It's just so strange how fast social media became so huge in just a few years and how much of an impact it has...a few years ago instagram wasn't as toxic and fake, that's at least what I remember.... why can't we just use these platforms to share interesting thoughts and creativity? And stop being so quick to judge people we don't even know? Have y'all forgotten constructive criticism is a thing? I believe in helping each other to grow and learn instead of shaming you simply for making a mistake!
People have been making public spectacles of others for centuries...Witch burnings at the stake, The Roman Colosseum, public beheadings, deformed people being presented as oddities in the travelling circus... granted it's not so extreme now but the instinct is still there...sometimes we like to watch others suffer for amusement :/
I do think it’s in some more than others. Despite growing in introspection some remain as the sadistic sheep during events like these. I really want to know why, especially as I’ve been doing psychology for years now. I have my more conspiratorial theories about it which i’m sure Sara could be aware of but I won’t go into that
I literally laid down with headphones and listened to you in the dark just hearing your soothing voice first of all but hearing the realest I’ve heard in a long long time. Amazing
I may be biased but I'm liking your videos even before watching them. I think my intuition just knows you're about to educate people about your perspective on life and I love these videos!!
i never understood the “we’re all human” excuse. when a mean girl is bullying others, saying that she is “still a human” becomes irrelevant at a certain point. yes you’re a human, but you’re also a nasty bully. how am i supposed to humanize someone who’s so hurtful? you know?
sorry for late reply haha, I think if someone has previously bullied someone but has proved they are changing and show evident remorse for their previous actions then perhaps it shouldn't be held against them to the person they are currently? idk it's kinda a touchy subject.
Such a powerful message. 🙌 I graduated so i didn't think about how the 'cancel culture' mentality could be carried over to real life, but its not something to take lightly.
Hey Sara I was wondering on what’s ur thoughts about a toxic job in general toxic people in that job it would help to hear your thoughts in a video 💜💜💜
“Cancel culture” doesn’t exist. If you have problems with people drawing boundaries based on their own personal value system, you’re only upholding the idea that holding a person accountable is somehow going to destroy them and that they don’t have to take responsibility for their actions. People always say “but give them a chance to grow” and 90% of the time they wanna skip the step of accountability. As if growth comes out of nowhere. Meanwhile while y’all could be fighting for the person/ the people who have been wronged and has little autonomy in the situation y’all would rather do the easy thing and avoid having standards for how the fuck ppl should be treated
felisha209 it does exist. Every other day on twitter there are trends that say “_____is cancelled party” and it is swarms of fans hating on certain people, and just recently it was for an artist who said something kinda mean to a fan...that’s it. It was nothing and everyone freaked out and decided to cancel that person. It’s not just having standards, it’s WANTING to hate and cancel people, rather than letting go. It’s obviously different if it’s personal, cancel culture is usually online with people we don’t know in person
becca You said it perfectly. These people need to pay more attention to psychology and their predictive thought patterns rather than fake depth and the falsity of personal philosophies being divine and separate to primitivism.
i'm going into my freshmen year of highschool and truly agree with everything you had to say about cancel culture. my friends were so quick to support the cancelation of james charles while i was the only one in the group to speak against cancel culture. my thoughts were left ignored but i continue to focus less on social media stars that i dont even know personally, it's so easy to get hooked on "tea". now i spend a lot less time looking at celebrities on social media and i'm trying to focus more and my own life. thank you for speaking up about this. i will definitely distance myself from people who are so obsessed with gossip.
totally agree with you about when a certain person argues and adds the "but" after their rising thought. amazing amazing theory. please have an essay voice over on and you speak and publish those lol
Yes... really old people watch RU-vid as well... 😂😂✨✨✨ It’s just one more way of tearing us away of the idea of being a tribe or being united.. regarding your video, it really tears me up that this is happening. This will create more solitary humans. Everyone will be too afraid to connect.. thank you again for standing up! 🗣🗣🗣
i took a course in news literacy at the first college i went to and it was a really interesting course. it taught me that most news sources especially in the US are bias, and it doesn't take much research on a news source to find out what their stances are/what way they lean as far as our left/right winged system. there are only a small number of sources who stick to unbiased news reporting, a few of my unbiased favorites being AP news and Al-Jazeera.
