Cancel culture can be traced back to Ancient Greece. Although, they did things quite differently than we do today. One problem with modern day cancel culture is that in a criminal justice system, the crime usually matches the punishment. But I don't know if we can say the same for people being cancelled today. The second problem comes from our human psychology. In order for us to grow, we need to be allowed to make mistakes and learn from them. But does cancel culture allow us to do that? The last issue with cancel culture is that humans have the tendency to follow "mob mentality". When a group of people believe one thing, chances are, you'll believe it too without actually researching for yourself. Millennials and Generation Z is the most powerful generation when it comes to social media and internet culture. Let's make a difference and choose a better path for our future.

Now’s to hope you don’t get cancelled
I have to ask. What is so hard with saying it is a problem? Instead of problematic? It sounds lazy and nonintellectual.
Pls blow up even more, more people need to see this.
This narrator thinks he sounds smart when he slows the cadence of his speech and makes it breathy and pleading. But in reality, anyone with a brain can hear how uneducated he is. Visual Venture is clearly the product of bad schooling, never reading a book, and being smartphone-addicted from age 10. He himself is everything that is wrong with his generation: sanctimonious and ignorant.
Man this made me sad in the end, Because i noticed how most generation Z (my generation) people think cancel culture is good, I am so dissapointed in my current generation man,
Even more dissapointed when i remember that our hunderds year old culture, As i am Dutch, "Black Pete" got cancelled because of "racism", Even though nobody up to 12 years old which is when you believe in "Black Pete" thought of it as "oh black people are slaves to white people", Not at all, "Black Pete" gave us candy, presents, and hugged us when we approached them,
It made me and many other dutch kids from back then that still witnessed "black pete" before it was cancelled think of black people as nice people that gave you candy, presents and hugs whenever you needed them, It greatly improved our opinion of them, But that all turned around when they wanted to cancel it, And the woman that started the cancellation of it was a foreigner that didn't even speak Dutch, She didn't know Dutch culture, When she tried to cancel it, Hate for foreigners skyrocketed in my nation,
People need to understand that if they cancel something from a nation that they're not even from will bring great backlash from said nation that will last generations because i'm sure this will stay in the heads of people forever and the knowledge that "foreigners cancelled our culture 60 years ago" will be passed down to newer generations, creating a ever lasting wound in our opinion of said foreigner from foreign country and race,
This is how racists and extreme right-wing people are made, A foreigner does something in their home country the citizen doesn't like at all such as cancelling a culture, and as result, said citizen that witnessed said foreigner from said race cancel this culture, Will have a ever lasting hate for said race because of said foreigner that will pass down to newer generations.
Imagine that though, Having your centuries old culture, CULTURE out of all things, Something that defines what your nation is, Cancelled forever because a foreigner that didn't even speak your language and knew nothing about your culture and thought it was racist even though it 100% wasn't.
Imagine being so jealous of someone's success that you scroll down 10 years worth of tweets just to find one offensive thing a person said.
they have gone to celebrities that are 80+ years old on their death bed and trying to cancel them for something they did in 1952. then these companies just cow tow to them and cancel the actor's entire life because of some 16 year old blue haired walking trash bag said so.
Then famous people coming out apologizing sad i would just move on if people want to switch up let em .
Even saying “Good morning” on Twitter can be cancelled just because the date of the post was 11th of September
@@LutasticLu I remember Twitter tried to cancel a TH-camr for speaking Spanish because they thought it was cultural appropriation.
The guy they tried to cancel was a Mexican American. 😂
@@fullmetaltheorist eddie vr?
Never apologize to a mob. They don't actually care about what you did, at least not anymore. They just hate you. By apologizing, you're just acknowledging you notice their backlash, which fuels their incentive to keep screaming about whatever it is.
fight, never surrender, even if you die, never surrender to the mob, to them, even doing kind things will be seen as evil, thats why we were being viewed as evil by majority of the world
There are a few celebrities that did this...they didn't apologize, and it went away...
So, never apologise if you upset more than 1 person? Never apologise if you say something so offensive that you upset a group of people? This is ridiculous advice. I would never advocate that people do not apologise for something that they do not feel remorseful for, but whether it's a group of people or an individual you should seek to be empathetic to their perspective and apologise if through that reflection you recognise you unwantingly caused harm and that that is something you regret.
@@Chronospherics Those people don't want an apology, they just don't want to forgive the person. They just want to spew hate. Seriously, screw them! And they SHOULD be ignored.
@@4xzx4 Someone that makes homophobic remarks (or any type of prejudice) should suffer consequences from people that have values that oppose those views. It's not irrational to expect some form of remorse to be reflected if want to be forgiven, which was what Kevin Hart wanted.
What bugs me most about Cancel Culture is that if a celebrity makes a mistake and does something “unacceptable”, the people will blow up online saying the celebrity MUST make an apology. But when that celebrity finally makes an apology, the people WON’T accept it, claiming that they are “only apolgizing so they can keep their image” or “only apologizing so they can still get money”. It’s completely unfair
Yes i noticed that too, really childish
The simple truth is that everyone makes mistakes and no one is immune from this.
if you get exposed, you're basically fucked
well most of the time it's a scripted empty apology written by an PR firm.
@@schmietwechdeschiet4340 l think it still supports my point. When a celebrity forces an apology, people can spot it and see its fake. But for the celebrities who really do see their mistakes and try to right their wrongs, the people wont believe it and think they are only apologizing for them to keep their fame
The thing I hate most about cancel culture is how it completely ignores how people can (and often do) change their beliefs and behaviors over time. Just because somebody made a comment years (or even decades) ago doesn't mean they still believe in what they said a long time ago.
For real, I believe cancel culture is just a cancer to the world, especially in western hemisphere
Therefore. Time to play God.

