the thing that's so funny to me is that she's super stressed out about being cancelled and i bet none of the students care about any of it and are just watching her have a meltdown
Comedy about political correctness normally comes across as _ignorant and belittling,_ but this is the best comedic performance that I've seen on the topic by far *hands down.*
@@hazy6932 Oh yeah, so silly to be scared of someone stirring up an internet mob to remove you from your job and destroy your life to the best of their ability.

@@Alexrider02 and no, you did miss the point, because my comment has nothing to do with that. I said that this joke was unique and didn't belittle the response to the power structure that exists, unlike OTHER jokes. Your comment is trying to justify the OTHER jokes...
One of my teachers would say "I'm not being racist or anything" "I'm not being sexist or anything" then say something that wasn't even offensive. I feel so bad for her😭
My brother does this as a joke. "I'm not being racist or anything, but I don't like mash potato." "How's that racist?" "Didn't you hear me I said I wasn't being racist."
hey folks! it's Cameron, the performer in the vid. Am I cancelled?! Check out my channel for more vids, or follow me on Insta: instagram.com/CameraMcCall/
For literally anyone who messes up pronouns accidentally: step one) don't pretend you didn't do it step two) say "oh, sorry" and correct yourself step three) move on and try not to do it in the future don't panic. you're not cancelled for an accident. its a learning curve, especially if you were close to the person before they changed their pronouns. so long as you're trying to be respectful by the other person you're good.
though one might also consider saying "thank you" when corrected rather than "sorry" so that the person you are talking to does not feel forced to say "it's ok", when sometimes it may not be
@@MnemosyneBreeze Look at the toxic wasteland that is twitter. In proportion to the stupid shit that is put on there every minute, a fraction of the people behind the tweets get cancelled. Getting cancelled is astronomically unlikely, especially if you have a habit of treating other people with a little bit of kindness and respect. People on twitter are angry all the time though, so you'll definitely have a bad time there regardless.
I personally don't feel that people need to say thank you/sorry. Simply correcting yourself is an indication that you are paying attention and respecting someone's pronouns.
@@Realisticallyliteral oh, well yeah, a little "oop" and self-correction works too. we just meant if you were corrected by Another. i also second what cat tricks said. that's kinda the point of the video. this teacher isn't important enough to get cancelled. plus... she corrects herself and doesn't continue being horrible (albeit in a comedic manner), which is usually the thing that Gets people cancelled - like projared, or jontron, or pewdiepie, or... people like to act like progressives/"sjws" are all mindless anger beasts when, as someone who hangs around em all the time... that is simply untrue. i mean, don't get me wrong - not all of us are perfect, especially the younger ones who think getting mad at everyone is better than picking your battles and approaching things with kindness first (i used to be like that), but like... largely untrue, and just another harmful stereotype. the mcelroys made plenty of mistakes... everyone still loves them. ESPECIALLY the sjw types, i find... apologies for the long comment, but i felt it needed to be said
Literally every time I hear someone say "cancel culture" I just want them to define it. It's like, okay, so are you talking about internet harassment? Are you talking about boycotting? People try to lump various interconnected but often distinct phenomena into one problem, label it as a social-justice thing, and then talk about it as if it's the biggest problem society faces today.
Lmaoo as a nonbinary student I have never related more to an offscreen imaginary character. Alex I FEEL UR PAIN, there are few experiences more terrifying than having to sit through a cis person profusely apologizing for not using your “preferred” pronoun, ending up having to apologize to them instead, in front of a class full of dead-quiet and probably transphobic students no less.
It's always the extremes that make progress such a hassle, things would be a lot better if everyone just accepted these things as normal instead of making a big deal about it. You're not binary, cool. I respect it like everyone should and if I make a mistake I shouldn't be groveling. But as a cis gendered man I can very much relate to the character of the teacher with the fear of someone (esp teenagers) overreacting from a mistake. So I appreciate there are people like yourself that could understand people making mistakes in terminology and don't desire a long drawn out apology. And I'm sorry you have to be sorrounded by transphobes. So, am I canceled?
As a black girl I was CONSTANTLY mistaken for other black girls in class. They would look nothing like me-different hair styles, different height, fundamentally different facial features 😭 and we’d be like the only black students in the room. When teachers did it I would brush it off, mostly because they are authority figures and I didn’t feel like starting any drama with them but also because it usually was a genuine mistake and would fumble and correct themselves like I’m the skit lmao. Still bothersome because it would literally happen after months of speaking in class and talking one-on-one with them 🙄 when other students did it that’s when I’d usually have to correct them. Always was white teachers and white students too 😂
It's really interesting to me how that happens. That people so often mix up or compare people that don't look really that similar. I mean, I'm as white as they come and live in Sweden but I still mix up most of the blonde blue-eyed girls I know. I wonder if it's because our visual memory hinges on specific features and sometimes they're common ones?
