can we erase the idea of what canceling is off of twitter and just start over because some of y’all REALLY CANNOT TELL WHAT IS AND WHAT ISNT CANCELING ITS EMBARRASSING
holding people accountable =/= canceling
educating =/= canceling
explaining why something is offensive =/= canceling
yeah, some people do deserve to be canceled because of their repetitive ‘mistakes,’ but most of the time when someone does something offensive-

-there’s a very high chance that people are going to make educational and awareness threads before anything else. people are going to address the problem, explain what is wrong, and attempt to confront that person and hold them accountable. that is healthy and normal.
a lot of people go straight to being defensive, which i can understand to an extent. you love & support your fav, but that doesn’t excuse you from attacking a minority just because you want your fav to be perfect. they are never going to be perfect. if they fuck up, they fuck up.
if you GENUINELY love and support them, hold them accountable. you have to put your morals before your ‘online persona.’ i’m typing this now and i feel like i go on this rant all the time but i literally witness people being excessively defensive all the time
that being said, i personally don’t think cancel culture is toxic because of the people who feel the need to cancel certain others, but it’s toxic because people don’t actually know the difference between healthy and deserved confrontation vs canceling. okay i’m done now lol
PSA if you’re neurodivergent and you have trouble reading tone or genuinely cannot tell the difference between the two, this thread isn’t pointed at you. i’m not angry at you, i promise. this is for privileged people who back up their faves no matter what they do.
