Victimization, Villainization, & Cancel Culture with Ori Zimmels and Genevieve Pleasure The Arc Podcast

In the last few years, our society has seen the rise of cancel culture. And while that’s not news to anyone, both Ori and I have found ourselves on the receiving end of a “canceling,” leading to experiences that were both painful and traumatizing.
But this harmful effect extends much farther just Ori and I, so today on the podcast, we’re digging into this whole phenomenon and how it ends up damaging everyone in its wake. We’re talking about the power dynamics at play for people with a public profile, the wide range of human experience and how cancel culture oversimplifies that experience, and how cancel culture ultimately drives us all apart. 
We’ll also touch on the pervasive fear that cancel culture perpetuates – and how we can overcome these fears, reconnect, and move toward more mature, effective relationships.
