Cancelling by [[Contrapoints]] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjMPJVmXxV8 Transcript: https://www.contrapoints.com/transcripts/canceling

  • Cancel Culture Tropes
    1. Presumption of Guilt
      • “accusation is proof enough”
      • “believe victims"
    2. Abstraction
      • Replaces the specific, concrete details of a claim with a vague abstraction
        • “Tati accuses James of trying to trick straight men into thinking they’re gay” becomes “James is toxic and manipulative"
          • The main call-out was actually that James endorsed a competing hair vitamin product
        • Accusation becomes fact. Specific action replaced with vague idea. Actions becomes being (tried to becomes “is”).
        • Vague idea possibly has very different connotations. “Sexual preditor” calls to mind very different actions than “tried to trick gay men into thinking they’re gay"
    3. Essentialism
      • Move from criticising actions to criticising the person themselves.
    4. Psudo-moralism or Pseudo-intellectualism
      • People are really interested in the drama and schaudenfreud, not their commitment to moral or intellectual standards.
    5. No Forgiveness
    6. The Transitive Property of Cancellation
    7. Dualism
