Approaching Americans are tired of “cancelling culture.”
According to the result of a survey through Morning Consult and Politico, 46% of respondents say that “the culture of cancellation” has gone too far in its influence. The term, synonymous with organizational shame, is used to describe widespread court cases on the Internet that lead to the dismissal of an individual or the elimination of a policy.
A quarter of respondents said they had no opinion or did not know the concept. Politico noted that this progression is additional, as it controls that a transparent majority opposes the phenomenon of social media once this organization is removed from the review.
The survey, conducted from 17 to 1 July between the 1st of the registered voters of ninenine1, also found that 4% of respondents felt that the consequences of “cancellation of culture” had a net negative effect on society. However, 27% of other Americans responded that the net trend had a positive or “very” positive influence on the country.
The poll finds that online shame is a more common practice among Democrats than among Republicans. Half of those who knew themselves as Democrats said they expressed disgust with public figures on Twitter, while about a third of Republicans said they participated in the activity. A total of 40% of respondents said they had participated in a “cancellation culture” at one time or another, and only 10% said they were actively ashamed of online numbers.
Members of the public are also more likely to be forgiving then social media firebrands. Fifty-four percent of respondents said “problematic statements” made one year ago would change their opinions, but comments made as far back as 15 years ago would sway the opinions of only 26% of people.
The margin of error is about 2 points.