Luke I actually majored in psychology and took mostly classes centered around cognitive psychology, sensation and perception, and bias and prejudice. So it’s really a layered thing when it comes to people of color. On one hand our brains naturally use heuristics to find short cuts and condense all the information we are taking in at every second. This doesn’t always work perfectly of course and this leads to mistakes in our perception and ability to identify objects and people accurately sometimes. When you start to think about how race and gender intersect you find that women and especially black women are often not paid attention to. Why? Because when most of society thinks of a leader, boss, or authority figure/someone worth noticing we still choose men as the default (not everyone in the world obviously but from a statistical point of view the large majority of people associate these words and qualities with men or being masculine). Black women were found in a research study to not fit the prototype for “Black” nor the prototype for “women”. This essentially means we as a group are also easily looked over or “invisible”. On top of heavy racial stereotypes that are mostly negative regarding black women we just seem not to stand out in people’s memories (because to know someone from another you’d have to remember them which you can’t do if you don’t find them significant, dont think highly of them, or are always condescending them within the same “image” of others who share the same skin tone). So yes some times it’s slip of the tongue but others times as you said so much stock is put into only focusing on one feature (because our brains want it to be easy or because of prejudice you see skin tone as most important when making judgements). And when this is done you base judgements off that feature. If stereotypes, which we all use, tell you that person isn’t very significant or worth remembering than likely you won’t - unless you make some conscious effort to, like we do with our friends and family (and teachers should be doing with the students they teach). So if you see a group of blonde girls and you just think of them as “the girls with blonde hair” it might take you awhile remember other distinguishing features about each of them like who had freckles, who’s taller, who is left handed or which one owns a dog. Which is what it feels like to most black women when we are misidentified, like the only thing the person saw when they looked at was “a black woman” and all other parts of who we are were not seen as being important because being black gave them all the information needed to know about how to interact with us-which based on stereotypes has negative implications. And this becomes more disheartening when you have interacted with the person on multiple occasions to the extent they should notice things about you that help them not misidentify you 😅 Hope all that makes sense!
@@Jamieisastar This was so interesting and informative, thank you! I'm fascinated by psychology so random TH-cam comment lessons are appreciated. So, am I correct in understanding that when you're basically diminished down to "the black woman" it is focusing on one of the less personal parts of you and disregards a lot of your identity perhaps in favour of adopting negative stereotypes in the process? If I'm wrong do let me know, just trying to make sure I at least kind of understand.
Luke I loooove Psychology! All my classes were so interesting and challenging. And yes, that is certainly a valid implication to draw! And this is why black women and people of color in general may take offense regardless of the intentions the person might have. And though at times these connections we make about others and how we perceive them are automatic and not fully in our conscious control, other times as you suggested people will favor believing the negative stereotypes which leads to harmful prejudice and discrimination. The stereotype then becomes a justification for those beliefs and actions that are used to oppress or mistreat others. Within the realms of education, teachers may believe that because a student is a minority they aren’t going to do well in class and will be more difficult (there’s tons of research in this so feel free to look it up for more detail). In turn, the students ability to achieve academically is stunted and they end up fulfilling the stereotype which was placed onto them! This leads to other large issues like less women in STEAM and the “school to prison pipeline” for black students.
@@Jamieisastar again, thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. It's rare to find helpful people on the internet. I'll definitely look into those studies. Have a nice day :^)
I think the laughs are on this because it's so relatable. I believe in treating people with respect, but I'm not from an area or a family where you get educated about these things automatically. I have had to learn bit by bit what is appropriate. And in the back of my mind I'm still always a little nervous i'm gonna fuck up in some way i was just never educated in, and before i get the chance to learn any better i'll be treated so harshly i never get another chance to prove my true intentions. I imagine others feel the same way.
That harshness we get treated with when we make mistakes comes from individuals facing that same mistake from other people hundreds of times over. They're like little paper cuts, but all over the body. The best we can do is to remember that, and know that we will do everything we can not to make another paper cut in the future.
