True, cancel culture in general, whether it works or not, needs to be cancelled. Someone doesn't have to be 100% destroyed for it to be wrong (some people argue that nobody has actually been cancelled which I don't think is a valid argument as damage is still being done).

Are people following hate bandwagons so easily? I have the same feeling. It's like people have bipolar disorder: today we love Ellen, but tomorrow is a hate day.

Are people following hate bandwagons so easily? I don’t think the vitriol against Ellen is warranted but this is a weird argument. People dislike her now because new information has surfaced about her mistreatment of staff. People changing their minds based on new information... is a good thing... right? Isn’t that what anti-cancel culture is about? Growth and changing opinions? headspin, happiness, DE̤̣A̢̯͔̘T͏͙̗̟̫H̗̙͡ͅ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s really no discussion about it. However, she did piss someone off because everyone knew about her being rude forever and no one ever did a thing.

Isn’t that what anti-cancel culture is about? Growth and changing opinions? Agreed - being informed is important. But, I think there's a lot of unconscious bias that comes out when people join in on the cancellation trend of a particular figure, and that more thoughtfulness/critical thinking would go a long way, and less towards immediate extremes. There's a tendency to be way too reactive and without nuance when it comes to these issues. Someone can be problematic and yet not an absolute monster. Everyone is human, and I think there's a desire to paint anyone who f*cks up as not that. It's not helpful and takes away the importance of people who are truly horrible on a totally different level than anything Ellen has done. To those who argue it's "not about" her being gay, well no, not this specific issue; but because of our culture, it is relevant to the discussion of her as a person, and shouldn't be sidelined. It's part of her identity and brand. i don't remember ARTPOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, the tweet below is enough for me to KNOW that that show is run on the backs on underpaid and mistreated employees. I don't believe for a second that she had no idea what's happening with the employees on the show. Besides, she's besties with George Bush, and she's privileged and rich af yes still the below "perks" have just been given to the staff. I think that's enough reasons to hate her and her show. Being a lesbian icon (barf) doesn't mean we have to blindly cheer for her and just because she's under fire doesn't mean there's some bigger conspiracy theory and that someone is "trying to destroy" her.

FrederickSpears 2,113 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I feel like if you're a nasty person, diva and you treat people and your staff badly you're going to eventually be exposed, you know? There had been rumors for quite a long time and finally people started to speak out and now it's out there and Ellen is never going to be seen as that nice person anymore. It's going to be very odd when she tells us all to "Be Kind" at the end of her show. Honestly, I can see the show ending fairly soon. It's time for the show to go. Kelly Clarkson and Wendy Williams are much more entertaining. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
