Yoon Suin and Orientalism
Saw this posted to Mastodon and I thought it was worth sharing.
You're viewing a single thread.
They are arming up and trying to cancel Yoon Suin again.
They have been shot down in the past. They keep trying to find fault.
"Cancelling" is not a thing.
I am not saying that this article is good (I am not saying it's bad either), but this article doesn't even say "Orientalism = Yoon-Suin = bad", and even if it was, there still would not be any "cancelling" going on. Because it's not a thing, just something people came up with to enforce their image of "culture wars".
Cancelling is totally a thing and it's disengenuious to pretend it isn't. A few years ago progressives were even using "cancel" as a verb when annoyed with someone.
This isn't to say that anyone who faces consequences for their actions has been cancelled, sometimes it's simply their employer or someone else that makes the decision to cut ties, but the idea of the social media pile on was once known as "cancelling" by the people doing it.
Sure but this is not an example of that.