Exactly
Honestly most people don't change
no, they dont change....you take ultra extraordinary example, of people change, which only happen to 1-2 person per 5 billion people
My friend once told me when we talked about this:
"If they think that a mistake someone did in the past, no matter how regretted or rectified, should define someone's life, then the best I can do is pray they never make one."
Suddenly when people start cancelling you it isn't fun anymore, is it?
To a point. Extreme hardline bigots (not talking about people who said edgy things several years ago that don't reflect them in the now) and genuine sex pests (rapists and child predators) who've done genuine harm to others seem like exceptions. But at that point I wouldn't call it "cancel culture" unless people somehow manage to take things too far.
@@ArbitraryOutcome Of course you are correct. However we need to know who truly deserves that sort of judgement.
Bruh
yeah but that was far worse in the years before
I mean come on dudes like Alan Turing got their whole lives ruined because they were gay.
@@ArbitraryOutcome If you mean genuine harm as in killing or pushing people to suicide then yes I agree but thats literally against the law and doesnt call for "cancel culture" but the justice system
it disturbs me how CallMeCarson got shitted on FOR LIKE 2 YEARS STRAIGHT (even though from what i heard he got therapy and genuinely improved himself, plus a lot of people didn't think he was a so called pedophile) while TommyInnit is still on the internet without _any_ reprocussions after saying the n-word
im genuinely scared for the future of the internet, if this is the way we are already going i dont even want to see whats going to happen next
I feel you
The generation that I live in; with the way it's turning out.. ...makes me feel so disgusted and disappointed that it makes me not want to have a child anymore. The future doesn't seem any hopeful at all. I don't think my child would be happy to live within the environment that will be built by my generation in the future.
I miss the time when we believed more on virtue and being humble rather than self-righteousness and pride
@@mattcloud0414 Dude.... We lived through world wars and genocides. You really think some people getting angry on the internet will lead to a bad future????
Come on man!
Back in the day it was far worse!! Alan Turing for example. Dude shortened the war by nearly 2 years but because he was gay they threw him away.
Nowadays you have as much personal freedom as never before. We have food, technology. Hell it never was better than now!
Prepare for authoritarianism sometime in the future im sure it's bound to happen. The newer generations are being born more mentally weak and in need of constant catering to like a baby does. This breeds power hungry people who will most likely lie their way into power (Usually making false promises in an attempt to gain public favor) then when they have the power, it's already too late.
@@underarmbowlingincidentof1981 yes of course. This gen will eventually grow and take the values and morals they've learned in the present somehow when they grow up. If no one corrects us and those values are what we have today, it will affect the future. It sounds cheesy but it's true that the future is in the hands of this gen (if not all at least a good chunk of it). Eventually the baby boomers and millenials will have to pass and hand the torch over to gen z, and scarily maybe even igen.
Yes perhaps this gen can grow out of this "twitter phase" but what if we don't? That's what would be worrying.
No matter how good you are, you'll always be the villain in someone else's story.

@@ma-tanica there are different types of lawyers
@@ma-tanica I hope you grow up soon!
The sad part is that most times people don't even feel offended; they just find fun in being part of the people who humiliate.
Exactly, it hurts.
As said in the video: it's about power. It makes you feel powerful when you humiliate a person. It's *abuse* of power, as it is always in the context of punching down, as you hold all the power, mind you.
that's called sadism
Yes. It build a group bond. Knowing and doing things that are exclusive. This is fine until you start to devalue other peoples lives to lift yourself up.
@@ifyourepeatalieoftenenough8500 And nobody does that better than people on the right. But people who are focused on cancel-culture, suspiciously have little to say about anti-semitism and violence perpetrated by right-wing extremism, which statistically blows any statistics made by the left out of the water. Cancel cultures' been already since the beginning, it's just this time its nonviolently directed towards a non-minority of which you and I probably belong. I don't like it, but I don't pretend its worse than what used to be before, so I tolerate it. It's better than racists white-suprecmacists burning and killing everyone in Tulsa, that's cancellation you can really worry about- What we got? Leftists calling to boycott perceived assholes? What kind of p**sy do you have to be to see this as a serious threat?
But... cancel-culture DESTROYED AN ENTIRE GENERATION, and here's a clip of BEN SHAPIRO DESTROYING A FEMINIST!

@@jonathanwade3882 your going to be cancelled for not caring about it 😡
Funny part of it is? He's correct. There are a lot of people who are willing to say some pretty cruel things on the net that they WOULD NOT say in person.
such a good and true line
If you get emotional in your apology, they say *"ITS FOR THE ATTENTION"*
If you don't get emotional in your apology, they say *"SUCH A FAKE APOLOGY."*
If you say nothing at all, you’re a coward who’s trying to run away and hide.
You can't win with cancel culture. These "people" are rabid animals.
@@OfficialToxicCat so basically,cancel culture makes it impossible to recover
@@grubchubb0 Literally

