|| I don’t know if it’s just my boring brain or whatever but I’m having a lot of thoughts about cancel culture. +

|| On one hand, I feel like cancel culture is something we need to an extent. We, as a group of people wherever we may be on the internet or otherwise, are holding celebrities and even our peers accountable for their actions. That’s great and we should be anyways. +

|| However, my issue with cancel culture starts with celebrities. I feel like as a celebrity, it is your job to know when to shut up? Does that makes sense? They have this career and they’re held on a “higher pedestal”, and they should know when to just... stop talking? +

|| and if they’re not going to shut up I feel like it is their job as a person who’s in the public eye, to do their research before saying/doing anything. Not to mention why wouldn’t they? Both out of respect for other people and their own careers, right?

|| but when those people are careless and they say something, it’s great that people are holding them accountable for her actions. I totally agree with that. It’s what comes after that, that’s what worries me. +

|| let’s say, for example, a celebrity says derogatory slurs towards gay people (using the example because I’m definitely not straight). If the celebrity were to formally apologize and acknowledge where and why they were wrong, and show long term change +

|| I feel like it doesn’t matter, because people are going to bring it up anyway and try to revive that cancel culture. It just feels like for people who truly do apologize for what they did wrong it could end their entire career. +

|| and I feel like there’s a low tolerance, and rightfully so I get it, however when do we actually start excepting apologies? Like that’s a real question that I have. It is totally valid or people accountable however, when are we excepting apologies from people? Ya know? +

|| Jenna marbles, for example, is someone that I look up to in regards to how she apologizes and how she goes about apologizing. However, people continue to bring stuff up that she’s already apologized for, so when do we start accepting apologies? +

|| or at least acknowledging apologies? This thread isn’t meant to call anyone out, it’s just an overall theme I see here on Twitter. And again, I do believe cancel culture is very valid and we should be holding people responsible, is there a point where we acknowledge apologies?

|| And nobody who has witnessed wrongdoing is expected to except an apology from that person! I understand why someone wouldn’t want to except an apology. Is there a point where we at least acknowledge an apology? That’s a better way of saying it.
