#i cant believe im at the point of saying any of this

Can we talk for a second about how extreme cancel culture has gotten? It feels like every week I find out some dirt on a Korean actor came out and before even hearing the public’s response (which will be a brutal attack) the industry cancels that actor out of fear. It really has gone too far. I’m all for believing the victim, I don’t want to say “But what about their career and reputation?” because that’s a lame excuse in any situation but here I am thinking just that when someone is canceled over completely unproven claims. If a crime has been committed it should be thoroughly investigated by the police and private matters should stay private. 

For example, I used to like Ji soo In Strong Woman Do Bong Soon and he was cast out very quickly. Maybe he is a piece of shit, maybe not, I don’t KNOW anything about him. Last I checked nothing was proven and while he did apologize for bullying in school he denied the sexual assault allegations. But whatever, we’re never gonna see him again.

This is a problem because if false accusations are on the rise that will make things so much more difficult for actual victims of actual crimes. The way things are going we’re going to either cancel every single Korean actor or stop believing people when they speak up for themselves. My personal beliefs are that anyone, including celebrities, should face harsh consequences for sexual assault, rape, and violence. School bullying, being a possessive girlfriend, getting a divorce, having a messy end to a relationship, etc. are not anyone’s business.
