I don’t believe in cancel culture. And when I say that I don’t mean in the sense that it’s a bad thing, or that people are excessively woke, or policing other people’s lives… the usual crap that you hear bemoaning it.
When I say I don’t believe in cancel culture I mean that I don’t believe it’s a thing.
It’s accountability, plain and simple. You do something that you know is wrong, immoral, illegal, whatever, then you have to deal with its consequences as well. It doesn’t matter if it was last week, last year or last century, actions have repercussions. I don’t want to hear about it being a different culture, a different time.
The bottom line is that if you do something wrong and knew that it was wrong, you’re responsible for your actions. Period. No additional context or perspective needed.
