Cancel Culture
The rise of “cancel culture” and the idea of canceling someone comes mainly from social media. The plot generally goes like : ‘A celebrity or influential person does something which is considered wrong socially’- ‘This results in a public outrage on social media demanding justice (If anyone is affected) and an explanation/ apology for the act’ – and lastly ‘Everyone moves on from the situation.’
Cancel culture started as a trend to effectively hold influential people accountable for their mistakes and wrong doing.
However, in the recent times cancel culture has become the most toxic trends existing on social media (even more than the tide pod challenge) due to the fact that it has evolved from holding people accountable for their mistakes to death threats, rape threats, Doxing and cyber bullying.
The public on twitter trying to cancel a celebrity no longer wants too see a reform in the celebrity, what they want to see is the celebrity being cancelled, be trolled and be dehumanized for committing that wrong.

The tweet was well received by the community, maybe due to the fact that Logan Paul is an apt example of one of the few persons who made it out of cancel culture and have shown genuine change but still blind receive hate for their past.
