Major takeaways
The problem with blindly advocating Cancel Culture is that the internet isn’t always right and that not all crimes have the same severity. It takes only a few hours for internet users to organise mass mobilisations against allegations and accusations. Countless vigilantes descend upon the targeted profiles, decrying everything the offender has ever done. In those vicious echo-chambers, nobody stops to verify the claims or to ponder over the philosophical implications of their actions. They are out for blood.
It is fine if someone does not want to watch or read a piece of work because they do not agree with the expressed views but attempting to prevent others from doing the same is nothing less than authoritarian censorship and it should be condemned as such.
Sweeping declarations calling for censorship or furious responses in defence of rapists will no longer work, they will only contribute to the extremely divisive nature of social media platforms.
KTT, please tell me.
Is it OK to expect artists to be paragons of morality?

Not really the best example considering millions of people want Amber Heard dead right now
Your perceptions of art are based on how you consume it.
Never at any point should your opinion and tastes be based on the general public’s opinion. There’s a big problem in media consumption in which people dismiss an artist without actually giving a 100% try on their work. The moment your opinion of art is based on something the artist did as oppose to their work is when you warp the line between art and artist. Just because you’ve heard people say they don’t like something doesn’t mean you don’t like it. It means you’re too lazy to form an opinion and afraid of being excluded.

he got removed from the fantastic beasts film and replaced by Mads Mikkelsen. Also, he had just lost his court case (this year) which caused the effect of him being removed from his upcoming projects.

ok so he went to court
it's not "cancel culture"
it's losing a court case; which is something that has been around since before either of us was born

and hollywood is cancelling him... when the evidence is stacking up that Amber is lying. Yet, Hollywood is continuing to give her a career.
