what really makes me mad about cancel culture is how people assume they know everything about a certain celebrity based on their activity in social media. It is how they strongly believe they can determinate if someone is a good/bad person based on which picture they like, who they follow on Instagram, which tweets they retweet...
Firstly, no one is either good or bad. This rethoric is so problematic I could actually write an essay about it.
Secondly, I see this as a consequence of stan culture. We stan celebrities and act as if they were perfect, but they are just as humans as we are. I don't like to judge people based on what I see on Instagram. And also a few things are sooo exaggerated!!
"Omgg he liked a tweet, I'm so sad I feel sick whenever I see anything about him!!"
"If you are still following her, please let me know, so I can block you."
Whenever I enter twitter and I see some celebrity being canceled, I only see people that are trying to feel morally superior to others. I don't see anyone who cares about society and actually does something to improve the world, only SJW who bash on everyone who disagrees with them.
Of course some people deserve to be held accountable for what they do or say. Being transphobic, racist, sexist, homophobic is not okay. But we also can't assume anyone's characters based on likes and follows and retweets and not speaking out about something. We don't know actually know them. We admire their work but we don't live with them.
