Halo, I am Besty. This is my visual essay pitch of BCM 222. The topic I will research in cancel culture.
People are using social media all the time, cancel culture is becoming more common and understood. So what exactly is cancel culture? Let me explain. It is a way of social or group behavior, especially on social media, in which it is common to completely reject or stop supporting someone because they have said or done something offensive to you. Decertification has its place — it helps to call on and purge problematic people from cancel culture. It is our way of exerting some control over an increasingly dangerous and intolerant world.
In cancel culture, we appoint ourselves as arbiters of right and wrong, as well as judge. Also, people will like to use the social media to punish those people.
As we know, Show Lou and Grace Chow incident is a good example. He has become one of the cancel cultures because of his constant scandals and Grace Chow testimony to the media.
In the following research report, I will deeply study the influence of this culture on our arrival and why this phenomenon is so common today. What does this have to do with politics? I hope I can find out.
