Hi, I’m new.
I have another name for you. Kosoko Jackson was pressured into cancelling his debut novel “A Place for Wolves” before it was even published because some random claimed it was Islamophobic. Turns out she was wrong, but that didn’t stop the Twitter mob.
Just last month, Alexandra Duncan was pressured into cancelling her book “Ember Days” because she, a white woman, dared to use Gullah culture as an inspiration.
So yeah, it’s a problem. People who “don’t believe in cancel culture” are typically the types to use it against people...like getting someone fired because that person supported the current President.
