Very little of "cancel culture"has you do with being "welcome anywhere by default." The problem with cancel culture is the punishment outweighs the "crime." Some people who have been "cancelled" (cancelled meaning they lost their job, or a gig, or something similar) a guy sitting in a company vehicle, cracking his knuckles. A drink singer talking to his best friend in an empty alley in the middle of the night. Other people who have said something on social media (now, or ten years ago)
- nerdix 3y agoI'm not sure about the specific examples mentioned. But there used to be an adage about mixing religion and politics with business. That adage exists because there has always been the risk of ostracization when sharing political and religious opinions publicly. Contrary to popular belief, that is not some new phenomenon. It's just that social media made it more likely that someone will see your political opinions (thus increasing the chances of ostracization..you are broadcasting your opinions to the world after all) and made the consequences more visible (so you hear about that guy that was fired for saying the wrong thing today whereas 30 years ago you would not have).
- threatofrain 3y agoI think the disagreement is on whether something even deserves to be considered a moral crime, and not whether the punishment fits any crime.
