I think anyone would be remiss to assume that a college student, or young adult, isn’t somewhat enthralled in the online drama amongst celebrities and influencers, and I think that it would also be remiss to say that most college students haven’t heard of cancel culture.
So, let’s talk about cancel culture. This generation has collectively decided that we will not tolerate the general malarkey that all previous generations have.
As a generation, we’ve also collectively decided that those whose morals and values are not aligned with good humanness (or our own) are not to be given attention, money, fame or anything that has the ability to further put them on a pedestal and raise their social status.
How do we rank the information to determine whether or not someone is worthy of being cancelled?
In the past few years, we have seen the “cancelling” of multiple influencers. There are numerous different reasons that these individuals were cancelled.
Flirting with young men and inappropriately continuing to pursue them after being told not to, lying and deceiving in order to make a bigger splash for the beauty side of YouTube, and admitting to and talking about grooming minors are just a few of the reasons some found their social presences irreparable.
How is this now affecting the past status-quo within the world that used to basically ignore the sometimes broken morality of influencers? Are the young people of today making sure that everyone is aware that there will never be a time in which we will accept the unacceptable and allow it to continue?
Cancel culture highly affects modern society, but how you contribute to cancel culture is what warrants those affects as either negative or positive.