@@krio1267 dude the world isnt gonna end because the cancel culture will most prob cancel itself
@Daniel Villarreal
He was a comparison To Kevin hart.
Some of these People Who get cancelled might even deserve it, but do ALL deserve it?
@Daniel Villarreal I agree. If the person is truly evil and never makes up for what they've done. Eg. A racist bigot that constantly still makes jokes about that kinda shit. That's when you can truly cancel a person. 👍
Depending on what they did I agree
a good example of a victim of cancel culture is onlyjayus, who did somthing extremely wrong and racist, but apoligized perfusly and tried to fix her mistake and learn from the past, and yet people are shunning her and litterly doxing her and calling her obscene things. i think she should be held accountable but doxing sombody and sending death threats constantly isn’t the way to go.
100,000% agreed. Take responsibility, but not pay with your entire life.
Well said
jayus is a terrible example, basically, she said a bunch of racist shit or something like that, everyone got pissy, but a MAJORITY of the people getting pissy were actually trolls because her first apology was her fucking bawling her eyes out on camera, then she said she'd let some black creators on her platform and ghosted them for a year lmfao
while I agree with the sentiment and I'll never agree with what people are doing to jayus - I think jayus is a bad example. She doesn't want to make ANY change, just pretend to.
@JO BE She already apologized, the hosting thing is an entirely different subject IMO, and even then it doesn’t warrant doxing
There are so many things I hate about cancel culture
The main one is people not knowing the difference between “holding accountable” and “bullying”
It’s so easy to see someone saying “we’re not bullying anyone, we’re holding them accountable”, and see the same person saying and wishing the most disgusting things that could ever happen to the person being cancelled
There is no difference between bullying someone and holding someone accountable for their actions.
It's considered rude to hold someone accountable for their actions...
@@rayganthetheremind1216 Could you expand on that, please? Not trying to be rude, just genuinely curious.
Last year my math teacher told us about a guy who was collecting donations for charity, and he was starting to get pretty popular and then a video surfaced of him saying something sexist in middle school and the result with him getting fired from his job, charities rejecting his donations, and getting spammed online with death threats
Bru 😦
MIDDLE SCHOOL? Damn!
thats fucking stupid and ridiculous and the person , who posted the video needs sorting
What in the actual fuck everyone fucks it up sometimes but get back better through force of will
"Here's a completely made up story I created in my head to get mad at"
The thing about cancel culture is that it doesn't matter what you say, no matter how good you are and no matter how many times you defend yourself, people will always find things to cancel you
The people who try to cancel you though, if you are just a normal person, are swine and trash. Don't acknowledge them.
I got ostracised from my friends for sympathising with Israel, where my close relatives live basically ...
@@dudefrombelgium bro you don't call those people friends, i hope you good
@@dudefrombelgium
I'm so tired of people not understanding the difference between cancel culture and toxic positivity.
When people make shitty assumptions, jump to conclusions, intentionally misunderstand you, write others off for expressing "uncomfortable views" that's toxic positivity.
Cancel culture, however, is a myth. These celebrities are grifting people for views and money while simultaneously taking 0 responsibility for their actions.
Their not cancelled, they're making money each time they say "cancel culture".
- Kevin Hart was not canceled. He makes a ton of money and is extremely successful.
- R. Kelly was not canceled. He was convicted for committing a crime.
- Brett Weinstein was not canceled. He promoted a bunch of disinformation on everything from biology to ecology, engaged in academic fraud, then voluntarily quit his low paid professor job to pursue a more lucrative opportunity in political punditry.
- Comedy is booming right now and comedians like Mark Normand, Bill Burr, and John Mullaney have made jokes about all sorts of risqué topics without any risk of being "canceled".
Sorry, but this documentary is misleading trash.
This cancel culture thing is going too far. People can be redeemed and learn from their mistakes like the video said. If all we do is dehumanize each other, then that just shows how disassociated we truly are with each other and instead of fairness in this world, we want self righteousness and influence over others.
What used to separates western democracies from dictatorships if our legal framework, we have a right to a trail and even if found guilty there has to be some redemption possible though serving time in a prison. This cancel culture is no different from what people suffer from for speaking out against the Chinese government, yes they can go further but they commonly get people sacked, made unemployable and get harassed by ultra-nationalists. Sure should a rapist get a sponsor deal........ no defiantly not, but the threshold for canceling should be way more then simply having a opinion on some subjects should not get your life destroyed.
@@testaccount4191 Now you’re talking! Exactly, mistakes are made. We should be able to forgive and learn from others.
PREAAAAAAAAACH !!!
Also a compounding issue is when the cancelled actually did nothing wrong, and the cancellers are in an ideological bubble and spreading lies. It's not even about redemption at that point it's trying to get a brainwashed mob to give up their holy war.
At this point, we might as well cancel the entire planet because, humans are flawed creatures. We say and do stupid things. I have yet to find a “perfect” human being who hasn’t said or done anything stupid or horrible. If I do, I’d be colored surprised.
The problem with cancel culture is those who participate in it take it way too far. You can call out someones negative behavior but instead of bullying them for it, try to be empathetic and kind. Help them so that they may learn from their mistakes and become a better person. If you bully someone and tell them to end their life just because they did something in the past or present that you disagree with, you're just as bad, if not worse.
And those people at the end of the day would claim it’s about accountability and wanting to educate people.
Thing is about "you can call out someone's negative behavior", that is incorrect. It doesnt mean you SHOULD. Who are you to talk about their business? Who are you to talk about them in a negative light? Who are you to act as judge, jury, and executioner? If you start out justifying acting as judge, you will eventually become the latter two, regardless of intention.
You are not god, their boss, or their judge.
So stop acting like that and mind your own business.
Down with cancel culture.
@@trollking6315 A bit late but, personally I don’t mind someone calling me out on something I got wrong and correcting me about it. Unless is constructive and the person is just trying to help me. But, people especially people online take it too far by either trying to cancel that person or try to attack their intelligence which is board-line childish. Twitter users are guilty of doing this mostly because they either do it out of spite, to troll, or to simply get validation. I’ve heard stories from people who would say they would get emails from people trying to harass or berate them via DMs online. Part of the issue with cancel culture is Extremism. And we all know how Extremism ends up damaging cause’s instead of helping them. The biggest issue with mobbing someone and cancel culture is the lack of educating people.
It's called extremism.
Why are we giving new names to old things? It's like the younger generation have not read history.
Agreed, we're all human at the end of the day, no need to tear each other down for it. Just help them through it!

I literally just watched this movie over the weekend. OMG nostalgia
As a member of Gen Z, it pains me to see people of the same generation acting so recklessly and without regard for the feelings or circumstances of another human being. Whenever I hear about someone being canceled, I'll try to think: "Ok, how would I feel if this happened to me for doing what this person did? Is the punishment proportionate to the mistake I made? Did the person even mean it with the intent to hurt someone?" People really need to start formulating their own opinions again. Hopping on the hate train just leads to more hate, and the only way to break this kind of cycle is to forgive. That's not to say we shouldn't hold people accountable. I honestly shouldn't have to say this, but we need to do better and actually talk things out instead of agreeing with everything we hear. We shouldn't cancel people. We should cancel cancel culture.
Cancel culture should be a cancelled culture

