Nice. Best comment on the thread so far.
Some really hateful and shitty people have been deplatformed, so I don’t have to hear other hateful shitty people echo their garbage.
The only people I hear complain about cancel culture are people that want a free pass to have bigoted views without being called out.
Not much, what about you?
I’ve had to see posts like this get downvoted
It hasn’t.
Me personally? Not at all in any way.
Not much really. I cant listen to songs from certain bands on spotify that were cancelled which sucks (i just ignore the lyrics), but i also dont think they should have a mainstream platform to spread hate, so i get it
Could you name (any of) these songs and bands?
A lot of songs from bands like Peste Noire and Skrewdriver. Their views are absolute dogshit, but guys like the lead singer of Peste Noire are musically very talented. Such a shame they go down those roads
Wow! I just googled these two bands and found out why they were canceled. Honestly, I didn’t expect them to reach that point. I know a Lebanese band called Mashrou’ Leila that was banned from entering Arabic-speaking countries because they support homosexuality, and even the band’s lead singer came out as gay himself. So the reasons for cancellation here and there are vastly different, lol.
Censorship is a dangerous tool, best avoided because of how easily it can be abused. The best cure for hate is education and rationale. An educated and rational population need not fear the ravings of madmen, for they know who is/not worth listening to.
I disagree with you. Censorship is very important in many cases because things can be said that might cause disasters, so we shouldn’t be tolerent or lenient with them.
In Egypt, for example, an author named Farag Fouda was killed in the 90s by a citizen after hearing a Sheikh called for his death! And incidents like these have been repeated many times all over the world!
At the same time, we must set a clear boundary that, once crossed, an individual gets punished, so we do not equate someone anti-Semitic and anti-Black with someone who says he is gay and presents progressive ideas in his songs!
Also, education is important, but enforcing strict laws acts as a deterrent and increases society’s protection against horrible hate crimes.
Cancel culture is not a thing. Actions have always had consequences, the new change is that people with power have also started to receive consequences. You are fighting their fight if you are against “cancel culture”.
It brought me to the fediverse, which is nice.
Banned. 😂
makes it easier to block the knobs when they self-report claiming to be “victims”
