I think there are different degrees of being cancelled and some I agree with and some I don’t. You look at someone like Bill Cosby, who was put in jail for his actions and he gets grouped in with someone who tweeted something 10 years ago when they were in high school. These are not equal “cancellations”. Cosby should be cancelled and not get another job as an actor while the old tweeter should probably just get a second chance.
Anyway, there has always been some form of cancel culture and political correctness. I think people are making too big a deal of being canceled and we have more of a victim culture. Some people probably go on to say something controversial and then when they get backlash claim that they are being cancelled when they aren’t. They are attention seekers. On top of that, what happened to PR firms. Didn’t they used to act as a buffer between stars and the fans that follow them? Shouldn’t they be putting out these fires by their clients? Just my 2 cents…
