Bravo, bravo, bravo for this. It is high time that this is addressed, and it is very helpful. And in the arts of places to have to be defending freedom and divergent thinking! I remember my own brushes with cancellation - although in another field. Dr. Jordan Peterson compares the effects of cancellation on a person as akin to those caused by a serious illness. The psychological effects on the artist are also well described here. I'm encouraged by the work of Rosie, FAIR and others who are banding together and pushing back. It makes me hopeful that sanity can once again be restored, as well as a positive sense of values. Toqueville talks about the importance of citizens establishing civil organizations according to needs in a democracy, and I'm beginning to appreciate their key importance in helping to right a (morally) upset applecart. (the current cancellation phenomenon). Kudos to you and everyone who is doing this - it is crucial work.
