to interact with someone in some particular forum, and someone else deciding you can't interact with someone. That line is not the line between "good" and "bad", necessarily. I'm just saying it's a relevant difference that shouldn't be blurred away.
- cheez 7y agoI'm sorry but I don't see any dichotomy in the two situations you've described. Cancel culture is literally people getting ditched because some people didn't like what some people did. That is, sticks and stones may break my bones but words are terrorism.
- erikpukinskis 7y agoI didn’t claim a dichotomy I said they’re both true.
