Since the rise of the public internet in the twenty-first century, it has been followed by the rise of many people in the online social world or web citizens, and as a result, there has been a confluence on social networks for a variety of purposes. When the online community gets together, one thing happens. These citizens, or netizens, band together to form as a detective agency, which researches information on people or stories. as well as assumptions Observe and identify the attention of accused criminals or those suspected of moral defects, as well as when their identities and personal information are revealed online. Many of them, or netizens, have been pursued, verbally abused, and thrown out of the community.
The above scenario is a rough representation of the emergence of a culture in an eastern country similar to “doxxing,” which was later defined globally and in western countries. “Cancel culture,” as it’s known.

“Cancelling” people, removing support for persons and their work because of an opinion or action in response to what some consider to be offensive or problematic words or beliefs, is what cancel culture is all about. It can take numerous forms, including putting pressure on organizations to cancel an individual’s public appearances or engagements, as well as organizing boycotts products of companies which offensive. As the phenomena developed, “cancellation” might become punitive, potentially leading to the termination of a person’s career or mental health. We could also be called it as a new method of public shaming. Is it common today, however, to exercise a radical form of citizen justice or simply to delude people and be intrigued by societal trends to eliminate their dissent?
Cancel culture has recently dominated the news and is trending on social media platforms. Every week, it’s likely to become a big topic, with celebrities, individuals, and political leaders usually becoming the targets. Many of those who have been canceled recently, was who have faced public backlash after being accused of violent, sexist, racist, homophobic, behaviors or words.

Due to claims of sexual abuse, Kevin Spacey was also cancelled. All of his scenes in Ridley Scott’s All the Money in the World were reshot with Christopher Plummer in place of him. When Kevin Spacey was dismissed from the Netflix program House of Cards, the script had to be rewritten quickly.

And, as though it were about how terrible the particular cases were, the impact and severity of being canceled varied. However, the difficulties that have arisen are quite complex, and they are not all equal in terms of prejudice, are not standardized, and are not usually equitable. So making it appear that there are advantages and disadvantages to having a cancel culture. As you are all aware, not everything is always good or bad, and it appears that when we discuss the cancel culture, this is no exception. It is necessary to consider the impact of movement or act in addition to the intention. In positive ways, cancel culture may be used as a tool to help marginalized people seek responsibility when the justice system fails them. It could be the chance to publically call out the name and shame their numerous abusers in a venue where their claims are heard and taken seriously. It may be useful in a variety of situations involving power imbalances. It may also provide a stage for those who are disenfranchised or powerless.
Many who felt that cancel culture is challenged run by progressive youth, including many minorities and women, rather than a new, super-powerful sort of public critique. Because of this phenomenon, Most of them have had the opportunity to engage in discussions about justice and etiquette through social media, and they are fighting back openly to make up for lost time or reclaim power.

It seems work. As in this case, Harvey Weinstein’s show was canceled in the wake of many women’s complaints published in The New York Times. Weinstein was later sentenced to 23 years in jail for rape and sexual assault after many allegations of serious sexual abuse appeared. At first, their allegations had not been taken seriously by the entertainment industry, which the disgraced film producer was perceived to be at the helm of or the authorities in this case. After that, It allowed the women to be heard for the first time by banding together and canceling Weinstein using the power of the media. And, after several incidents, cancel culture appears to have been viewed as a tool capable of bringing about social change, owing to the redrawing of the power balance between businesses and customers, as well as the act of causing people to pay more attention and consider accountability.
However, Cancel culture may not achieve the desired result of people are being held accountable for and conduct many suffering long-term consequences. Many people do not believe in this, and it appears to be a disadvantage of the phenomenon that cancel culture is not productive, does not lead to activism, and does not do result in social change. Making social things is less likely than calling out to be blamed, and shamed. And it can incite violence and threats, as well as lead to online bullying. Also, because of the nature of the internet and the large number of people who use it, things on social media move much faster than reality. this issue leads to the emergence of many Scapegoat and False Accusations and the damage are already emerges and remain beyond the restoration.
As everyone knows, It has never been easier to share our opinions and pass judgment on others than it is now, thanks to social media. Any mistake or misjudgment gets immortalized, and individuals can be extremely brutal when it comes to others’ mistakes.

Consider the following example: Kwon Kwangjin of the former N.flying boyband was thrown after false accusations of sexual harassment were set against him, and he was found not guilty three years later in Korea, which has a strong cancel culture influenced by netizens as well as strict racial binary judgment. However, because of the severe Korean cancel culture, his career was effectively ended from the beginning, and the harm was irreversible and irreparable.
Also, in a situation when there is a lot of debate about whether the reasons for canceling people are valid or not. As a result of the foregoing, it is possible to raise the question of whether this fundamental freedom of expression is under threat. As a result of the example instance of who was cancelled, it is possible to generate fear and limit speech by canceling those social or internet users who disagree. As a result, it conflicts with the fundamental rights in a democratic society that we desire nowadays.
In the age of social media, Social media tend to help people be more radical. The radicalization of social media is greater than that of face-to-face societies because there are more sources of knowledge and because there are more radical individuals in these enormous collectives of people. If you are in a face-to-face group, you can also ignore or expel those who have opposing viewpoints. Alternatively, you might accept some disappointment as a form of compromise. as an alternative to on a social media platform, there are no limitations to selecting a response; people can respond by pressing the block buttons. It has also served as a catalyst for more violent and divisive views when combined with the cancel culture, which fosters both alliances and opposes opponents in the same way. It could think in such a way that it contributes to a tendency that causes society to become more split, to the point where there is no longer any consensus or compromise on disputes and behavioral norms.

Also disagreeing with someone does not imply that individuals should threaten or seek to harm that person, even if they are public figures. Recently the act of cancelling someone is beyond merely ignoring or boycotting them. Even because of something they said or did is morally offensive. While it is true that breaking the rules of public morality can have serious ramifications in real life, this does not imply that people should agree to encourage accept threats to the point where they are potentially dangerous to the person who is making them.
This issue has exploded in recent years as a result of social media’s amplifying capabilities, society’s deep divisions, and the difficulty of fixing long-standing inequalities. The argument about canceling culture is far from ended. Of course, people have the right, and sometimes even the need, to condemn offensive behavior and hate speech. However, everyone should keep in mind that the cancel culture does not always hold people accountable. But, in a positive sense, pointing them out may lead to a more encouraging environment for significant change to occur.
Perhaps in practice, we should continually rethink whether the cancel culture should continue or not. And what was the purpose before manifesting yourself or playing a role through this cancel culture?
