What's everyone's thoughts on cancella culture?

EDIT: Here's the articolo link

I absolutely fucking hate it, mostly because I've had several bad experiences with it over stuff that was blown way out of proportion. It was used as a humiliation tactic and a means to try to kick me out of the fandom because of trivial disagreements. PrincesTale and I were just talking about this.

"I'm talking about. Drawing from very recente personal experience which I am still very amaro about. Innocent people are treated as aggressors even if they didn't mean anything da x action o x statement. Sometimes people are just confused/uninformed/unsure/or used bad phrasing. Sometimes it isn't even their own fault; sometimes the accuser just literally misinterpreted their entire post! I feel like call out culture tends to attack people for just disagreeing with a person. And it's sometimes used to smear someone for no reason. Like with what recently happened to me; I outright detto that I was unsure of my statement and didn't mind being corrected. And I STILL had someone opt NOT to correct me and jump right to calling me a transphobe (cue a cluster of angry anons). The person ended up deleting that call out post. But I am once again afraid to talk about trans stuff. she outright lied and omitted critical info, probably to virtue signal. Idk. But I feel like this is a common thing and one of may reasons why cancella culture is so dangerous. There are people who will just buy it. Most of my followers didn't but I Lost two mutals that I really liked. :/"

Callout culture doesn't leave room for growth, change and mistakes. People are written off and blacklisted and not dato a secondo chance.

This is detrimental to causes to imo. It almost makes a (for example) a homophobe feel justified in their hate. Like they got called out and cancelled and received a bunch of hate, now they feel più secure in hating gay people. They now have ammo.

Granted, stuff like homophobia and pedophilia and other stuff should be called out. However, the problem is that people are WAY too quick to toss out labels and innocent people get dragged under. I'm just gonna dig up my personal experience as an example of what I mean.

Already made an articolo about it
Short answer: Do not like it

I'm gonna copy/paste what I wrote on a forum to zan lol

My criticism of liberal "cancel culture" specifically
It’s a head-hunting mission centred on public humiliation, ostracism and guilt da association. It’s antithetical to so much of what the left should be fighting for. Ofc, it’s practical and necessary when it removes an abuser o predator from a cerchio of people. I take no issue with ostracising people for extreme, toxic behaviour. But when I think of cancella culture in its current form, I think of micro-transgressions and microaggressions, rumours, smeared reputations. Cancelling someone for not championing the latest and most respectful terminology is not conducive to alliance-building o solidarity. Like don’t get me wrong, sometimes I recognise the wrongdoing. But I do not condone the response.

Also, as someone who is deeply critical of the prison system, cancella culture jars against the rehabilitation and transformative justice that I we should be fighting for. We need to see the root causes of societal ills. cancella culture, meanwhile, breeds a mentality of guilty until proven innocent, and entrenches norms surrounding punitive punishment and retribution.

Some pop-liberals have adopted a binary mentality of us/them and good/evil. cancella culture allows them to cling to black and white viewpoints, clothed in confirmation bias, and depersonalise complex human beings. Too often, cancelling someone is about clout – that is, furthering one’s own credentials as an activist da highlighting the comparatively poor behaviour of those around you.

Virtue signalling and blind ideological dogma are used to the detriment of humility, compassion and inclusivity. Recently, 150 artists, writers and academics – including Noam Chomsky, a leftist and one of the most cited scholars in the world - signed an link condemning the weakening of public dibattito due to cancella culture. It’s a good read.

A few words on right-wing "cancel culture":
“Cancel culture” exacts just as much among conservatives too. In fact, “cancelling” is a neologism for an old custom; someone is perceived to have committed a transgression, and as a result, loses status and/or support among the public. A boycott, essentially. Ppl like Ben Shapiro like to pretend it’s some new liberal invention, while forgetting that right-wingers have been its main practitioners through most of history (when people transgressed moral “norms”). In living memory, employers regularly fired those suspected of being atheists, gays, o socialists (see especially: the McCarthy era). In the modern day, conservatives have done shit like “cancel” NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick for taking a knew during the national anthem – Trump told the league to "get that son of a cagna off the field right now”, and many boycotted Nike because they dared to feaure Kaepernick in an ad.

The domanda is what is that?

Same why I feel about gossiping, it seems it does più harm than useful.