I’m gen z
I fully agree with you, I honestly wish I could be apart of a different generation
When I was a kid, and into my young teen years, I wanted to be a content creator. I became a content creator with some decent recognition within a fandom, and it ended in me having to wipe my existence from the internet because of a joke and some rumours.
For a long time, I would go through my followers on my new accounts and soft block people because seeing the number go up made me panic. I didn't want anyone to know who I was anymore. I still don't.
I ended up leaving Twitter, and other mainstream media platforms entirely after a couple of years because the anxiety was too much. It's still something I struggle with. Cancel culture is no joke.
its traumatizing dude, love and cheers mate be strong
Hm
Holy shit buddy, me and you are in the same boat. I used to want to be a content creator too, I posted art and tried to reach it to everywhere as much as possible, after a while I quit Instagram because of the drama in the art community and all its calling outs and unsafe feelings. But a lot of hellish years later of seeing people from all sites and medias and fandoms that I like getting cancelled, doxed, dogpiled, falsely accused, and harassed… it kinda hurt me lmao
I can’t have a stable online identity any more … I have this fear of someone being able to trace everything back to me, I make up accounts and new emails and everything only to drop them in a heartbeat when I feel it gets too “contaminated”. I never sign my artwork consistently out of a fear I’ll be discovered through signature linkings (despite me doing nothing that warrants a callout) and the usernames I use and backup accounts I have are fucking uncountable 😭 I did go back to Insta these months but just for my local community and friends, I made an art account again (with a whole new username and rentry, suprise?), but I don’t care about reaching people or interactions anymore, and I think I’d move accounts if one day I reach 1k+ followers lmao. Its too stressful. Its like having eyes follow you everywhere… I’m too fucking paranoid.
Stop thinking about it. I know there are a lot of people who technically could „cancel“ you, but still, just to remind you, you‘re being paranoid here. I know it‘s probably said, but still, if you‘re being too paranoid because of this, you will always keep being like this. I got „cancelled“ once too, on discord, because of me being myself (inappropriate jokes, aka offensive). It was kinda shit but still, I just stopped thinking about it after a month because at the end, I don‘t care. It are just random people who have a need to hate on everything that is not good for them, aka everything. I mean sometimes i still get dm‘d on dc and stuff, so people hate on me, but usually i just make a fool out of them, aka messing with them, until they just block me. It‘s not like I‘m actively trying to get „cancelled“, it are the others who want something to be negative about. But back to the point, dont care what others think, as that‘s gonna backlash in the long run. :)
It is extremely traumatizing to go through
And then after they do this they'll stalk you on any account they can find you on, maybe even try to find your personal information
It's monstrous
This reminds of of the Salem Witch Trials, where people were so scared of being accused of being a witch, (in this case cancelled), that they will actively accuse other people to show that they are innocent. The term is "mass hysteria," and we as a generation are currently experiencing it.
See, this is literally the exact shit we are talking about LMAO.
Being publicly executed in some of the worst ways possible for a crime that is literally fictional and can't happen VS getting fired or fined in the absolute worst cases, or being temp banned from Twitter and getting more famous in most. Is not the same goddamn thing, you are right it IS mass hysteria, but the ones you think are experiencing it are definitely not the crazy ones.
The worst consequences of someone being cancelled that has happened in recent history, is most likely Alex fucking Jones. Who spent 20 years fear mongering, and misinforming ignorant middle-to older aged people into being completely paranoid and poisoned by conspiracy thinking AND actively lying and harming the legal process which parents of a child massacre had to go through and ALL that happened to him is that he has to pay a fine from his immense fortune, and host a show on his own website instead of the popular ones.
Is this to he world ending issue you guys fear?? It's THIS and not conservatives literally forming armed terrorist militias to threaten minorities???
It is another perfect historical representation of cancel culture the elite are trying to divide us to control us learn about the past to not make the same mistakes
@@abirdnamedwillLmao I love how people advocating for cancel culture pretend that getting fired and harrassed, and socially ostracized to the point of committing suicide over false accusations is not as bad. Fucking psychopaths.
Oh man now that you mention it, yeah these are essentially modern day witch hunting (witch hunting is also a term used online not too long ago btw...)
Apologizing to the mob is like giving your lunch money to the school bully. When you do it once, they’ll continue to pick on you.
I think of mobs as people that don't think. I don't apologize to people like that. even if someone in the mob would kill me one day. I well carry on my day. I only apologize when I realize I really was in the wrong. but the thing is. people are getting dumber everyday. so people are ending there selfs the more they keep acting like dumbasses. I mean look at those "trans" people. they are ruining there own life styles and destroying there own childrens natural human growth. and I have a trans friend that doesn't even act like this. but I am trying to keep her away from those groups. so she would live more normally. buuut like I have already said. people are getting dumber everyday. is harder for anyone that's trying to live a normal life with those people around and there's ALOT of dumb people..
I wasn't expecting this video to be good considering it only has about 350 views but you have proved me wrong. This video was extremely interesting from start to finish and was organized very well and smoothly. This channel needs more subscribers and I am now one of them.

In today’s world, in order to not be canceled, you have to follow everyone else. I’ve followed this just to avoid any possible back lash I may receive if I say the wrong thing. Say a popular celebrity you like gets canceled, you now have to purposely dislike and even hate that celebrity you liked, just to avoid being canceled. Today’s world is fucked, and we’ve gone so far, I fear there is no going back.

It's also not just about what you say in the past, it's what you will say in the future. If anything you currently like or support becomes morally unacceptable with a certain crowd in the future for whatever reason then they will also use that as a reason to cancel you. You may be supporting something that is morally and socially accepted by people now, but if that ever changes in the future then you best be ready.
The issue with cancel culture is that people aren’t allowed to be human, you aren’t educating anyone by attacking them, people do it for the sake of petty reasons, and it’s used to justify harassment and bullying. By all means, I’m all for wanting people to take accountability for their actions but, how do you expect them to do it when you’re forming lynch mobs on them? And if it’s about accountability, then shouldn’t we just cancel everybody? Everyone makes mistakes and do stupid stuff.
“Hey you’ve almost killed me for being gay” “mb fam I’ll continue to do that since I’ve not gotten the consequences of that act”
If we're going to live in a world constantly walking on eggshells, no one can, and will ever start a career. Living in constant fear of failure, and mistakes, just ONE can literally ruin you by some idiot's who hate you, or just want clout from that drama they started. They would even victimize themselves even though you're the victim, and make stupid excuses IF they get called out.
Even if you predict their stupid action before it happens, they're still gonna do it.
our world will decay and fail may there be mercy to all
i constantly feel like i can’t say my opinions around certain internet friends cause if i do i know i’m gonna be shunned from the friend group, what do i do? i don’t know how to talk about it with them

