Cancel Culture is Like Comedy

It is Subjective!
Yeah, I said it. Cancel Culture is based on personal feelings, tastes, or opinions, just like what we think is funny. What is Cancel Culture? Let me define for the not as hip as me. Yes, you can laugh. It is the phenomenon of no longer morally, financially, and/or digitally supporting celebrities, events, songs, films or TV shows, or things that are deemed unacceptable or problematic. (Thank You, Wikipedia) Cancel Culture is not new. For years, I just said "I'm boycotting...", but you know pop culture(Blame the Millenials LoL) and it's naming stuff. And I think arguing or discussing intensely on who & what to cancel is a waste of time.

I use Comedy because it is one of the most negatively passionate debated forms of entertainment of the times. In my experience, people are quick to say or react who's or what is not funny.

How many conversations have you had on favorite comedians? Now, compare that to the conversations on who in comedy that you don't like. I bet dollars to donuts the ratio is off. But comedy is maybe set up that way. There are acceptable levels of heckling & booing that get to pass through. Negativity boosts it sometimes.

Negativity fuels Cancel Culture. Instead if pumping up what we are for or like, we are quick to talk about the stuff & people we are deleting. And it's all based on our experiences, feelings, opinions, & perceptions.

For example, let's talk about the Katy Perry face shoe incident. I looked at the black shoe by itself, could be seen as blackface. And because the racist images put out by Gucci, Burberry, Prada was in the news at the same time, Katy Perry's products were automatically canceled by some. I saw the shoe with the same face in the color, beige and saw a goofy face on a shoe. I couldn't cancel the products. I just don't want her to make face shoes anymore.

That is my subjective feeling. And to argue with me about is futile, in opinion. I mean there are known liars, killers, bigots, rapists, child molesters, sexual harassers & thieves with apologist fans & support.

Save your fuel to pump up those who aren't. Oh wait, that not negative enough to do. Oh well, go take them down. And Cancel Culture, you have unwittingly made your mark in our lexicon & way of debate. Hope, you're proud of yourself.
