The difference between cancel culture & critiquing content is obsession & intention. A vindictive person repeatedly posts & piles-on to ruin someone. An individual who critiques is objective & doesn’t get some sick pleasure over destroying another human being. Just my 2 cents.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I hate the term “cancel culture” too. It’s as meaningless as “virtue signaling.” It basically means pushback that I don’t approve of. https://time.com/5735403/cancel-culture-is-not-real/ …

Basically, it’s a meaningless buzzword frequently used by right wingers to dismiss the legitimacy of the voices of the disadvantaged.

Don’t get me wrong. Pile-ons are real. Twitter can be toxic. But, please, don’t use right wing attack words designed to delegitimize marginalized voices uncritically.

For every interpretation that suggests the term deligitimizes marginalized voices, there’s a counter argument. “cancellation isn't personal but a way for marginalized communities to publicly assert their value systems through pop culture” https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vice.com/amp/en_us/article/vbw9pa/what-is-cancel-culture-twitter-extremely-online …

It’s a fascinating topic to discuss. Thank you for sharing your perspective. I’m always happy to discuss/debate/learn from others on Twitter when there’s a mutual respect between both parties. It’s a rarity lately.

I've just found that I can no longer deny that that the term "cancel culture" is very much like the terms "social justice warrior" and "virtue signaling" in that it has become an all-purpose buzzword used by the right to deny legitimacy to the voices of their components.

The idea is to paint protest against voices that are odious, such as Nazis, racists, etc., as an unacceptable "attack" on free speech, when in fact such protests are an exercise in free speech.
