Calls to cancel celebs only fuel their fame

Semenya’s view was that the protesters were “wasting” their time. The 400m star not only sought to be quick on the track but quick to graduate. Fees Must Fall threatened this personal best and in her opinion it halted their individual graduations as well.

People like Semenya are often thrust into the spotlight because they speak to the aspirations and dreams of millions. So, when they align with political ideologies that don’t line up with the liberalism of wokeism, it often paints the image that there are high expectations that are unfair to them. Fuelling the sentiments of transphobia, Chappelle’s show continued the hateful treatment many transgender folk face today.

So, when another call to cancel someone like Chappelle comes up, it falls on deaf ears because the people who tuned into Chappelle’s show aren’t there to understand the lives of trans people but are there for those exact crass jokes. Chapelle, on the other hand, is perpetuating hatred towards a group of people rather than sharing an informed opinion about them.
