Is Cancel Culture Real?

article image placeholderUploaded by @GlennPriceMann
And some of the biggest people complaining about cancer culture are people who just don't want any pushback, who don't want any criticism. That's my opinion. Those are my thoughts. But I want to know, what do you think? Is cancel culture real culture real? Or is it just sort of hype?

Some thoughts and questions on cancel culture? #AskSwell

But the problem with cancel culture is they pick and choose and decide which behaviors are inappropriate. There is so much perversion that's happening online that never seems to get canceled. But the minute that somebody has a dissenting opinion about something that the majority culture does not like, then suddenly everybody's got to get canceled. And so that's why I don't give credence to stuff like that. I mean, my thing is, if God placed me here, you can't cancel me

Hey, thank you for listening, for sharing your thoughts. I think you brought up a really good point about, okay, well, who decides who's going to be canceled? And it really is based on sort of whims, it seems like, okay, because of this particular point in the zeitgeist, this particular thing, people might be more sensitive at this time about a particular issue

I think it's a very interesting part of this topic, and I think it's the one that sometimes makes you really roll your eyes because you're like, okay, what can we do? It's been 200 years or 500 years, whatever. And it's important to know all the history, and I think we should be aware of all the history, but I think if someone has accomplish remarkable things that had a huge impact on world history or American history or whatever, history is important

They act like, oh, they've never said anything or made a mistake. And because you're in the public eye, oh, my God. Well, I'm just going to cancel you. We're going to rally behind. We're going to all rally together, and we're just going to try to cancel you as if you're perfect. Nobody's perfect. You know what I mean? And I don't know

Hey, thanks for listening for joining the conversation. I think you make some really great points about popularity and how that plays a role in what who gets canceled, who will not get canceled, and sort of how that all plays out. And sort of the Coles someone have a lot of goodwill already, so they have a lot more leeway and someone who may, for whatever reason, doesn't. So they automatically sort of like, bad this or sort of should face some sort of penalty

Hello. Thank you for listening and for joining the conversation. I will respectfully disagree with the fascism comparison, because, number one, I think the definition of cancel culture real sort of depends on where people stand on the political spectrum. And there's been a lot of people who have been supposedly canceled, who have benefited from it, either GoFundMes or media appearances in certain circles, or of people whose careers seem to have gotten bigger even though they've been supposedly canceled
