What do you think of Cancel Culture?

lmao only responses so far are from non-alphas.

But why don't I add to the chaos, I think people are free to ignore or boycott whomever or whatever they want for any reason. I think calls for others to boycott on social media is a little harder to accept. I think pushing to get someone fired from their job because they believe or said things you don't like is a step too far and a little disgusting, but even this can have exceptions.

So idk what to believe and it really doesn't matter because I'm not alpha lol. I want to hear from them too.

Even if those reasons are false and based on deception?

I think it gives covert narcissists — which tend to be at the forefront of social media (since they are more motivated to gain the validation from it) — too much power. Covert narcs tend to manipulate to weaponize groups in that way.

Yeah, I'm not sure where the line would be in each situation. But I can't really support forcing people to consume media or products that they don't want. I think there should be processes that discourage coordinating efforts to create animosity against people and companies on social media though. But even then I don't know how this could be properly policed without the potential for abuse.

I think Cancel Culture pertains more to shaming/condemning others who listen to/support media they do want, tbh. If people simply didn't want them, they just wouldn't be popular or well known anyway.
