The difference between cancelling and calling out

Cancel culture doesn’t acknowledge or believe in growth. Judgement outweighs justice, and it has become similar to a witch hunt

- Shraddha Gurung

I was 19 when I first discovered the world of social media, and content creation. It’s been five years, and while the influencer industry boomed, the rise in trolling and online hate also massively grew. “Cancel culture”, as we know it, is now one of the most toxic aspects of social media. While I’ve been lucky enough (so far) to not have encountered it myself, I’ve witnessed, as have you — many fellow creators being cancelled — and it has left a bitter taste in my mouth.
