I been thinking about the difference between calling out or debating behaviour one disagrees with and cancel culture. I been seeing a bit of cancel culture going around and it just got me thinking.

Cancel culture is a form of bullying, regardless of intentions- that's my hot take. Personally, I steer clear of it to keep myself right and shut it down if others try it with me. While yeah, it's a duty to protect other people from things like serious harm (i.e. abuse or deception)- it opens up doors to hate, backbiting, slandering and defamation. It's how you dehumanise someone, how rumours can spread and it easily discourages people from practicing discernment.

That doesn't mean we can't speak up for other forms of justice. There are ways to challenge poor behaviour peacefully, directly or privately without the need to cancel people or backbite. Speak up for yourself, advocate for what your values are without bringing someone down or challenge the person's behaviour directly, report them if need be. There's room for building understanding and guiding others in a peaceful way. Heck, you can even distance yourself from people if they don't align with your morals and values.

Also, what one sees in an individual, others may not have observed or paid attention to. They may have had a different experience with the person. That judgement towards those who aren't even involved of_"Oh so you condone this behaviour, because you interact with so and so, and they're bad individuals."_ is crazy work, when they're innocent. It's essentially lumping people together, just because they don't want to concern themselves in drama or because they judge by what's apparent. Doesn't mean that they support or condone certain actions.

All in all, as someone who's been on both ends of cancel culture in the past, I loathe it because to me it's a form of gossip, backbiting, and it's clique behaviour. I can't respect it. Bashing someone publically or spreading awareness about their sins through backbiting them to others is not worth the energy- in fact it speaks volumes about the person encouraging it when they have their own sins to worry about. One can easily become the exact thing they're criticising in others, similar or worse. Publically criticising someone's wrongdoings or backbiting them to others doesn't make anyone right.

That's my waffling vent done for the evening. Tldr: cancel culture is a no no.

just a tawll self aware caring sharam haya wala bnda ....is it too much to ask for ? 😪🤧
