Right wing device used to delegitimize concerns of racism, sexism, and other forms of bigotry as being nothing more than jokes. There is a way to joke about the absurdity of bigotry; there is also a way to out yourself as a racist. People who get offended about the other side not accepting their bigotry will cry about cancel culture. It is the scarecrow or the distraction tactic used by the right to not make conscious efforts in changing this toxic mentality.
If cancel culture is a problem; how about we first talk about what is being cancelled and if it is deserving of cancellation. After all, no one is forcing you to participate or watch. You can always change the channel. When you switch the channel, you are cancelling that tv program. So what’s the problem irl, to tell folks you don’t accept their bigotry and that you are walking away from them?
