      @@LukeAlexander You're right. I feel cancel culture really exists to hold people accountable and to hope that they learn from the situation.

  • @alexey5481
    @alexey5481 4 роки тому +46

    one of my least favorite things about cancel culture .. people act like they are endowed with some absolute moral authority.. you know its not like we are 'cancelling' the Montgomery bus system to protest Jim Crow, we're canceling individuals who have made, by and large, very human mistakes that are often not illegal. I'm not talking about JH and her nasty lipsticks, but rather cancelling an influencer for a lie. Theres never a dialogue, but rather a quasi-authoritarian silencing of any discourse, even if it isn't complete dissent or agreement. This is, in my opinion, a reflection of grander authoritarian leanings of the youth. It reminds me of SJWs on Tumblr, circle jerking their crude and under-researched arguments, and viciously attacking anyone who disagrees -- even minutely. Its a transmission of a sentiment to another place, another action, which ultimately must be addressed: intolerance.
    For instance, with regard to the insensitive racial humor of SD, or KH's tweets, I think what many young people fail to realize (I'm closer to 30 than 20, so I'm a bit older than the main demographic which participates in cancel culture) is that what was acceptable at that time was different. Its called the Overton Window. Social justice efforts of the past 5 or so years have taught many white people that a lot of the things they do are indeed racist, and they have moved that Overton window. And that's the thing -- Shane most likely did not intend to be racist. But, because culture then was more explicitly racist, and racial sensitivity just wasn't a thing, Shane produced something he thought was funny and was also racist. Is it an excuse? Sorta, yeah. I said some insensitive things in my youth, and saying homophobic and racist things were common parlance for the youth in that era. But, I'm not a bigot. Young people of today are FAR more educated on these matters than the youth of 10 years ago. This walking around with a 2019 meter stick, measuring people's past actions, and then crucifying them misses an obvious positive -- that person isn't like that today, creating that today, saying those things today. They did that at a time when it was common.

    I really didn’t want to do this because i know i’m going to be attacked but why should white people decide what is racist/ offensive to black people? The only reason why Jefree Star has millions of subscribers are because they are not black. Therefore not offended and have indifference towards this topic. If his majority of subscribers were black people, he wouldn’t of gotten away with it as easily. I don’t need people, with completely different experiences from me (as a Black-British person) to tell me whether or not i should be offended. Just as I suspected, even knowing Shane still profits off of caricatures portraying someone like me, in a disgusting light, people still give him the benefit of the doubt. If someone said remarks about LGBTQ community, they’d be cancelled without thought regardless of how the person has changed. The person you showed who got cancelled for what they did to their dog, more people care about dogs then racist comments/actions. Would people forgive them if they “changed”? Probably not. Actions like Jeffree Star’s and Shane perpetuatuate racism and makes their audience think it’s no big deal. Which is fine for non- black people but i’m not so lucky as i’m on the receiving end of this. I do respect your opinion though, and i’m just offering a different perspective. This is also just MY OPINION.

      I think it goes both ways in most cases I think a white and black persons could see a white supremacist saying racist slurs and both be able to call out the obvious racism since it is so blatant but when it comes to more discrete possible racism I think it’s okay for everyone to have their own opinion. Since as soon as they see it no matter what color they are they will already have any opinions BUT that doesn’t mean ppl (any) should tell anyone especially the person the racism is targeted at that they should be offended and by not being they are part of the cause. I do also believe tho that you could have done a racist thing and not be an actual racist. It’s important to not throw it around since it is a big issue and over labeling ppl could make it seem like a total joke when a real racist comes around.

    I think a big issue is what you mentioned about people just jumping on the bandwagon and cancelling people with no question. If you don't like someone I feel like you can just remove them from your life and "cancel" them in your eyes without making a huge scene or celebrating their failure. All the channels that stream people's subscriber count going down and celebrate that so much are really not making themselves look any better than a lot of the people they're cancelling. Even if the person has really done something worthy of being "cancelled", i just feel like taking pleasure in other people's misery is a really messed up thing and kind of a pathetic way to live.

    Excellent video Luke!! I started mental health nursing in 2005 at 18 when social media was in its infancy, I have to say social media is not always negative it has its perks and value but on the other hand almost 15 years later it's pretty shocking to see the negative impact online shaming, trolling and harassment has had on young people. Painfully at times to the point of suicide. I held my breath when Tati made that video. This was a 37 year old woman self imploding over gummy bears to the point she incited mass hate towards a 19 year old and character assassinating accusations with no proof. To me that's a predator. I'm not a fan of either however I think there was a great learning curve in it. Thanks for highlighting these issues.

    tbh I feel like you're wrong about the Kevin Hart thing. He did apologize for that multiple times...he showed he was sorry and did not make the mistake again. I don't believe he owes some organization to apologise yet again for something that should be left in the past. People should be able to move on from their mistakes and not have to go over them more times than necessary.

      @@Maddysublime Nope, I just didn't understand what you were initially trying to say and I was really only replying to OP, if I'm honest. I looked into the Lil Nas X situation, though and... well, I just thought 'Is that it?' Don't get me wrong, Hart comes off as extremely naive to think that being gay and growing up in the hood is a walk in the park, but other than that most articles and Twitter (unsuprisingly) blew a 2 minute exchange out of proportion. If anything I think his 'so what' comment that got everyone up in arms meant to ME, as 'Why should people care about that now?'
      Plus Luke, made it seem he never apologized for what he said. I don't know if he meant when the Oscars told him to or not at all.

    Kevin Hart apolozied many a time before. He was forced to do it AGAIN to be able to host. That’s blackmail. Cancel culture is ABSOLUTELY toxic. Calling people out and demanding them change is one thing. That’s healthy and should happen. But not letting people bounce back after they have righted their wrongs? That’s the problem right there. I don’t agree fully with your commentary - it’s a little immature for my taste I think. And to be fair, I mean just on some topics. On others, I seem to agree with you.

You can also show some of the lasting damages done by cancel culture on certain people. Lastly you could also shed light to the masses on the differences between ILLEGAL actions (criminal wrong doing with deserves cancelation) and IMMORAL actions (behaviors that may be perceived as wrong according to one's own beliefs and may result in the individual canceling them), correct me if I'm wrong on the above terms but I think it could bring some clarity on how different these immoral vs illegal cancels actually are.
