[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just FYI, if you use "cancel culture" as though it's a real thing, I am going to know you're not seriously engaged in understanding much of anything.[/quote]

Why do you think this isn’t “cancel culture”?[/quote]

Did someone lose a job that was essential to their survival? Does that person have no hope of getting a similar position that will allow them to continue to function in their chosen field?

Or some someone lazy/sloppy about following developments in their field, or deliberately offensive, and are they receiving consequences as a result?[/quote]

My husband is a professor and he is one of the least offensive people in history.  He actually has nightmares about making a mistake and getting “cancelled.”  It is real.[/quote]

He can avoid that by talking to his students in advance about how he wants to be respectful of everyone and make sure he doesn’t make people uncomfortable. He needs to stress that he wants students to let him know if he is accidentally offensive. [/quote]

NP.  Oh, please.  Enough of this babying students and tiptoeing around anything that could be perceived as even a tiny bit offensive.  To anyone who feels the need for "trigger warnings" or "safe spaces" - grow the hell up.  What has happened to our universities?[/quote]