@@MahNamJeff man soon they gonna cancel scientists for making one mistake..
@@MahNamJeff I would probably recommend that you learn a language that it’s people don’t know of cancel culture or don’t approve of it, so that when you do a little mistake they can forgive you, I know that there is a bad person of every race but honestly doing that might be safer for you
The main issue I have with cancel culture is it's "endlessness".
In a real life situation, a thief that is caught would be arrested, put in prison in order to be "rehabilitated" (not really what happens, but that is another topic) into society.
There's a certain duration for his punishment, but there's certainty that it is going to end. There is a time, and the time passes.
However, that is not the case for cancel culture. Cancellation is eternal. Even if you did NOTHING wrong, it's effects are permanent. Remember the first James Charles cancellation (the one before the sex scandals). Not only was it orchestrated by one of his "friends" in order to gain clout, even after all came to light, people didn't forgive him for... nothing?!
God I just hate how people can no longer change in this generation. Once evil, always evil in the eyes of social media.
People can change, people can grow. This is what cancel culture doesn't understand.
well people didnt forgive him because it also turned out to be true in spite of that lole
@@itsmothafuckingrimbus they’re talking about the scandal between James and Tati, it happened back in like march of 2018
@@FroggyLover69 what exactly happened?
@@phantom8926 from what I remember Tati was a ytber who was friends with James, and she had her own gummy vitamin product (I think it was called sugarbear hair or something) and she asked James to promote it on his socials, he rejected her and said that he doesn’t advertise gummy vitamins or something. Then after a couple weeks/months he posted an advertisement for another gummy vitamin product that was a competitor of Tati’s brand. So Tati got pissed and made like a 2 hour long rant about James
@@phantom8926 There we’re a bunch of rumours that were thrown around at the time (I think there was one about James hitting on a straight waiter without his consent, but that turned out to be not true)
As someone that has been canceled on Twitter over misinformation/something I never said, I believe it's safe to say that canceling people isn't okay unless the person in question is truly awful.
Cancel culture just doesn't work.
You would think they do justice,they try to fix the broken,but they just find pleasure and satisfaction in using their power over unsupported people.
The real justice should be the law,the law and nothing else.They shouldn't be focusing on ruining the life of the canceled,but focusing on finding what's fair for their actions.And if they commited a crime,let the system punish them in that case,you're not the law,you're not the right hand of god,let the law do its job.
This is how I feel honestly. I think cancel culture is essentially useless unless the person is immensely powerful and regularly does shitty stuff without remorse. Outside of that, it's just equally shitty people feeling excited to emotionally beat the hell out of someone and act justified for it.
Depending on what someone has done (murder, sexual assault, deliberately being racist), then yes, they deserve to be cancelled. But most of the time people are getting cancelled over little things like jokes or phrases that someone may not have worded properly.
Personally,the best way to actually "cancel" someone in my opinion is to not give any attention to them and their works,successes etc and letting the justice system take care of criminal issues. Also IMO we should educate people why we don't support these people. But nowadays, cancel culture feels like personal hatred coated as "righteous act to bring justice" which is totally disgusting.
yeah, also, if you dont like someones actions, but they didnt do anything illegal just literally stop following them, theres not much you can do and its stupid
what do you do when law enforcement won't do anything about it?
my case is with someone i used to skateboard with. working with nearly 43 different girls, my friends and i gathered extremely detailed accounts of him raping, abusing, manipulating, drugging, and stalking these people. thats 43 people, some reaching as low as 14 years old while he sat at comfortable 18-22 years old. if i were to include his antics before he even turned 18 youd be nearly double those 43 people. even after we released all this information to try and get his ass canned, LAST MONTH he broke into his ex's house with a stockless AK trying to find her for whatever nutty reason he had.
i live in chandler, az btw this skinny white fuck still stalks my friends and even got a job as a truck driver.
Well and that's because that's always been the real intention. Cancel Culture has NEVER been about justice, it is about power and social control. The less accountable cancel culture is to reason or objective truth, the more powerful of a tool it is for silencing opposing viewpoints and gradually transforming the population of a large, modern democracy in to ridiculous and violent extremes. These people are not wrong, they are evil, and if this gets bad enough we should eventually consider having them killed. I hope it doesn't reach that point, but it's better to kill a few thousand malcontents who choose this way of life than to fight a civil war and kill millions of innocents. We could also consider the publicly authorized use of military-grade machine guns at certain violent protests, and large tractors to gather and dispose of the bodies afterwards.
That's cancel culture. They don't give a fuck about what the person did, they just wanted to feel righteous.
The cancelers are some of the most self righteous people in human history, and they’re fully aware just how much pain and mental anguish they cause to those they cancel. They need to read the Scarlet Letter
And they need to understand the adage people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones and the Bible adage he who never sinned cast the first stone.
These people act as if they’re morally superior but, they’re just as bad as the people they go after and harass online.
And they do it for the most ridiculous things. I myself have been attacked for saying stuff like "You know, we should remember that even decades ago that there were a number of (white) people who were NOT racist in America, and actually showed kindness to minorities, in addition to the evil people of those times". I was called a liar, a bigot, tone deaf and delusional. I probably hate racism more than most people (I consider ethnic prejudice of any kind one of the most disgusting evils out there), and wouldn't even THINK of denying the painful parts of our past, but I based my claim off of history that can EASILY be verified and from older folks from those generations I saw as a child (my own grandfather, born in 1928, went out of his way as a young doctor to care for minority race migrant workers). These people online refused to listen, and tried to make sure everyone joined in attacking me. The "Cancel Culture" has become a mob seeking to literally guillotine anyone who doesn't agree with them or their views, it is so dangerous I can't begin to tell you. We're going into a full-on Reign of Terror if this keeps up.
These people are not interested in apologies and people moving on. They get a weird sense of joy that they were able to bring about another person's destruction...
I believe the word for that is “schadenfreude”.
When I was growing up, people would say, "sticks and stones will break my bones..."
You can't please everyone. That's just a fact of life.
Remember: If you ever are at the receiving end of a cancel mob your best option is to just ignore it and let it blow over on it's own. Never acknowledge it, never apologize. These people are looking to torment you and by giving it recognition you are essentially confirming their thoughts and opinions and encouraging them to double down and much worse. In the old days of the Internet we had a saying: "Don't Feed The Trolls", and cancel mobs are really just one giant organized group of trolls.
Cancel culture - a vicious cycle of hate and violence. Brought to us by misinformation and groupthink.
This ^ I also think if it's a cancelation where someone is saying you did something I.E Cheat on love intrest/ any sexual misconduct I would defend myself because 1 you're already going to be done for even if you say nothing. It's a case by case thing like with R.Kelly he was 100% guilty but some people are so low and will stoop to that level to defame and destroy you it's sad you gotta keep receipts of interactions with the people because you never know what motive they will have given a certain day.

Great example 💯
The issue alot of times is the stuff done was wrong back then when it happened. There were just no consequences at that time. Now there are consequences and people do not want to be held accountable. It's kinda like you commit a small crime as a teen you are now in your 50's. And, you've been visiting a foreign country every year for a while and they just past a new law saying people who commit certain crimes will be turned away. They pull your record and you are turned away. Even though it happened a long time ago and even though previously it didn't matter. It matters now and you are not getting in. Someone can make 1 mistake 20 years ago and it is still effecting them today. Happens all the time. That's why when I was growing up the adults always said what you do right now will effect you for the rest of your life. And they ment that. Some of yall didn't learn that lesson and are now learning it the hard way.

