The best way to deal with cancel culture, is to ignore it. People weigh too much into others feelings. Stop caring and they'll eventually stop complaining

The cancel culture is like a manifistation of the novel "nineteen eighty-four", the cancellers being the thought police

People nowadays are just getting too soft and sensitive, and tend to take a lot of things way to serious.

If I got cancelled I don't care. I will still continue my career

Cancel culture is very bad. It makes people very close-minded which makes them to proud of themselves. It is making people to claim they are always right.

This is why, be careful on social media, do not always be influenced. Some people are not meant to copy or idolize. No need to block or cancel but choose to whom to pay attention more.

Cancel culture makes people hide their mistakes rather than own it and change their ways so it really doesn't help at all.
I find it Ridiculous that k-pop fans cancel their kpop idols for dating and having crushes like let's be real guys those celebs are people like you & me at the end of the day so what's so Wrong if they get attracted to someone ( who might not be you) & date them

I got canceled today
It was awful
I just said that snow is white

I say we let Cancel Culture grow to its ultimate form... the only way people will learn when they have no one else left to cancel but themselves... they will turn on each other. It's an addiction/rush for people to control the fates of others, they cannot help themselves. This is not about pushing for positive change... this is about yelling and shaming people to make you feel in control for times you were bullied for your interests/beliefs when you were growing up.

Im not sure what to say about cancel culture.On one hand its good to expose certain individuals, but on the other hand it got too far

How many people think cancel culture is a joke 🙋🏼‍♂️

[the_ikki]

Cancel culture is cringe, there are so many people on internet that get offended off all

[claudevieaul]

As a Caucasian heterosexual male approaching my sixties, apparently I can be blamed for *ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING* that went wrong with anyone of you readers.

Well anything extreme is bad doesn't matter if you support a ideology or not. What recent events shows that people supporting cancel culture are very extreme in their nature and doesn't have patience to fully understand the situation rationally. A very good example of this is Johnny depp and Amber Heard case, when it begun everyone jumped on the bandwagon to cancel Johnny Depp as a result he lost couple of his contacts and job but later on when the case was properly uncovered turns out it was Amber who was guilty, now how are people going to pay for the lost contracts and trauma that Johnny faced because of this cancel culture because of the people. What is most important is that Humans have very fine brain use that rationally, logically and patiently to understand the situation don't just fuck around like testosterone enraged cave man.

“Sticks and stones may break my bones but, words will cancel my life”

[oijosuke]

cancel culture cancels more people that has a different opinion than it ever cancels the evil doers

[CraftBeerTastic]

It's the modern-day equivalent of barbaric "tar and feathering" by a mob.

The cancel culture movement is pathetic and the people associated with it should look at themselves closely. The people involved need to be cancelled permanently.

[Leslee_Lane]

Most of these people "calling out" these famous people have absolutely no evidence. I am sure there are cases that are valid with evidence. My question is what happened to innocent until proven guilty. One angry persom can cry wolf, suddenly that entertainers career is over. Cancel Culture needs to stop!

Just watched this for understanding cancel culture and my algorithm brought me here.
