“Cancel culture” is about people losing their jobs and being censored from platforms like Twitter for making arguments or jokes that rub the politically powerful the wrong way. Again, it’s the active removal of the practical ability of expression that rational adults are concerned with, not the fact that others have contrary opinions to them. Again, you are exposing your ignorance.
- emodendroket 4y agoThis is something you could only claim to believe if you paid no attention to the way people actually use the term.
- LMYahooTFY 4y agoThis is a very lame dismissal, which I'll just respond to similarly: "Cancel culture" very clearly had crowds of people demanding someone lose money/access to a job/platform. Perhaps we're just in different bubbles that don't overlap.
- emodendroket 4y agoBeing "lame" doesn't make it untrue. People use the term to refer to "shaming" (i.e., vocally disagreeing with) celebrities for their political stances, or refusing to patronize businesses that take political stances, for instance.
