If Twitter were to close down suddenly, what would happen to cancel culture?
We're used to thinking of it as an internet phenomenon, but it's mostly just Twitter. Even when the person targeted is a YouTuber, you won't see the cancel mob form on YouTube. All the outrage, all the angry calls for blood, still Twitter territory.
I can only assume it turned out like this because of how massively hypocritical Twitter has been in enforcing their rules. After all, what is cancel culture if not harassment on a wide scale, but harassment is supposedly not allowed on Twitter.
@alyx this stuff is NOT limited to twitter.
You should see what monads.online and the rest of canceldon (we call them that for a reason) get up to.
Hell, a lot of the eris/kiwifarms debate can be boiled down to "poast, fse, and kiwifarms canceled eris for attempting to cancel kiwifarms."
It's like saying america is the country of ignorance. America may be the poster child for stupid, but that's at least in part because they're so VISIBLE.
It gets noticed more there cuz there're more eyes on it, but it's not a platform-exclusive pattern of behavior by any means.

@alyx yes, but as I already mentioned, that is because it IS bigger.
