In the second episode of Someone in the Crowd, Sheyda and Sumi break down the complexities of cancel culture—when it works, when it doesn’t, and how it often prevents people from genuinely learning and growing from their mistakes. We delve into the double standards of public outrage, exploring how women and people of color are disproportionately impacted, and question why society holds celebrities to higher standards than those in their personal lives. Plus, we examine the voyeuristic side of cancel culture and its unexpected role in shaping modern parasocial relationships. It’s a thought-provoking conversation on accountability, redemption, and what it truly means to consume media responsibly.
