There was an episode on Doctor Phil that involved commentary on issues from the perspectives of the Baby Boomers and of Generation Z. One of the questions presented was why many comedians were afraid to go on college campuses for fear that something they say might result in consequences. One guest argued that “social repercussions have always existed”, that the newer generation is becoming more aware of how things like “bigotry” can be found even in jokes, and further argued that what is being penalized has been changing… And suggested that this was a positive thing.<\/p>\n

One young content creator named Victoria suggested that “social repercussions have always existed,” and said, “I think that just as a generation we\u2019re becoming more aware of how bigotry, even if it\u2019s in the form of a joke, really negatively impacts people. And so I think that while social repercussions are nothing new, what we penalize people for saying is changing. And I think that that\u2019s a positive thing.”<\/p>\n

Another young TikTok artist named Neekolul, who helped popularize the “Ok, Boomer” meme, suggested, “Stereotypes used in comedic stand-up is just simply\u2014 just, like, not ok anymore. So you can say whatever you want, but you need to be also be ready for the repercussions of what you say.”<\/p>\n

Conservative commentator Brad Polumbo fired back, “You\u2019re not free to say whatever you want if you get fired for an off-color joke. How would you feel when it\u2019s you who is out of step with the social mores of the day?”<\/p>\n

Victoria said to Polumbo that while canceling people for what they say is not new, now it is being done for more morally correct reasons:<\/p>\n

“I think you\u2019re still acting like this is something new, though. People have been fired for things that they\u2019ve said for forever, but now we\u2019re seeing an era where, if you\u2019re disrespectful or bigoted towards someone, you get fired for that, I don\u2019t see that as a bad thing.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Phil replied, “The point is, the threshold has really gotten low.”<\/p>\n

Greg Lukianoff, the president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, explained that rates of depression among young people are skyrocketing and there is nothing historically normal about the current form of cancel culture.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
