Tbh, it’s probably best to avoid all together. If you’re feeling nice, it might be worth it to make a sock and reach out to the canceled but otherwise don’t engage.

Same. I may see those lists and just keep scrolling, or block if I go to the blog in question and see legitimately questionable things.

It also depends on what counts as racist to the people making these 'block' lists - which sounds ridiculous but more than often I've checked out the blogs in question that are considered problematic and it turns out to be something blown out of proportion; I once saw someone get accused of being a racist for not writing a fic starring a POC character in a ship (and it wasn't like the writer even said anything against the ship, she just said that she just wanted to focus on her current WIPs involving other characters). Then there are the ones who make those said lists with a vendetta against those particular bloggers they don't like.

There's this one blogger called Memecucker who people really want to claim is racist, because he's opposed to Hindu nationalism, and apparently people think Hindu nationalists are a race now.

Hindu nationalists certainly think they are!

I'm not convinced by cancelling as a concept in the current culture war. On the one hand, it's a huge social pressure to change their views - but they'll only do so out of fear. Is that long lasting change? And when it comes to young people, what damage might that social pressure do?

[(Anonymous)]

I'd rather block the people making these lists. Fuck the fandom police and their subjective view on what's problematic.

[(Anonymous)]

Same.

Like, are SOME of the people who end up on these lists genuinely people I might want to unfollow? Maybe. But the simple fact that someone takes it upon themselves to make a damn list, and then share it around, makes me very sure I want to avoid them.

[(Anonymous)]

This

Cancel culture has become the new bullying. Who says the people making the lists aren't adding people they don't like or who they feel are better artists/writers to push them out of the fandom. I would rather judge a person myself then just trust a list.

+1 forever and ever.

I feel like a lot of people who do cancel culture do so because it's the hot thing to do on the internet right now. Instead of, you know, actually engaging these people, having actual conversations, listenting to their POVs and learning where this behavior comes from.
