This has always been a thing I've struggled with. Not getting into the politics of cancelling famous people that behave badly...I hate that something like JK Rowling's body of work, which I really liked, has taken such a turn, and within certain circles, admitting you like the original series...is a risky thing to do.
I like Dave Chapelle, seen him live twice, and consider him a fantastically intelligent person.
I think an underlying fault of our current situation is a lack of nuance, an inability to compromise, and a desire to weaponize differences of opinion.
- perrygeo 4y agoI'd say Dave Chapelle and JK Rowling have pissed people off based on their controversial public statements. Which is very different from actual physical harm; for example the actions of Kevin Spacey, Harvey Weinstein, Donald Trump, and Bill Cosby. What is "controversial" vs "harmful"? Obviously there is a thin line here. But most of these people are being lumped into the same "cancelled" bucket. It depends on which online community you ask. Has an actual crime been committed? That's a good starting point for nuance.
