Is Cancel Culture Harmful?? - Page 3

See I'm not against cancelling things which are problematic in the first place but this boycotting entire organisations or commodity coz someone involved in it made a statement u don't like..is it correct.

Bollywood Actors and Movie get cancelled everyday some examples i found really wrong were:

Cancel Chappak after Deepika went to JNU or cancel Aamir Khan movies after his statement about increasing intolerance in the country....people have every right to criticise these actors if they don't agree with their thoughts but then why cancel their movies...they've been already shot these actors have already taken home their paycheck there's nothing wrong with the film itself, so who will suffer now the rest of the team involved in the film , PVR that had them on....these movement don't last long enough to make any difference to the career but these short term Boycott movements often impact people who weren't at fault anyway.....with Padmavat even, although some section had problem with the product so it made sense but the violence that ensued was problematic

Moving away from bollywood

Any one remembers the Tanisq ad controversy for their Ekvatam campaign....they had to increase security on their stores and BoycottTanishq trended all over

The JK Rowling controversy...I mean she's absolutely wrong for saying what she did but then the Harry Potter series has translated larger than life and there are so many other people involved with various HP related stuff ,this was a part of my childhood . Is it correct to cancel an entire franchise over one opinion,

there's so much more to these things than an individual and all of us do say some seriously problematic stuff but is it okay to ostracize someone for something they said forever

Please Do share your opinions nd add in examples if u can recall

Hey guys would love to hear ur thoughts on this

I am probably the wrong person to be talking about it because I dont watch very many Bollywood movies.

But my view is movies should be watched for its entertainment value and be judged on the content and actors should be just actors rather than being selective activists.

I'm talking about cancel culture in general not just pertaining to movies and entertainment only

Like the JK Rowling issue...she tweeted something nd people didn't like it (it was problematic tbh) but does that mean u will cancel everything that' related to her....no matter how many people except her were involved in it

The Goya Food issues cancelling an entire company coz the founder said supports Trump...is that valid.

Should we be condemning people for not having similar opinions

Shreya ki game ka boycott karo😈

For me, this can be based on scenarios....

For example if an actor./ star acts haughty and ghamandi stating that v make movies/shows....if fans/audience do not wish to watch dont do so...v dont force them to come to watch....they need to know that the celebrity that they r is because of the fans.......

if boycott is because of a wrong portrayal....can make sense sometimes....

the stas/celebrities/media...all play an important role in the society...so if they enjoy this...they should be responsible too......

if movies/shows take some depiction from real life....they impact the lives of people too......

I totally agree with your point.

Cancelling a movie like chappak was totally unjustified. Also, how they started saying how a particular religion is highlighted and not was something i couldn't understand. The movie was about a acid attack victim and it should not be categorised due to political and religious reasons.

People tend to cancel anything that they don't agree with which i find really intolerant

The intolerance level is too much now adays.

People criticizes movies shows without even watching it. It's too weird tbh

Cancel culture isn't just toxic, it's turned into an absolute joke. While I think that people should be held accountable for their actions, cancelling them is completely different and honestly, what does it really amount to save for a few weeks of Twitter drama? If you "cancel" everyone, the media industry as a whole would cease to exist.

It does seem like we'll end cancelling everyone...I mean as human we're bound to make mistakes..nd saying some really stupid shit....so everytime someone does nd u cancel them there won't be people left

I've even observed that often people dig into SM nd find 10 years old tweets or post to cancel a person as if the said person can't nd wouldn't have had any growth in life
