  • Episode 36 | Cancel Culture Chaos

    Everyone has a voice, but do we always have to listen to them all? The YTCO squad discusses the need to be sensitive to the plights of our fellow human beings, but how hypersensitivity can do more harm than good to the very groups it is meant to help, and the potentially dangerous slippery slope of giving sensitivity groups unchallenged platforms that could ironically lead to inadvertent censorship, or worse - chaos.
