Is cancel culture healthy for our society?
Pro
Holds public figures accountable
Important in moderating our delicate social climate
Gives more people a voice
Digital form of boycotting
Anti
Promotes intolerance
Does not actually bring about change
The backlash can be even more harmful than the original issue
Takes away the voice of a person
Concilliatory
Cancel culture can bring about change but it needs to be done in a way that doesn't jump to conclusions.
Cancel culture is good when someone that has done wrong is called-out and not when it is used to protect someone's niche beliefs.
