Okay, yes, this does sound incredibly nightmarish as a scenario - for white people! Cuz trust me Black people (and all other PoC) have been on the receiving end of white people's negative perceptions and projections of us from day one. We understand so called "cancel culture" in a way white, straight, middle class people are only beginning to experience the terror of today. And over the course of some four hundred years we have had little impact in striking down white people's projections of us, so I'm not inclined to to feel much compassion or care when the thing they invented lands in their laps, but that's not about the movie (although it does sound painfully intriguing). That's about me and the use of that term.

What's interesting here though is my emotional response to movies like this, and the use of terms like "cancel culture". I try hard to approach the world from a place of compassion and the film's character does merit that, unfortunately I'm not entirely sure he's a good example of what cancel culture does, and my automatic (knee-jerk) reaction was not to respond to that term with compassion, but with the idea that it is "white culture" that created cancel culture. White people are simply now the latest group on the receiving end of it, having used it on every other culture they've interacted with for the last 500 years. The people "canceling" white people are not the same people they've canceled over the last few centuries. White people are doing this to themselves, while using a term that was invented within a marginalized culture (the gay community) that they themselves had long canceled!
