Cancel Culture

A defense for racist snow flakes getting their comeuppance. People pretend its a new phenomenon. The Dixie Chicks faced a backlash for their political comments against Bush Jr. This backlash was considered Patriotic and not Cancel Culture. Roseanne Barr makes racist comments publicly and gets fire and now that is cancel culture. Morgan Wallen gets video taped using a racist epithet but the backlash is condemned as Cancel Culture. In response to the effort to remove monuments celebrating dead traitors of the Confederate States Military that were put up by racists to subjugate African American's, Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz said, “You cannot cancel a culture that love its heroes." Cancel Culture rarely comes up in a discussion that doesn't involve snowflakes whining about how some one bigoted now has to face the consequences of their actions.
I sure hate Cancel culture. My favorite racist star was canceled

Cancel Culture

A phrase invented and used by Republicans to negatively refer to the modification, removal, or reform of certain products, policies, and other things within society in order to stop promoting harmful ideas and stereotypes regarding race, gender, religion, etc. Cancel Culture is a term that pretty much means: "I am mad that I can't be openly racist, sexist, etc. anymore so I am going to throw a tantrum about it."
Dr. Seuss Enterprises: *decides to stop printing a specific 6 Dr. Seuss books because they contain racist and insensitive/offensive imagery*

Racists: "This is ridiculous! Cancel Culture is out of control! I don't care that it was Dr. Seuss Enterprises that made the decision! I am still going to say it was because the Democrats want to control everything so they are ruining my childhood memories of when I got to be as racist as I wanted!"

Cancel Culture

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?

Cancel Culture

A term that has quickly risen in popularity by the crybaby right-wing nut bags after learning that there are actually consequences for their deplorable actions and words. Ironically, these people are strong advocates of capitalism, while spreading misinformation and fearmongering about socialism, crying when people actually vote with their wallets and avoid buying from someone with very shitty morals.

"I can't believe I've become a victim of cancel culture! I have every right to express my support for Nazis! Muh religious freedoms! Its might right to bash the icky gay people!" "Why are my sales declining?" "Damn libtards are too sensitive."

Purity culture

When a bunch of little kids don’t understand that if you don’t like something on the internet you can take measures to avoid it. But they never seem to get it and end up harassing people because of it.

This happens in fandoms when something even the slightest bit controversial is brought up they hop in with how pure and morally correct they are. They like to attack people who they believe to be morally incorrect.

Ex: a problematic ship, art with a character with a slightly different shade skin tone, art with characters that they believe is the incorrect weight, people who ship something that isn’t cannon, and indulging in anything they believe is morally wrong.

All of these kids for that there are people behind those screens. They love throwing the word pedophile any chance they get using little to no evidence. A phrase they love is “they said this *insert slightly racist joke* two years you shouldn’t like them” but they love to remove the fact if they apologized for it or it was clearly a joke. That’s another thing every single questionable JOKE will offend them.

Long story short don’t trust people who are in purity culture they will turn on instantly if they even think you have done something wrong.
“Purity culture kills creativity.”
“Purity culture is used to attack accounts that make ADULT content. Because they believe it is wrong even though it isn’t real.”

counter-culture

A misleading term coined by the music industry and MTV to trick gullible, angsty teenagers into a false sense of rebellion, either against "mainstream" music scenes, society, or at least their parents.

Counter-cultures can range from obscure and "underground" (also another industry trick word) to being popular and mainstream.

When a counter-culture becomes mainstream (such as grunge in the 90's and most recently, emo), it is still marketed as being against the mainstream although music acts of that genre might be flying off the charts. Of course this leads to the more elitist counter-culturists who follow a counter-culture just to impress their friends by following obscure, unpopular and/or cult-favorite music acts.
Common examples of counter-cultures (both mainstream and underground):
Reggae
Punk(that includes you "hardcore" punk types. Don't give me any "but I'm a TRUE Punk because I hate Avril and pop-punk" bullshittery)
Ska
Emo
Raver music
Grunge
Nu Metal
Indie
Techno
Gangsta Rap
Any other offshoot of Punk or Metal in general.

Let me be to the point here:
You're not unique.
You're not profound.
You're not original.

You're a sheep that follows a smaller herd. That's all. I'm not any better but at least I realise it instead of being arrogant to people about my music preferences.
