Cancel culture does not exist
It is a stupid f***ing term people used for those who got their ass canned for justifiable reasons. Some got held accountable for their actions while others didn't, that's not getting cancelled

I think it is not just about people who did wrong. It's about when products of past times get erased or even scrutinized, from what I can see.

"Cancel culture" is basically just a catchier way of saying, "How dare people give any kind of blowback for anything? Don't they know they're supposed to just shut up and let people do and say whatever they want without any consequences whatsoever!"

Isn’t that just changing with the times and reminding ourselves of how we used to be and learning from it? And 99% of the time, said item isn’t as much “erased” as not available in certain places? If that’s “Cancel Culture” (and no, I’m not taking a definition from Webster’s dictionary seriously), then we as humans have been doing that for years.

I don't like cancel culture, but I'm a big fan of accountability culture.

Let me sidestep where this debate is and explain my take on it:
- I’m not at all happy about Ellen getting sick, and I really want to see her recover and be healthy.
- Still, that doesn’t mean I support how the staff of her show were mistreated and their concerns neglected. She had a big chunk of responsibility there, and she dropped the ball. Of course something like that is going to sour your image with the public and the rest of Hollywood.
- However, that does *not* mean I’m never going to enjoy anything Ellen was involved with again. I’m still gonna pop in the Nemo/Dory movies and laugh/cry at them, just like before.
We shoud not be having so much trouble balancing the idea that someone is a lousy boss, but it’s still unfortunate they’ve fallen ill.

Cancel Culture is literally just
Only you internalise that you did nothing wrong and it's everyone elses fault

Additionally, this feels like a weird tangent for us to even be on. Like, did people ACTUALLY revel in her getting Covid, or are we just shadow boxing with hypothetical schadenfreude?

I'd very much say the latter because I don't think I've seen that online. Unless I'm not following total scumbags to which that makes me glad.

Probably on Twitter, but that's a cesspool that revels in the worst of humanity every time, so I don't know why anyone would rake that seriously.

Imo, Cancel Culture does exist. It’s just that some people do deserve it, while others don’t.

Cancel Culture is a term thrown about by people who've said or done shitty things to others that don't want to suffer any repercussions for doing so, it's 'SJW' for a new decade.

Or people who don't want to see their entertainments "neutered" and not just like it was in the Nineties and back. I admit I like classic reruns to keep their original form as much as possible, but...

The term itself and others pertaining to similar ideas - their effect and scope get overblown to extremes by people who tend to be in the firing line or adjacent and sympathetic to it, eventually then something that already existed gets a new name, parroted snd repeated like it's come into law and then any real kind of change or thought that could come from it is de-legitimized and argues about endlessly.
Ellen's rich enough to not need any sympathy and she's got a lot of powerful, awful human beings friends, she's probably fine. She'll stay loaded, the show'll stay on the air, not a second of it'll matter in the eventual recorded history of the world. Misanthropic rich person dances in bad sneakers for 14 years. None of it's important.

I'll believe that Cancel Culture exists when literal paedophiles, rapists, and racists stop making more money weekly than I will my whole life by pretend fighting.
