@Phorm Honestly? There have been individual instances that have bothered, even angered me. On the other hand, I think it's a big red flag if they're *generalizing* that broadly and can't even concede that there's a reason people get "canceled"...
It's the new political correctness. It's a boogeyman they get to parade around to stoke fear - Fear that those with privilege and comfort might have to pay consequences.
I don't deny that there's a lot flying around right now, and it's extremely complex in certain situations - But people making a blanket statement like "Cancel Culture is ruining everything!!" seem to be more on the side of "OH FUCK PLEASE DON'T CHANGE THE STATUS QUO!"
