Brooke Schofield's Canceling Teaches Us To Never Bend The Knee To The Digital Taliban
Cancel culture remains a palpable force, regardless of how cliche criticizing it has become. Brooke Schofield is the latest victim of social media mobs holding her accountable for “distasteful” comments she posted 12 years ago. While I believe those tweets no longer reflect her views, she’s making a grave mistake by bending the knee.
Popular 27-year-old content creator Brooke Schofield and ironic co-host of the Cancelled podcast has spent the past two weeks groveling for the social media mob's approval after resurfaced tweets from a decade ago led to her fall from social media darling to reviled "racist." All in all, it was only a handful of tweets that erupted into the firestorm that took the influencer with 2.2 million followers' comment sections hostage, pressuring her to make a statement, apologize, grovel on her knees, and beg for forgiveness.
