Cancel Culture: the practice or tendency of engaging in mass canceling as a way of expressing disapproval and exerting social pressure.

You probably are not very active on the internet or with any media if you have not heard the term "cancel culture" thrown around. This is a fascinating topic that is decisive across all demographics. Today we discuss a brief history and our personal understanding of cancel culture. We also explore how, when, and why it has transformed over the last decade. 

Access research paper on cancel culture here.

Note: at the time of recording/publishing this episode we want everyone to take time and space to take care of yourselves. There have been multiple mass shootings, the murder of Tyre Nichols recently occurred, and there are countless bills being proposed to harm people. We encourage those we are able to keep fighting and also make sure you are able to survive as well.

Hello!

Checking in at 8:36 PM on New Years' Eve 2022. We are excited about what next year will bring and want to let any and everyone listening know that we intend to commit more time to this podcast and to be more consistent. No, this is not a "resolution" it just so happens we are making these decisions around the start of 2023... okay... :D

We want to expand beyond single words and might have more direct references to topics but our intention is to keep it similar. Dirty Words is just a few friends talking about their thoughts and opinions on pop culture and politics. Occasionally we hope to bring in guests as we did with our Suicide episode because there are a lot of other people who have really important things to say and share. 

Thank you for joining and/or sticking around and get ready for Season 2 of Dirty Words!!
