It’s a fact of life that, at least for the time being, we live in a cancel culture.
One false move and you’re bound to get in trouble from all sorts of people who hold very strong opinions about any number of topics.
But I guess some things deserve to be canceled, right?
What would you cancel if you had the power?
Here’s what AskReddit users had to say about this.
1. A good idea.
“Extremism in all its forms.
Including far left and far right extremism.”
2. History lesson.
“Political parties in general.
When the US was founded, its founders warned that if political parties existed, they would cause our country to be divided and conquered by politicians.
I believe that’s why there’s so much division in this country.
At least that’s part of it.”
3. Definitely some truth to this.
“Cancel culture.
Just shut the f**k up and let people live their lives.
Not everyone is evil and deserving of being canceled.
Satire is still a thing, don’t get worked up over nothing.”
4. Time to evolve.
“Animal agriculture.
It’s cruel and destructive, time to evolve.”
5. I can’t stand this stuff.
“Sports talk channels.
They are always on at the gym and some of the topics I see on the screen are inane, to be kind.
The worst part is that the commentators seem to go on for hours about this silly bulls**t.
I guess someone likes it but I think this trend of analyzing every possible scenario and detail about sports kind of misses the point.
It’s a game, we like to play and we like to watch, why can’t we leave it at that?”
6. What’s more important?
“Huge overblown expensive weddings that no one can afford.
Just put on your best frock or suit, get someone to marry you in your church/courthouse and have a nice meal with your close friends and family.
The ‘wedding’ has become more important that the ‘marriage’.”
7. All gone!
“All personal debt. Not amongst world governments.
I just wish no individual owed any financial institution any amount of money.”
8. Really?
“The Simpsons.
Put them out of their misery, please.”
9. To each their own.
“Forcing people to subscribe to your beliefs even if you do think it’s unprogressive.
The whole world can’t think like you nor do they live for you.”
10. A rough one.
“Type 1 diabetes.
I h**e seeing my mom suffer through all the complications it’s brought her.
Sometimes it doesn’t matter how well you take care of yourself, the disease always wins.”
11. Yup.
“The constant and ever-increasing hyperbole we’re all exposed to.
Nothing can ever just be bad anymore, it has to be the literal worst thing that has ever happened to any human being in history.
Nothing can ever just be fun anymore, it has to be the most epic, monumentally awesome thing that’s ever happened to you. It’s ridiculous.”
12. I’m with you 100%.
“Celebrity culture. Especially useless ones like the Kardashians.
I read a while ago that people were donating money to Khloe(?) Kardashian to make her the youngest female billionaire.
Like, seriously??”
13. That’s the dream.
“I would cancel partisan politics.
Your entire job is to work together for the betterment of all.
As soon as you decide that instead of working together you’re just going to obstruct, you’re gone.”
Okay, now we want to hear from you.
What would you cancel if you had the power?