I think that that's normal for people who care about other people. You don't want to do any harm, and even the thought of accidentally doing harm or being mistaken for having done harm is frightening and stressful. And yeah, when social justice works, the people who deserve it face consequences, and consequences are a frightening thing, even if they're deserved. But it's good to remember that most people act in good faith most of the time, so when you screw up (because everybody does about something at some point in life), the most likely thing is that other people will understand, and if you've done harm then they may expect you to take steps to rectify that harm, and to reduce your chances of doing that harm again in future, but they'll give you a chance to do those things and won't be looking for a reason to hate you or put undeserved consequences on you. Because most people are like you in that they don't want to hurt others, and undeserved consequences do hurt others, so they won't want to put you through anything unless they have no other choice.
@@UrMumsFavoriteBoyToy Let's see where we were... ok very deep in White history. Good. Yes, let's proceed. Edit: Not that White history is better than other history, obviously 😬😬
as a trans person one of the best ways to be a good ally is to not apologize more than necessary (just a single “sorry” is enough!) if you accidentally misgender someone and especially if it’s someone you’re close to, allow them to feel upset at you instead of kinda “forcing” them to forgive you. the overwhelming majority of us that actually do go by our correct pronouns irl completely understand that it can be hard to adjust :)
Orrin Konheim I think it depends. Like you shouldn’t support an artist or creator who molests kids or beats their spouse. Max Landis is a writer who got cancelled because he was sexually assaulting women. He never even denied doing it. I think some things that are genuine mistakes shouldn’t cancel a person. But people who are genuinely vile and terrible and don’t give af about shouldn’t be supported by the public at large imo
@@WTKB82 I think the act of cancelling says a lot of who you are though. I assume the justice system takes care of ppl who do bad things and if not I push for the justice system to be fairer than to take it out on every person who got through the cracks. I think we all draw our own lines. I don't support pressuring other people to aid in enforcing your own line. I can separate art from people better than others but I also rely on legal judgements
@@okonh0wp "I assume the justice system takes care of ppl who do bad things" god, if only. there are so very, very, _very_ many people who it does not take care of; that it's even notorious for _not_ taking care of. be careful relying on legal judgements, pretty much every legal system is untrustworthy in a lot of ways, from flaws to outright corruption, not least of all because a great many laws are built on injustice to begin with. you need to take that into account when considering any official judgements like that. and i wouldn't describe no longer supporting someone you know to be a terrible person as "taking it out on" them. i think it's fair not to support someone who got away with, say, molesting children, or who is openly, unapologetically racist.
@@WTKB82 Large media figures who have a history of messing up should be deplatformed. "Cancel culture" usually implies complete ostricization, usually of much less powerful individuals.
Orrin Konheim i thought I replied to this earlier but apparently it didn’t show up but basically I said, some people deserve to be cancelled. Being a public figure and doing things that harm the public like being racist or a rapist or something is not a good look. If u support people like that that’s ur choice but I don’t think it’s wrong for people to say they won’t. Cancelling people for stupid or minor mistakes like misendering someone should be cancelled. But for big stuff like being a spousal abuser, racist, or someone that hurts kids, they shouldn’t be celebrated by the public
if they're making mistakes, hopefully they'll learn and get better. if they're doing it deliberately, fuck them! you deserve better, and i sincerely hope you find it in the future.
I was very lucky that most of my teacher's go it immediately but I have a few teachers and classmates who still mess up. But it's almost never on purpose and the only thing for it is really to correct them, be patient and try to focus on the people who don't mess up because you can drive yourself insane stressing over that stuff. (Which is why I'm not holding my breath over my parents calling me son any time soon). It'll work out, somehow.
im not out but i use a nickname that's more gender neutral than my deadname and it astounds me how many people (usually classmates) dont respect it when i obviously heavily prefer to be called the nickname :/ gets ridiculous
My family is comprised of Mother, Father, Son, Daughter (me), and pet dog. Both my parents have called me by my dog's name multiple times without realizing the mistake. Lmao
im nonbinary & alex... alex i feel you immensely. the secondhand PAIN oh my god!!!! also i love the cloak/cape thing that shes wearing its so cute i want it,,
Its talking about cancel culture. Where groups of people will implore others to ostracize individuals who make mistakes and get their careers to end. aka Cancel them
@@khhnatorsorry it took me so long to reply. Typically its because the main people who are behind the cancelling misconstrue the mistake to make it seem like the person was being intentionally rude or cruel, so they can rally people against them.
