I think when people rail against cancel culture they’re actually railing against victimhood culture.
It’s clearer to me if framed that way, what’s being complained about.
Everyone angling to be framed as the victim or deprived unjustly.
- mountainriver 4y agoYeah this is well said, that’s really the distinction from the past. Yes we have always had a level of cancel culture but now we have victim culture on a whole new level
- yucky 4y agoI had never made that connection, but I think you're right. It really is the professional victimhood that grates on people.
- jfengel 4y agoWhich is ironic, since they're presenting themselves as the victims (of being "canceled").
- Ekaros 4y agoI can just ignore the victimhood culture. Worst possible humans can play around being victims all I care. I might dislike them and ignore what they say. What actually worries is the cancel culture of lunatic lynch mobs continuously attacking people contacting their employers and trying to get them fired. I think good solution for this is to mandate real names and identification details in such contacts and then make each and every communication public. Thus opening chance to at leas civilly prosecuted these monsters.
