I have seen so many fandoms talking bad about another fandoms artist. They look at their every move, especially K-pop stans. If you don’t know what K-pop stans are they’re basically the fandom of different Korean boy or girl groups. The fandoms SOMETIMES are very toxic because they target one person from the group and make fun of them or they search up past mistakes that they did to cancel them, and then they try to cancel not just the person that they specifically targeted but the entire group. The bigger the group, the bigger the fandom, the bigger hate you get by other fandoms trying to cancel that specific group. For example BTS is the biggest boy group right now they have a big fandom but with that comes a big amount of haters that are trying to cancel them. Which BTS’s fandom will try and fight back and protect them by bashing the other fandoms group. It creates a lot of toxicity in the K-pop community since everyone thinks their group is superior or better than the other.

How do I know this? Well because I experienced it myself. Cancel culture is very toxic especially for the Korean groups. Fandoms from other groups tend to send a lot of death threats, and call out the groups past mistakes. Sometimes they even target one specific member from a group, and they just send a bunch of hate, sometimes it evens results to that artist committing suicide...sadly. What do I think of this? Well from what I have seen it is such a horrible thing, and I’m thankful to say that I was never one of those people who sent death threats to any person. People should just enjoy the art that their artist makes and not bash other artists/fandoms by pointing out their negative sides. I know if every fandom concentrated on their own group there wouldn't be as much toxicity, but sadly people don’t mind their business. 

With the information that I gave you I want you to understand that not every K-pop stan is bad, and that not all fandoms are bad, BUT it is very toxic. There will be bad people in fandoms but most of them are good people as long as you don't talk bad about their favorite artist because they will come for you if you do. Cancel culture can come in many different forms, for example spreading rumors, sending death threats, bringing up someones past mistakes, etc..People change throughout the years, but once people start cancelling you it’s hard to make an apology. To avoid all of the toxicity that people bring either don’t be a part of the fandom or just don’t engage with people that are spreading toxicity, and just enjoy your artist’s music. Which you should be doing in the first place and not having an argument with some random person on twitter about which group is better.

somebody either stating an opinion or their point of view on a certain situation.

Also there’s this thing with looking at something a person did or said in their past when they most likely didn’t know any better and were probably just making a joke , Cancel culture will use that against them and attempt to soil that persons image or career.

I think most of the time this is unnecessary and uncalled for. considering that everybody has said or done some thing that was wrong and later understood that it was not a good decision they made . I think people should take a step back and be more empathetic when judging someone else’s decisions.

It’s best when people think about trying to cancel somebody for something that is not important or useful in their own life they should try and remember a time they might have done something that wasn’t the best and learned from it and let other people do the same.

In my opinion cancel culture is simply not necessary as well as toxic so you can say I am anti-cancel culture. There are people who genuinely care about what other artists have done and want to do something about it. Then there are those who do it out of self interest, to feel and look better because showing they were active in any type of activism is something that simply elevates you to seeming like a good person informant of many. Even if the activism is as dumb as tweeting out something about a problematic artist and that tweet getting many likes. This type of engagement is considered activism, even if it’s doing nothing but feeding one's self ego and interest. 

If you truly care about a topic, if you aren't trying to get recognition then cancelling people isn't what you should be doing. There is so much better stuff you can do that shows you care. You can sign petitions, march, get a job that actually has some part in any type of activism or help. Cancel culture is just there to make many feel better about themselves and act as if they have done change when in reality they haven't done anything. If you care then you will do something, if you don't then just keep doing what you're doing, canceling.

When we cancel someone we try to hold them accountable for their actions and make them see why they are in the wrong. The down side to this is that some people go overboard and do things like dig up their past or wait for them to slip up in the present. There is no point in bringing up something someone did 5 years ago because who they were back then and who they are now can be a completely different person. Not believing people can change is an indication of who you truly are as a person and your standpoint in this argument. That just shows that you don’t think people are good or that they can change and that makes you a part of the problem with cancelling people. 

If you don’t support someone then just leave them alone. I don't see a point in people wasting their time to prove why they shouldn’t be supported. Instead of spending all that time cancelling them, I think we should try to educate them. We should show and explain to artists why their actions were or are hurtful. Us as a society can’t go around cancelling everyone who says or does something disrespectful because then we will be stuck in this toxic cycle of hating on people. 

Cancel culture is most commonly brought up nowadays with bringing up peoples past and if they find something they don’t like, they choose to cancel the specific person.This is a way of people using their freedom of speech to get what they want. Cancel culture is usually used to end people’s careers, silence people they choose to go against and to remove followers/clout from those who have bigger platforms. But, what's the point of bringing up the past to cancel people?

Canceling someone nowadays is almost like boycotting them or their platform.For example, people get canceled for things like being supporting negative people, being homophopic or making homophobic slurs ,saying racial slurs to or about someone and lastly not showing empathy for sensitive situations. Some examples of people who have been canceled for these things are Kanye West, he got canceled for supportig Donald Trump when the majority of people in the United States disagreed with him and his actions and decided to cancel him for doing so. Another person that was canceled was Kevin Hart, he was seen tweeting homophic saying/slurs and many people didn’t agree with what he was saying and felt he was wrong and decided to cancel him in general. Basically what i am saying is that if you do anything similar to this, you are just asking to me cancled by the people on social media.

The main reason why i said cancel culture is toxic is because all you are doing is lowering the person's social status or removing some followers from their platform but what does it really do? When a person (especially celebrities) get cancelled they get lots of backlash and people tend to do things like gain others to go against them, sabotage them, or even make threats to the specific person or their family, and my main question is what do you gain from that?

In conclusion, i think that if you dont agree with something someone says or does instead of “canceling them” you should just simply choose to not support them or their work. I think that it makes things alot easier and it doesnt allow other people’s opinions to feel invalid if you are trying to cancel someone they support.