@@khhnator Sometimes it's necessary. If a public figure says/does something extremely bigoted or otherwise cruel - especially repeatedly - then they deserve to be de-platformed.
@@AP-uj2fg Sometimes (often) action is truly necessary, however cancel culture is mob mentality, it is reactionary, and it doesn't give either side of the discussion a thorough platform to defend and accuse. I think there is a difference between public outcry, protests etc and cancel culture. But if anyone reading this disagrees, please tell me. This is an interesting question. I am aware that as a side effect of arguing against cancel culture is might seem like I am arguing to uphold a system which is itself unbalanced, but I'm not. What I'm not sure about is if my condemning established systemic problems should out-way my concerns about encouraging cancel culture. For now I think that since cancel culture is based on individuals and is reactionary it is misdirected? Thoughts? I am very interested to read agreements or disagreements! (If you all have the time.)

Nope! That's absolute queen Elena Skopetos. We're just both thick and problematic :P. We're also both "she". But you are still cancelled, sry
Cameron McCall I think you’re both queens but thank you I’ve never been happier to be cancelled.
Cameron McCall
Hey um can we please get back to the lesson?
@@UrMumsFavoriteBoyToy Let's see where we were... ok very deep in White history. Good. Yes, let's proceed.
Edit: Not that White history is better than other history, obviously 😬😬
Cameron McCall
You’re canceled
Possibly every celebrity ever right now:
Lmao this is so relevant people on Twitter need to see this
sublime.
This is like an Office character I’m so uncomfortable 😆
as a trans person one of the best ways to be a good ally is to not apologize more than necessary (just a single “sorry” is enough!) if you accidentally misgender someone and especially if it’s someone you’re close to, allow them to feel upset at you instead of kinda “forcing” them to forgive you. the overwhelming majority of us that actually do go by our correct pronouns irl completely understand that it can be hard to adjust :)
Half the time I misgender myself which is awkward.
wow i *wish* teachers actually would correct themselves or at least respect students when they use the wrong pronouns
Ngl I feel like your teachers are just insensitive
Don't forget how many students each teacher has to interact with daily, though; maybe that's why they get it wrong.
Most university now have policy against that sort of stuff.
Yeah, cancel culture is cruel, hope we get over it soon.
Orrin Konheim I think it depends. Like you shouldn’t support an artist or creator who molests kids or beats their spouse. Max Landis is a writer who got cancelled because he was sexually assaulting women. He never even denied doing it.
I think some things that are genuine mistakes shouldn’t cancel a person. But people who are genuinely vile and terrible and don’t give af about shouldn’t be supported by the public at large imo
@@WTKB82 I think the act of cancelling says a lot of who you are though. I assume the justice system takes care of ppl who do bad things and if not I push for the justice system to be fairer than to take it out on every person who got through the cracks. I think we all draw our own lines. I don't support pressuring other people to aid in enforcing your own line. I can separate art from people better than others but I also rely on legal judgements
@@okonh0wp "I assume the justice system takes care of ppl who do bad things"
god, if only. there are so very, very, _very_ many people who it does not take care of; that it's even notorious for _not_ taking care of. be careful relying on legal judgements, pretty much every legal system is untrustworthy in a lot of ways, from flaws to outright corruption, not least of all because a great many laws are built on injustice to begin with. you need to take that into account when considering any official judgements like that.
and i wouldn't describe no longer supporting someone you know to be a terrible person as "taking it out on" them. i think it's fair not to support someone who got away with, say, molesting children, or who is openly, unapologetically racist.
@@WTKB82 Large media figures who have a history of messing up should be deplatformed. "Cancel culture" usually implies complete ostricization, usually of much less powerful individuals.
Orrin Konheim i thought I replied to this earlier but apparently it didn’t show up but basically I said, some people deserve to be cancelled. Being a public figure and doing things that harm the public like being racist or a rapist or something is not a good look. If u support people like that that’s ur choice but I don’t think it’s wrong for people to say they won’t.
Cancelling people for stupid or minor mistakes like misendering someone should be cancelled. But for big stuff like being a spousal abuser, racist, or someone that hurts kids, they shouldn’t be celebrated by the public
I can relate to Alex because I go by they/them and my teachers always say she even though they know my pronouns
if they're making mistakes, hopefully they'll learn and get better. if they're doing it deliberately, fuck them! you deserve better, and i sincerely hope you find it in the future.
