Cancel culture can be brilliant when used wisely, but it can also be unnecessarily destructive. Here are a few things to consider.

It can definitely go either way. It’s like fire. It can be very effective but it can also be very destructive. Use wisely. Great post!

Good article. I always wait for actual evidence (or seek to find out what really happened) before jumping on the cancellation bandwagon. I’ve had people screaming at me online for this (usually on Facebook: another reason why I’m glad I left it) but it’s important to me to check the facts and make my own decision, not have it made for me by others. Also if a person has said problematic things in the past but has tried to learn and do better, then those things don’t count as evidence of wrongdoing in whatever the current situation is (and I’ve had people screaming at me for that too).

It’s good to know I’m not alone in this. I was expecting screaming myself, actually. Thanks for your thoughtful words, as always.💖

Ha! Just don’t post your article on Facebook and it’ll all be fine.
There’s an excellent discussion about this on Nimue Brown’s blog, Druidlife, right now.
