Summary
This week we are talking ‘cancel culture’. We dissect wtf even is cancel culture, how, when and if we should cancel people - and at what point does asking for accountability turn into moral bullying.
We discuss our personal experiences being trolled online and the awkward balance of free speech vs the fear of offending people.
Best served with wine + an open mind.
