educating ≠ cancelling; a very necessary thread.
disclaimer !! everyone is entitled to their own opinion. everyone is going to feel different either way !! you do not have to change your opinions over this, this is just something that i thought needed to be said
please understand the difference between cancelling and educating, or even just holding people accountable. there’s this stigma that if anyone gets called out for anything they’re immediately “cancelled” this is false. the majority of the time, people simply want people
to acknowledge and apologize for what they did. you cancel someone like 6ix9ine, who is a racist pedophile. but even then “cancelling” means to stop supporting and giving your energy to that person. it does NOT mean sending death threats, doxxing, or sending hate.
and yes while i know that there are people who immediately want to cancel someone for making minor mistakes. we’re all human, we all make mistakes. that doesn’t mean that someone should be deplatformed because they did something that you would laugh at in private.
but everyone is also entitled to their own opinion. something that may not upset you may upset another person. especially those personally affected by what may have happened. you can’t tell people how to feel if it doesn’t necessarily pertain to you.
please don’t ever speak over actual affected communities. if that certain community that was affected by what someone did, do not try to make an issue out of it if those communities are not deeming it offensive. it’s okay to speak up !! just not over the actual communities.
we should always try to educate people, but don’t waste unnecessary time looking for things. if that person isn’t actively harming anyone or engaging in any offensive activities, there’s no reason for you to search for something to be mad at. it’s silly. it’s not right.
speak up against people who make continuous mistakes. people that have been educated but refuse to learn. those are people that need to be called out the most, because they choose to be ignorant and choose to ignore the people educating them.
with that being said however, always use your voice and speak up against things that you think aren’t right. you have that power. just remember that educating ≠ cancelling. just please don’t dedicate so much of your time to try and make a person that’s
not actively hurting a community and being problematic. but if they are, then yes of course call them out !! influencers as well as normal people need to get used to addressing things that people ask them to address that they found offensive.
anyway, this was just a little rant. at the end of the day, you should always do what’s right in your heart, that’s the most important thing. if you’re down here, hi! i hope your day is going well :)
