#006 - Pressure to speak on social issues, being offended (Pt 2),cancel creativity Unfiltered with Africa Brooke
-
- Philosophy
In this episode (originally recorded LIVE on IG) , I covered: why I refuse to shut up about self-responsibility, the problem with expecting all spaces to be ‘safe’- and how this has created a culture of safety that continues to act against itself (whilst annoying the general population along the way)...
...why you don’t owe strangers on the internet proof that you’re a ‘good’ person (because who the fuck gets to decide that!?), why speaking up on demand (frantically sharing all infographics that come your way) can cause more harm for those you’re supposedly ‘speaking up’ for, why the creative industry is suffering because of cancel culture...
some practical steps on responding instead of reacting, more thoughts on the psychology of getting offended
...& MORE
Remember: as a self-aware adult (YOU) - I trust that you will filter this through your own self-awareness. Not everything is for you, and that is OK. Take what you need, and respectfully leave the rest. I also urge you to listen to the entire conversation before jumping to conclusions or reacting prematurely.
