        why do white people keep writing things about cancel culture when they really mean that they don’t want to be critiqued or socially sanctioned for their contributions to “the public sphere” that reify harmful tropes and/or exploit those that are not like them...

        Black people and other POC are immediately canceled by denial as soon as they share an experience with discrimination. These racism evasive/denial tropes are what need to be recognized and canceled. There are enough of these statements. Let’s see more lists of the actions taken.

        as someone who has been Very Online in gaming/nerd culture spaces since age 10, as a general rule, I just immediately mute people who reply with inane shit but if you believe this too is cancel culture...well...my apologies

        My institution is dealing with a white provost who dropped the n-word (as a quote) during a casual lecture to faculty and is now *shocked* that folks are pissed and keeps arguing for his ability to use the n-word in an academic context. It’s... so fucking bad lol
