I kind of feel like cancel culture minimizes the issue by allowing people to talk not effect while completely skirting around the cause.
Saying was he was removed due to public backlash due to history of sexist behavior, and discrimination is much hard to defend then the reductive was cancelled.
EDIT
The recent Suess books case is kind of a prime example of this. Since cancelled doesn't have a strict definition saying the books were cancelled arguably not entirely wrong. But misses the who, what, & why of it. (e.g the publisher stopped printing select low selling books that included offensive outdated stereotypes)
- gorjusborg 6y agoThat's a fair point, and I think I agree. My stance was that 'cancel culture' as a term seems most often used to decry the use of the power of mob rule online. I think the criticism is fair, and we should be able to discuss the effects of such a dynamic. I have also seen what I think you are describing, which is a sweeping under the rug of real issues underlying such an outcry, by dismissing it as 'just cancel culture'.
