Me too though luckily I've only learned about Neil Gaiman just before all of this shit broke out.
I think cancel culture might actually be a net good and hear me out. There are a lot of really good people and role models out there but it's a crowded space and we should move quicker with social judgement to sort out the marbles. We still hadn't figured out how to do it in a more organized manner but yeah fuck Neil Gaiman, there are thousands of other brilliant writers who are also great human beings, we should give them space to thrive!
A theory I have is that cancel culture as we will eventually know it will be considered to have simply had a rocky start. Instances where social cancellation is greatly overapplied or underapplied to an unjust degree continue to happen, but to a lesser degree each year it seems.
The social media revolution was a huge shock to popular culture and the social patterns that communicate it. It makes sense that it would take time for society to level out its reactions in response.
Well said! More people need to hear this.
