Unpopular opinion about cancel culture

[BiggerBoss]

This is something that's been on my mind ever since we've seen the results of things like the #metoo movement.

Cancel Culture, for the few good things it has done as far as exposing unrepentant manipulative monsters, has also done alot of harm in going way too far with allegations that are either trivial or sometimes not even true. Also personally, I'm just as tired of people acting like they're smug and better than other people when they see that someone was outed for doing something horrible or disgusting. It makes me think that it's not about being a seeker of moral justice, but just feeling better about yourself and patting yourself on the back after seeing someone's comeuppance. I also feel like, regardless of whether the person truly deserves it or not: Cancel Culture can be mentally taxing and cause more harm than anything the alleged person has done to a victim. Mainly because they have to be reminded of it everyday when just trying to browse the internet or go on the street. It's especially unfair for the few people out there who are genuinely apologetic and want to become better people.

I don't know if I'm alone in feeling this way, but I'm personally just sick of it from all angles. I don't defend the people who have done truly horrible and manipulative things, but at the same time I think the internet and human beings are incredibly unforgiving and negative. There's way too many examples of how even the smallest thing has ruined someone's life as far as the cancel culture lynch mob, but as far as like...the people who were proven innocent or is not a big deal: I'd probably turn to the case of Justine Sacco and Projared most of all if you wanna look into them. I personally try to be positive and think that when someone is held accountable, you want to rehabilitate them for their crimes, such as people like Bill Cosby or Harvey Weinstein. Even then though, I always feel like constantly putting them down doesn't make us any better people. But i get it, some people are beyond hope. Again I'm just sick of negativity from both sides.

Cancel culture has become nothing more than a witch hunt. You can hold people accountable without being a smug jerk trying to gain clout. Instead try to be better and show that you're someone who wants true morals and justice.

Sorry if this was a long rant, I needed to get that off my chest. I hope people actually read this. I know most people will say "TL;DR". But this is important.

Cancel culture activists are trying to re-brand it as consequence culture. Fine ok who determines the consequences? Some far fringe weirdo on twitter who you wouldn't leave your kids with for a single second. Pass on that.. It's like watching cultist amateur hour. Ok non gendered non binary non lads we got them with "consequence culture" woo hoo. Dumbasses lol.

Two shots to the back of the head and they will report the thread's death as a suicide.

Cancel culture is only a problem if you care about it.

Man, talk about irony.

First world problems and mob mentality that only zoomers engage in out of boredom of having their life made by their parents. They create these problems inside of their head and want everyone else to play along

I could only wish that someone tried to cancel me at work. Oh wait, that actually happened a couple of times, and the mockery I immediately displayed to anyone who would listen, put an immediate stop to that silliness.

When someone is trying to cancel you, anywhere, running it into the ground to everyone via mockery, has a sobering effect on the attempted agents of cancellation.

imagine havin' a friend group from high school, guy #1, guy#2, guy#3, guy#4, and guy#5 (yer guy #0)

now imagine, four years later, someone from yer class in high school messages ya on facebook 'bout how guy number #5 was actually a racist, though ya never knew of this. after fillin' ya in, the person contactin' ya says ya disgust them, and that they hate yer guts for bein' friends with such a horrible person. then they tell everyone from yer high school class and they all cut contact with ya.

ain't it funny?

Adding more comments only delays the response.

Don't worry about that Joe Blow From Kokomo Juan but not forgotten, I've got a control group going concurrently.

This is a controlled experiment.

Oh, don't mind my stutter btw. I didn't mean to insinuate anything by accidentally stuttering and misspeaking by calling you juan but not forgotten after you informed me of my thread on kiwi farms only to then start a personal crusade against me after telling me on my profile in a comment you promptly deleted that by exposing Kiwi Farms to the world I had done "the worst thing imaginable."

I'm sure the similarities are coincidental. I would never accuse black of being Juan but not forgotten in a 4d chess move.

Who am I? The great manipulator? Please. Curb your lofty expectations.

You shouldn't be so quick to take my monologues as anything other than opaque attempts at misdirection.

Especially considering I'm the type of person who makes claims like these years in advance during the time I was still being banned by Steam's communist moderators for pushing back against the leftist propaganda being hosted on the steam news page during an election year.

Those claims being "I'm not afraid to take a blow for the team if I can turn it around."

Quite clearly I'm only taking Ls here. No wins in sight.

At all.

Don't believe your lying eyes. Believe in me who believes in you.

What am i reading.. Why are you people dedicating your lives to things like these. Nevermind, I don't want to be part of it.

Oh, posting alt-right stuff, yeah count me out.

Obviously because cancel culture is politically motivated witch trials in the information age. And any decent human being is opposed to witch hunts.

Nah, I have no social media and I'm doing pretty well in med. school. I have never been "cancelled" so far and I just behave properly.

Since I moved out of the States my life has turned not only a new leaf, but a whole forest. Life is so much better and people are A LOT friendlier here. "political" BS all day is so unhealthy..

[Mythical Ostrich]

I think anyone with a functioning brain would agree that cancel culture is bad.

Bit of a non-sequitur but good for you. It's always nice to hear a success story.

I'm not an alt-righter though so if you could rerfrain from the libel that'd sure be swell.

You referred to an alt-right website. You don't get to see these usually unless you move in these circles unless this got sent to you. Apologies if this isn't the case.

Define alt-right website.

Dumb crybaby stuff. Reactionary, mostly hateful & emotional not much factual analysis. You know, junk media.
