| Immersiveunreality said: I'm starting to get really sick of all this cancelling about the slightest problematic shit and mostly being done by people that are far worse and are mostly not a part of those that should be offended. The Jenna Marbles thing this week broke my heart,she made racially offending but not meant to be offending jokes years and years ago and people now bring it up as a reason for why she should be destroyed while she was always such a sweet person. |
To be fair, Jenna Marbles kind of cancelled herself and I think that demonstrates the opposite of what you are trying to say. She recognized the harm of her behaviors, apologized for them, and decided to take a step back from Youtube because she wasn't having fun and she didn't want to have a negative impact on people. She didn't need to do it, and there wasn't an angry mob demanding she do it. If you check her social blade account, you'll see that she lost no subscribers, and in fact gained 100k subscribers. She made the decision on her own.
I think that "cancelling" someone, as a phrase, has lost almost all of its meaning. The scope of the phrase has become far too broad. It seems to have become the new bogeyman, in place of "SJW" for people to rail against the "snowflakes" while saying nothing of actual importance...
