How do we think about cancel culture?

There's no such thing as cancel culture

Demanding better from people who have sizable platforms and a wide influence is not silencing them. It is an effort from those who have been accused of harmful behaviours, or people who sympathize with their harmful attitudes, to silence the people who call them out. It is an attempt to shift blame and make people who stand up for themselves and others seem like theyre the ones causing the issues. Clearly this is an effective technique for deflecting accountability
