What’s up everybody I’m Skye (and I’m Matt). This is The Toasty Podcast and today is the toastiest episode we’ve ever done. What is cancel culture? We’re going to talk about that and we’ll lay out some recent examples. We aim to explain the effects of such a prevalent trait of American Culture. 

You’ll be surprised how many people don’t actually support such a society. We’re about to get toasty right after this quickie from ya boi ----

To begin, let's pose our first question to our listeners; feel free to email, tweet or use pareon in order to send us your answers, questions or comments. 

Here's a quick definition from dictionary.com

What Obama said about Cancel Culture:

"This idea of purity and you're never compromised and you're always politically 'woke' and all that stuff. You should get over that quickly. The world is messy, there are ambiguities. People who do really good stuff have flaws. People who you are fighting may love their kids. And share certain things with you."

CNN actually responded to that by writing:

The rise of "cancel" culture -- particularly on the left and particularly on social media -- is one of the defining hallmarks of our culture in the post-Obama presidency. Say something wrong, tweet something people disagree with, express an opinion that is surprising or contradicts the established view people have of you, and the demands for you to be fired, de-friended or otherwise driven from the realms of men quickly follow.

Even Andrew Yang, our boi with the Universal Basic Income idea when he was running as the democratic presidential candidate says we need to move past it…He was talking about Gillis here, the comedian that was pretty much canceled for saying quote on quote offensive words during a comedy skit.

"I believe that our country has become excessively punitive and vindictive about remarks that people find offensive or racist and that we need to try and move beyond that, if we can. Particularly in a case where the person is—in this case—a comedian whose words should be taken in a slightly different light."

1. Cardi B of all people was being told to cancel herself by a large string of follows mostly due to the rumors that she has a “secret” (but obviously not too secret) instagram account made in order to roast other female rappers or raptresses if we’re trying to be trendy. Her response is not too surprising….she practically told her followers if they don’t like it they can leave in an instagram story to her 70 million followers. Holy Stuff. That’s insane. And honestly it might be a good response. I care nothing about Cardi B’s career or any of that, but she’s obviously doing something right to be grinding away at music. She used to be a stripper and drug men at the strip club, but our generation is worried about her private instagram account. 
2. Jenna Marbles, the YouTuber with approx. 20 million subscribers posted the video “A message” on the 25th of June stating she’s sorry for old content she has created and she removed a lot of old videos from her channel as well. At first glance, this might be a good thing. In reality you are taking away the growth of any content creator so no one will know where they came from. She has since grown a lot and knows how to create content much better than she did. The videos she got rid of are all 7 years and older I believe too.&nbs