I feel that as a trans guy
I was very lucky that most of my teacher's go it immediately but I have a few teachers and classmates who still mess up. But it's almost never on purpose and the only thing for it is really to correct them, be patient and try to focus on the people who don't mess up because you can drive yourself insane stressing over that stuff. (Which is why I'm not holding my breath over my parents calling me son any time soon). It'll work out, somehow.
im not out but i use a nickname that's more gender neutral than my deadname and it astounds me how many people (usually classmates) dont respect it when i obviously heavily prefer to be called the nickname :/ gets ridiculous
Magnificent. Bravo, Cameron.
Us enbys began apologizing to the screen uncomfortably
I should cancel my mother... before she ever gets my name I get called every other family members.
My family is comprised of Mother, Father, Son, Daughter (me), and pet dog. Both my parents have called me by my dog's name multiple times without realizing the mistake. Lmao
im nonbinary & alex... alex i feel you immensely. the secondhand PAIN oh my god!!!! also i love the cloak/cape thing that shes wearing its so cute i want it,,
I am enby and people either get extremely defensive or extremely sorry when I correct them aha
It's chill, my friend. It's chill
Brilliant
i could barely even laugh this is just too reallll
So brilliant.
i fucking love this, thank you so much
As an enby named Alex all I gotta say is:
Ya basically
The hype behind parasite hangs in the same realm as the bigotry of low expectations.
This was hilarious omg
okay i have no idea of anything that is being talk about here... i guess i'm officialy not in it anymore?
Its talking about cancel culture. Where groups of people will implore others to ostracize individuals who make mistakes and get their careers to end. aka Cancel them
@@artwert1243 why would anyone ever befriend/follow/something someone like that?
@@khhnatorsorry it took me so long to reply.
Typically its because the main people who are behind the cancelling misconstrue the mistake to make it seem like the person was being intentionally rude or cruel, so they can rally people against them.
@@khhnator Sometimes it's necessary. If a public figure says/does something extremely bigoted or otherwise cruel - especially repeatedly - then they deserve to be de-platformed.
@@AP-uj2fg Sometimes (often) action is truly necessary, however cancel culture is mob mentality, it is reactionary, and it doesn't give either side of the discussion a thorough platform to defend and accuse. I think there is a difference between public outcry, protests etc and cancel culture. But if anyone reading this disagrees, please tell me. This is an interesting question. I am aware that as a side effect of arguing against cancel culture is might seem like I am arguing to uphold a system which is itself unbalanced, but I'm not. What I'm not sure about is if my condemning established systemic problems should out-way my concerns about encouraging cancel culture. For now I think that since cancel culture is based on individuals and is reactionary it is misdirected? Thoughts? I am very interested to read agreements or disagreements! (If you all have the time.)
AMAZING
OMG. amazing
This is great
This comment section causes me physical pain y'all are so annoying
..Like..how though? All I see are people saying they’ve had similar experiences, lol.
@@cai3886 I mean there are a few assholes but for the most part I agree with you
I love that so much
Yeah this is exactly how I feel on a daily basis
you feel like a comedic skit?
@@lispy5174 Yes. I feel like my body is not made of skin and bone. But comedy
@@sophiatroanska1432 You must be funny (or not, not all jokes are funny and that’s okay.)
@@lispy5174 I really don’t know what you mean by this comment. I wasn’t trying to say I’m funny. I was being sarcastic because, obviously, I related to the content in the skit that was a reflection of real life events. Not the comedy skit itself.
Holy shit I think I have that wig.
Did she use a Taylor swift song at the end. Cancelled
When reality is more absurd than comedy it's a sign the we should go back
This reminds me of the map of Israel 🇮🇱 scene in The West Wing
ME HEE HEE
This would be funny if it werent so true.
firghst
Yeah, this is about right for our new walking-on-eggshells culture. This is why all the other countries are making fun of us.
This but unironically
Welp.. this is the utopia that Liberals fight for...
Great sketch. :3
Just the SJWs
This sketch is literally making fun of people like you lmfao
@@AP-uj2fg Havent been in touch with what the woke/sjw mobs are doing have you? They are quite literaly doing this. lol get real. Google Gina Carano if you dont believe me. Thats just one of many examples.
@@Knlght0fZero Dude, I'm literally a leftist. And I'm *also* making fun of you.
@@Knlght0fZeroyeah she lost her job as cara dune after making offensive tweets some which were anti-semitic. thats not the “sjw mob” that’s her employer, disney , deciding to fire her to stop her from messing with the image of their company. unlike the past, disney is actually trying to distance themselves from anti-semitism lol
