Like being awkward with fans, posting too much/not enough on social media, having boundaries, etc. Like there are authors who are actual criminals yall.

I’m not supporting bigotry of any kind but how is cancelling someone going to foster any progress for discussion and open-mindedness

I’ve seen some people cancel authors for past things that they acknowledged was wrong and learned from. People forget that authors ( and people in general) are HUMAN

Don’t know why people are downvoting. Authors are allowed to be awkward and human.

i say we stop "cancelling" and we actually just hold people accountable for their actions. bc yea nobody is perfect but especially when you are in the public eye you need to acknowledge mistakes that you make and grow from them.

I think if it’s a horrific crime or real bigotry it should be justified 😊

The thing about this little “cancel culture” thing is that people don’t even wanna hear it. Even if they apologize and change their behaviour, they still want to hold it over their head and never let them forget it. I find it find it funny how it’s always older generations they’re trying to cancel EVEN DEAD PEOPLE. Never anyone that’s popular at the moment, unless it’s a regular person who’s gone viral and they want to pull up stuff they said and done when they were 13.