I’ve been growing my whole life with Asperger’s Syndrome and I’ve been ostracized by tons of people. Never have I ever felt the mob mentality. But it’s so irritating being on side that gets bullied. I’ve gotten all kinds of insults and even when I do inform others of my brain.p, and thought process they don’t even acknowledge it once they get emotional. At least I know who’s really there for me when I need it.
idk how i never thought of that! i’m on the autism spectrum & i’ve always felt the same way, but everyone talks about mob mentality like it’a just an inevitable trap that everyone falls into equally. it’s nice to know that i’m not a total narcissist for thinking i might be a little less susceptible to groupthink than some of my peers XD
I’ve got it too, it’s true how group think eventually destroys us.
Same here, I'm always playing devil's advocate. I'm pretty sure I'd get burned at the stake a few times over if I was born in a medieval era.
11 months after this video, and unfortunately, cancel culture isn't just already cemented as the only legacy of Gen Z, but has also gotten unbearably worse. And if you want examples, just filter the comments by " Most Recent ".
People who are a part of or support cancel culture will always give the exact same arguments on how they believe to have a moral high ground and how the terrible consequences that come from it have " nothing to do with cancel culture " by always giving the most ridiculous, exaggerated and extreme examples.
It's sad, really. Society isn't becoming better or more equal. It's just moving straight ahead into a new age of segregation, but instead of gender or skin color, it's between people who made " mistakes " and people who never made a single mistake in their entire existence, except the second group is the one who decides what is a mistake.
Got cancelled by my entire grade in freshman year for something I had no part in. I called the guy out who started it and havent heard about it since. The trick is ignore it or make the people dumb enough to start shit without any ground look like idiots. In the end, people start this type of stuff because they think people wont have the willpower to stand up against it. Sadly, this is true for most of my generation.

What country?
I'm just here to say two things:
- First of all, great video
- Second of all, for all the people that say cancel culture is only prominent in the U.S., I assure you it's not. It's everywhere, and it's rapidly growing in popularity. Even I, from Italy, which is known to be very behind social-media speaking, know about this movement since, at the very least, 2019. Trust me, it's worse than you'd ever think.
It's true, I from Israel and cancel culture is growing quickly here
Starting to grow in my country but luckily it didn't took roots here
I’m from the Philippines and my country do happen a cancel culture. I remember about Bella Porch’s issue regarding the tattoo (a Japanese Imperial flag) that sparks a controversies the Koreans were offended because of the Japan’s atrocities in the WW2. Then one comment or 2 (has Korean name + no profile picture) says “Filipinos are uneducated.” This phrase/words sparks even more controversies than the Koreans offended. It went to the Filipino users and they outrage about that comment and then they will ‘cancel Korea’ (from Kpop stans to Korean lover) because of that comment. I too been joined that mob, and now I’m still regret on what I’ve done for that kind of issue. Before or after watching this video, I would’t join the cancel culture mob because they don’t care if the individuals, groups, or organization do something wrong and they corrected themselves for their mistakes, or what is real or faux news, they would still cancel anyway.
of course its happening in everywhere americans have no clue what happens besides their own country lol
Cancel culture is everywhere
I think one thing you didn’t touch on is the psychological impact of the isolation that comes from being canceled. It’s very hard to deal with having your entire social life and career uprooted for something that doesn’t usually justify that kind of result.
I saw something similar in the 80s they tried to cancel DnD and metal music for being satanic.
"Destroying a man's career is akin to killing him." It's essentially the modern lynch mob.

Ironically, cancel culture seems to have some parallels with racism.
Through my own personal experiences, I had developed a negative opinion of a certain ethnic group. Fortunately, I had the wherewithal to recognize and understand that these opinions are not indicative of the whole group. I've only ever had negative interactions with this one particular family.
I realized that I had become a little racist, and took active steps to correct my behavior with rational, logical thought.
Yet these negative opinions persisted. Upon seeing someone from this ethnic group, I immediately felt apprehensive. Of course I can quickly shake it off and set myself straight, but that's the problem. I didn't THINK negatively about these people. I FELT negatively about these people.
Racism, at its core, is never and has never been an issue of logic. It's an emotional response. This is made all that much clearer when you look at how responding to racism with logic almost never works. Often times, you'd just make the racist upset. You'll get an negative EMOTIONAL response.
And I can see a lot of unfortunate parallels in this cancel culture movement. Nobody is willing to engage in reasonable dialogue. They've already made up their minds about who is guilty about what. If you try to reason with many of these people, they will just get mad and label you as racist/sexist/etc as well. Even if the proof they to justify their accusations is proven false, even if they are shown proof that proves them wrong, even if all reasonable logic points to innocence, it usually doesn't matter to this cancel culture movement, because it's not about logic. These people FEEL wronged, regardless of whether they actually were or not. It's fueled by emotion. Unfirtunately, logic seldom triumphs over emotion.
You did well recognizing that you had developed an unfair bias and working to fix it.
Racism at its core is treating people differently because of their race. Feelings are going to happen, but they only matter to you because you're the only one aware of them. They're also somewhat inevitable in some situations. When 13% of the population is responsible for 50% of violent crime apprehension and fear are a natural result. It's the same reason a branch in the grass that looks like a snake will startle people. But that feeling didn't turn people into slaves, segregate schools, or put innocent people in prison. People had other reasons for that and filled in the gaps with racially charged feelings.
@@MrDj232 humans are basically hardwired to generalize. It's a holdover from our days as primitive hunter gatherers.

Of course that isn't true, but you don't know that.
The only way to fix this is through genuine understanding, and the best way (only way for some people) to achieve this is through experience.

Being canceled is the worst feeling EVER. I got canceled merely for liking a tweet.

We forget people have feelings, some people like myself are sensitive i'd admit to any wrong doing that's not an issue. but losing everything for political disagreements is wrong !
I completely agree it feels like these days we don’t have freedom of speech anymore. I may not agree with someone’s views but that shouldn’t allow them to lose opportunities in their life
As someone who grew up along with the internet, is there’s something I’ve learned from Cancel Culture is that your digital foot print is so, so SO IMPORTANT. Especially because everything you comment, tweet, and post, is monitored and will be saved. It really makes you think twice about you do on the internet.
I feel like the disturbing part of cancel culture is that it’s partially mob mentality. I’ve noticed that people will only jump onto the hate-train because others do it.
It IS mob mentality. One person or even a handful aren't scary, but when hundreds or even thousands are wrangled into a frenzied hive mind hungry for any justification of outrage, that's a mob straight-up.

