I agree that cancel culture is a HUGE thing today, especially with the way it sweeps through the media and can garner mini mobs in a few hours, sometimes on unreliable information. While I do think it is important to call out issues and not sweep things under the rug, I also recognize that we have jumped into a “guilty until proven innocent” society at times. It’s a difficult issue to wrangle, and I think all we can do is practice playing devil’s advocate more with the media accusations that we see.

I greatly enjoyed reading this article! Breaking down the arc of the hero’s journey in stories is always fascinating to me, and tying together Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and post-modern movies like The Matrix was intriguing to read as well. Thank you for writing it!

Never have I pondered the relatability of The Office in all facets of life. When I watched it the first time, I was more interested in the budding romance of Jim and Pam! After reading this article however, I will be re-watching the Office through a much larger lens. What struck me the most was talk near the beginning about the conformity and “go with the masses” attitude that is pushed on, well, all of society. While being something I had not really considered much before, I, sadly, cannot disagree. Overall, a really well-written and thought-provoking article!
