Cancel Culture Queers (ft. Meredith Talusan)

This week we have an extra special episode lined up for you featuring an in-depth conversation about cancel culture with author Meredith Talusan. Meredith was one of the first people who challenged Oliver about gatekeeping from community that often comes from cancel culture several years ago, and the trio discuss the influences of their views on this touchy topic. In this episode, Meredith talks about how her time growing up in a dictatorship shaped her views, the role power plays in cancel culture, plagiarism, and how we're often too quick to drag one another. A special thanks to our Cancellation List and above Patreons Megg, I Beauregard, Adrienne Stewart, Diego Sanchez and Siobhan Green for making this episode possible. Learn more about your ad choices.

The pearl clutching about “cancel culture” and “censorship” has become louder and more absurd while also getting more and more play in the media. Journalists Katelyn Burns and Christine Grimaldi see this panic for what it is though: a grift. They take a closer look at these temper tantrums, dispelling myths, laughing at the most outrageous takes, and shedding light on which perspectives are actually being suppressed and left out of the conversation.