It doesn't matter who you were before and what you've done in the past. What truly matters is who you are now and what you can do to make a difference.
The sooner people realize that, the quicker Cancel Culture dies out.
If you see someone say something unacceptable or outdated and yout first thought is to destroy their life and oust them from society instead of educate them and try to change their opinions, you're not socially conscious and woke, you're a bully.
More that that: you're a fascist.
or to simply ignore them and move on,which is what a logical person would do.
The idea of being misinformed scares me half to death. If I would hurt someone online and slowly come to realize that I made an error in it all, that guilt scares me.
Group mentality is the culprit here, when you're sure of something try to find people who are sure of the opposite and listen to them, and always be prepared to change your opinion. Being wrong isn't a mistake, it's a step.
and its not made easier by how many lies fly out there. My solution? Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you're shown unless you know you have a reliable source. And even then, do your own research. Forge your own opinion instead of just accepting the opinions of others without proof.
The solution to this is to learn humility, showing grace toward others whenever possible, and guard against performatively acting out against others in self-righteous indognation.
Simple, don't participate in cancel culture and stand strong by your own beliefs.
Word of advice: stay away from mob mentality, and you’ll be fine. And always practice the idea of innocent until proven guilty.
The irony of the situation is, gen z’s canceling of ppl is going to lead to them being cancelled. and I can’t wait to see that happen. Businesses will eventually stop hiring them and those that already have them will stop promoting them.
At this point, we might as well cancel the whole entire planet.
Gen Z will probably, ironically, be the loudest advocates against it when they're older and getting canceled for mistakes they made as kids and young adults.
Businesses have done that already. It's not entirely gen z's fault, but cancel culture wise they've reaped what they sow. Now they feel how it is to get the short end of the stick.

I understand cancelling someone for commiting an actual crime, but oftentimes the person should be able to apologize
But what seems to happen is that if someone apologizes, they won’t accept it anyway. Some will accept it and move on, but some won’t.
If you appear emotional in the apology, it’s “for attention”. If you’re not emotional, it’s “not a genuine apology”. If you make none at all, you’re viewed as a coward trying to hide.
Apologizing seems to make cancel culture think they can control you easier, which is why comedians in particular don’t do it.

I litteraly was playing a chess game and after I won I said "Don't run away let's play a rematch come on!" I got a warning they gonna ban my account because "We noticed a pattern of aggressively asking for rematches in your communication. Nobody is obligated to play another match with you.
WOW OKAY WOOW!

The underlying entitlement of cancel culture is what makes me hate it so much. Who do these people think they are that 1) they're so great that no one is allowed to offend them 2) if someone offends them, they deserve the the societal equivalent of the death penalty 3) they are the ones who decides what's offensive and so on.
For every action, there's a reaction. This applies here, so a reaction to cancel culture is coming and it will be something
The biggest mistake anyone in this day and age can make is to apologize. Never do it, if they call you any kind of “ist”, then so be it. If you apologize, you lose their game.
I wouldn’t know; what’s it like to be called and ist?
I rather tell the people who are getting wrongfully cancelled to tell the mob the parable of the unmerciful servant from the bible
@@bailujen8052 lol they won’t listen half of the shit in the bible they would gladly cancel if they could
how about rapist , arsonist type of ist🤣
@@AlirioDaza8 true
actually nowadays, certain people would cancel God if they could, mostly because they don't like the truth, when the truth hurts we hide in lies, unfortunately it's going to be worse as the time goes on, before generations had more respect with people's religions, while nowadays generations are having less respect, actually the world is almost ready for the anti-christ government, no respect to God, everything contrary to the Bible, someone that supports LGTV will probably try to cancel me for saying that, but as i said, it's the truth
Nothing can be done about canceling. If people don't want to support a particular artist or business because of their views or actions no one can force them to do otherwise.
my favorite thing about this trend is all the “phobic”-s and “ist”-s. i saw someone on twitter call a stranger ableist because they had fancy font on their twitter profile and this is apparently a knock on the visually impaired like???? bro i fucking died 💀
I was actually accused of Ableism on Twitter because, I said that Donald Trump may have a case of Narcissism when someone from FOX suggested he may have a little Autism. And I'm Neurodivergent myself.
bro literally i can't even understand half of those words, where do these guys get them from??
The best way I would describe something like cancel culture is people wanting to find an excuse to bully and slander someone else for their own gain.
agreed,it's become an excuse for some terrible people to attack others.
“He who is born without sin, let him cast the first stone”.

"Gen Z, don't let cancel culture be your legacy" Damn ☠️
I was bullied in school. For no reason only because I was vulnerable and an easy target. I was taught by my family to treat people with kindness and to not be rude too people. So when I was bullied I didn’t know how to defend myself properly. I’d say it was the worst period in my life. I was verbally abused and sometime’s physically. Mainly by girls and sometimes boys.
I was never the sheep which I guess made me very different from the rest. I never deserved to be bullied. Because I knew I never treated people disrespectfully. I remember crying in changing rooms, the loneliness and vulnerability would take over me, my “friends” at school would never defend me because they feared they would get bullied as well. My entire school life since I was 10 till 16 years old I was badly bullied.
I graduated from school then went to collage. I was worried I would get the same treatment at school but luckily I didn’t. I made some friends and worked hard for 2 years to finish. I remember during college me and my two other friends said something funny and I started laughing but then I started slowly crying. I knew it was strange and so unusual. I think it was because I wasn’t used to being in a comfortable environment and actually having a good time with people you trust. Which means I was mentally healing from school.
I graduated from college and then went to university in London. I’m studying at a high level of art and have a huge friend group that I have fun with and can open myself up to. I’m so glad I never gave up hope and had a good family to help me on my journey and raising me right.
I’m in my second year at uni. And I sure as fuck won’t ever take shit from anyone again. And I will always go by my own morals. I understand how it feels to be in such a bad position. And that has taught me how to remain a good person and know who to trust.
Final words: You must be kind. Don’t ever talk behind peoples backs or hurt others just because you want to impress the “popular” crowd. Help others and take time to understand them. If someone is a bit strange don’t judge them just because their different to you. If you treat people with kindness and consideration they will feel a little happier knowing people like you exist. And it could inspire them to do the same.
Yes, definately. But do not accept fake ppl. Do not cansel them but cancel your accessibility.
That's gay AF dude.
"You must be kind"
No. If you happen to have kids, you will project your traumas over them. You got successful after your childhood wounds, but you're an exception. You will probably raise them as wolves, and also teaching them not to attack sheeps.
But school is a sandbox of power. If you have it, you'll exert it anyways. There is no pity, and every millenial parent knows it. I'd rather sacrifice every other children of the universe to save mine. I know what it feels, I still carry the scars, physically and mentally.
" And I sure as fuck won’t ever take shit from anyone again." That means that you're willing to use violence to defend your interests. Thats no different than bullying. Bullying or defending yourself at the end of the day is the same thing. Its violence. There's no moral dimension to it. Violence is absolutely necessary, and the earlier you understand that, the less likely you'll be bullied in your life.
@@SuperBrahimos No, basic respect is a thing, don't misconstrue the concept.
@@Skarpyre Defense is an answer to bullying, they're not the same thing, it's like calling someone who kills as self defense the same as a murderer, and I get both reactions come from primal dynamics of our species enhanced by the social situations, but we also live (mostly) in a society with rights and duties, and bullying can't be seen as the same as defending yourself, bullying is punishable, defending yourself is a right.
Great pacing, perfect editing, beautiful message. Well done Gerard!

