Please cancel cancel culture
5 years ago
I am not against cancel culture because I am suddenly turned right wing or so. I am against cancel culture for several reason.
The first one is: Cancel Culture is often operated by those that are NOT in fact involved in the "problem" they want to solve. The decide FOR those affected in any way with the thing that "needs to be changed". So they act like a guardian. this is NOT okay!
the second one is: Often they are enraged about something that was mostly almost forgotten or "normal" in a way that it did not affect those anymore that are now suddenly affected again. Many had NO clue uncle ben's was once to portray rice picking black people. No one I know knew this. everyone thought he was Ben Soandso, founder of the rice factory and they called him uncle in a friendly manner. this is the case with so many things. But suddenly the people are again aware about a lot of new negative meaning because those in Cancel culture movement bring that up again. why?
Third: Also many in CC do not know exactly what those things mean they are angry about. instead of learning the whole meaning they concentrate on the negative aspect, rather than to remind society what the real meaning is.
Four (and most important) Cancel culture will NOT change the problem. Not at all. if you believe because you ban certain words the evil spirit behind it will also be gone to ... than you are naive. dumb and naive and dangerouse. You have to change things by proofing that the message is wrong a word brings about, not the word. If you cancel the word nigger, racists will find another word. YOu may feel better about it, but the racist will not even fucking care. You should change the mind of the racist. Not the word.
Cancel culture is a sad attempt to show "who are the good caring people" , and I will distrust anyone who is a part of it until he proofs to me he cares for more than only remove words or movies or etc.
There is a big problem around with cancel culture. They see often something as hurtful and racist while even more people have NEVER seen them as racist and also never have done anything terrible because of it.
You may change the words,, yes. but most people will just think: Well.. okay.. and is the racist problem solved now?
Hey, let us remove all words, problematic scenes, etc, that could be seen racist or harmful in any other way by anyone. I am sure then we have solved the problem.

These are miserable creatures, who don't wish to make the world a brighter place. They wish to make it as awful and depressing as it is for them, and we have to stand against them
And a decent heart.
