Fucking Cancelled

In Episode 55 we have a conversation with Sam Cat of Shrimp Teeth about the intersections of cancel culture and polyamory. Sam Cat is a sexuality, polyamory, and relationship educator out of the United States who has long taken a stance against cancel culture. She discusses the impact cancel culture is having on her clients as they navigate polyamory and try to do it ‘right.’ We talk about conflict, mismatched relationship style preferences, sex negativity, and why cancel culture is bad for polyamory.

In Episode 51, we discuss Black American English, also known as AAVE, as a way to consider some of the differences between identitarian and identity politics approaches. Black American English is minority dialect in the United States of America. The identitarian approach to protecting Black American English typically involves appropriation discourse and the restriction of who can use Black American English on the basis of racial idenity. We offer another approach, one based in identity politics, which treats Black American English as a minority language deserving of legal protection and recognition. This approach does not restrict who can learn or speak Black American English, but does insist there are correct and incorrect ways to speak it, and, more importantly, focuses on the rights of native Black American English speakers, regardless of racial identity.