Aye thank you man I’m trying to follow in your footsteps hahaha. Let’s do it. 100k at the end of the year for both you and me!
Crazy enough, people still have not forgiven Logan Paul for acting disrespectfully in Japan, yet people are forgiving influencers for doing even worse things just because they align with their sexuality or quirk.
People keep following James Charles even though he's been caught being a creep. Basically pushing the Blame on the people he targeted. I was even told to go off myself by one of his followers. Ironically I was called a bully.
Toto liked this.
we all said something stupid in the past, the fact that now we can be destroyed by it only because someone disliked us is horrifying
Literal dystopian future we’re heading into.
Dont apologize for things you didnt do wrong. Dont apologize for jokes that were fine at one point but all of a sudden arent because someone or some people got butthurt. Dont apologize for having your own opinions & not following the culture cult. Dont apologize for being individual.
Dont apologize for being you. Especially to people who dont even know a shred of anything about you.
Edit: minor spelling
I remember when PewDiePie recently got canceled for “making fun of a deaf girl when he was making fun of the girls nails. What annoyed me was when he apologized, and the youtuber I watched said apologizing is the position to be in. I was like in this society it’s actually the worst place to be in.
I love karens
For some reason I read shred as Shrek 🤣

Never horrible decisions while your famous.
Glad this video points out the major problem in social media, should not have your entire life be decided by a single mistake and a lunatic.
I learned about misinformation in my uni class (about records management). Misinformation and cancel culture are a dangerous combo.
I found your channel today. It's really interesting and informative! 😃
ok i genuinely expected this to be as popular as some really good documentaries like a mil views or more, honestly the last thing i expected was for it to only have this much, you're underrated man, i hope you are able to become popular at some point because this content is amazing. you definitely earned a new subscriber.
Means a lot 🙏🏽. Glad to have your support for future content!
The algorythm is doing you wrong dude, seriously. Videos like this deserve SO much more attention. Your message is on point, keep up the amazing work!!
Reallly appreciate you 🙏🏽

One thing I want to add: it completely kills important conversations. People who aren't so sure about this or that can't express it, even if they're doing so with the intent to learn more about a topic. So you just get people harbouring more and more uncertainty and, soon, contempt for "accepted" ideas. People who participate in cancel culture will be the first to talk about "forcing society to have tough conversations", but they want to be the only ones talking. That's not a conversation, that's a lecture, and they just want to be the one in power during a lecture.
Браво на Тото, вижда се че може да превежда от английски...
Its such bullshit how such genuinely good content like this exists. The pacing, the editing, the research. The mic quality. Everything is so well done. And yet its this criminally underwatched. I'm genuinely hoping you pop straight the fuck off this year guy.
I've always knew something like this was going to happen, it was just thinking about how to stop it. I don't know what we will do but I hope my generation will think through its actions in the cancel culture, because im scared for my own future
Yep agreed 👍
you ask a great question. the only reason why i'm not scared at all is bc i'm outside the US
dude .... humanity made it through genocides and world wars ...
you think some people on twitter are gonna destroy the future or what?
Get out of here mate... haha
Zoomers have taken the technology made by the generation i belong to and the prior that, for the first time, requires no knowledge or experience to harness in a way that, if we had hindsight in the beginning, would have never created it in the first place. Babies with flame throwers.
Funny that you assume people think.
This generation wouldn't able to handle 30 seconds of a Doug Stanhope special. And that's sad because he's truly brilliant.
Z = Zero tolerance, Zero joy, Zero humour
I once read a comment on some video that said “I love being Gen Z, we have so much power.”
My response was saying out loud: “That’s not good that’s fucking TERRIFYING”
Yeah Gen Z are the ones literally causing this
@@BoomTribeEntertainment what do you expect? These are mostly kids or young adults who are still idealists at that age yet have been given tools that could potentially manipulate society. Tools that they frankly understand better than the older people who designed them. On top of that we’ve only ever known a world ruled by the boomer demographic. A individualistic cynical group that has always used the narrative that the younger generations were weak & lazy. Meanwhile they destroyed the housing market & gutted the public sector. Kids my age & younger are extremely fed up, don’t have any hope. Gen z has been shown to care abt equality the most out of any other generation which is great. However I think many of them mistakenly use that to enforce others views. Anyways again most of them are kids & for any generation to act like their cohort of kids werent doing stupid things is just disingenuous. Maybe the adults should take a look in the mirror at how their technology has effected us before vilifying a whole generation.
@@BoomTribeEntertainment as a gen Z, i hate that part of my generation so freaking much, they drag down the ones that are actually good people
@@orlandofurioso7329 based my king
And as a Gen Z person, our generation does not know how to use it responsibly and maturely.
I was cancelled before on unpopular opinions and for a time, it hit hard because I didn't know what to do. However, I did had a fair share of death threats and that swung at me so yeah, they were some real snakes.
I used to think IRL bullying was bad growing up, but online, it's so much worse especially when someone go out of their way to literally stalk you on different platforms because they feel as if they are doing some so-called 'vigilante' justice nonsense because you are problematic.
It's not justice nor it ever will be called as such, it's deplorable and disgusting behavior.
The nerve! They don't know that if you judge, you yourself will also be judged according to your own measured judgement; so if you will judge, judge righteous judgement! This sjw bs and karen bs isn't righteous judgement, but flat-out hate slander falsehood and hypocrisy! Oy! Those that are right do get justice, R-kelly being the example, but this is Not what we're speaking of here.
Did you say an unpopular opinion?
@@jlall4467 Yeah and it triggered people to call me a homophobe because I didn't agree with a preschool kids' show (Blues' Clues if you are wondering) teaching kids stuff that they shouldn't know about. I mean, preschool kids should be learning their ABC's and 123's, not identity politics and that.
Same.. I've gotten death threats, stalkers, been actively mass reported on Twitter and had my entire account deleted ect.
Weak minded people who can't handle having their narratives busted.
@@ThatNorwegianGuy- It's because they can't handle the truth.
Cancel culture creates an age of anxiety