i love that you made a video on this. I understand that people make nasty mistakes, but my heart breaks for people who are 'canceled'. I'm not justifying their actions in any way, but reading comments on the instagram posts of people who are under fire of this cancel culture is so sad. we can do better
I’m going to be a junior this year and I don’t have time for negative energy. Ya girl gonna focus on them straight A’s and getting a job :). The whole idea of cancel culture is complete ludicrously. One small mistake and boom you’re finished? No, everyone makes a mistake, a rude comment, and a bad action. Apologize and learn from it and grow;flourish💕.
your wisdom my friend is just 🙌🏼 if you are going to put someone on a pedestal you’re already dehumanising them by placing them as ‘more superior’ on a hierarchy that doesn’t exist ... you are not giving them space to be human. this is so incredibly important. thankyou for showing up and speaking your truth. you’re creating waves my love 🌊🌟🥰
i agree with you but i just wonder what you would say to a lot of people who think cancel culture doesn’t exist. for example people “cancelled” james charles after his scandal, chris brown was also “cancelled” after what he did to rihanna, etc. today, james charles has gained back all the followers he lost since the scandal and is doing so well for himself, chris brown is also making new music and still very successful. at least with high-profile celebrities, society tends to “cancel” them for a short amount of time, shame them for what they did, and then.... move on. it is hard to find someone that has actually been completely cancelled, people eventually forget when the drama dies down and move on. in fact, sometimes being cancelled ends up moving their careers forward more than ever and exposes them to so many new opportunities they would’ve never had previously
I came to a conclusion that when you find something more interesting and important to you than following celebrities and “influencers” on social media you stop giving a damn. Just imagine all of the books you could read, everything new you can learn, make some art. We are constantly losing hours of our own lives just to see someone else’s life. Our time on this planet is finite. We are not here forever.
I’ve never been a fan of cancel culture, too often it takes an issue and makes it way worse. It’s bullying, there’s a person behind what’s happening. Im not saying that what someone does should automatically be forgiven, but it’s hurtful for a multitude of people to just crucify you at the drop of a hat after hearing one side of a story.
It is not to look up nor look down onto no one but at eye level. We are not the body but the spirit that inhabits it. Creator's law- do not transgress the free will of another entity/being. Blessings Sarita
Jamie iguess yes but putting a young person down because she/he/they did a mistake has no educational purpose, we are so quick to judge someone especially when we are barely starting to figure out life
Jamie iguess yeah, but writting general opinions doesn’t get us anywhere, like « killing is wrong », I’m just saying that they are ignorant people who went through different experiences and weren’t necessarily told what is wrong and what is right, so let’s be indulgent
Cancel culture is a tool some people use to get attention on themselves. I must say, gossip is entertaining but we don't grow, evolve from it...it can only downgrade us. That's my opinion. By the way, I love your videos, you speak facts.
i listen to your videos like i'd be listening to a podcast, i do other things while listening and i keep nodding my head throughout the whole thing lmao ily
Can you put translation for your videos because I am from arabic country and I donot understand everything .....you are great ...love you from Iraq....
i agree with all the points you made i think as you said instead of being so quick to judge and start putting people down for their mistakes put yourself in their shoes and start realising that we are all human and we all make mistakes and that we can forgive and love one of each other
Something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. I think the realization that there’s better things to worry about then what other people are doing comes with maturity.
Thank you so much for talking about such a Important Topic Sara 👏🏻 This exposing thing turned sadly into a trend I hope we can spread more love and peace and understanding each other. Take care guys, stay positive and happy 💜 Love u Sara you’re amazing and a great role model 💜
i've decided to figure out how i can legitimately build a tree house beside my future home, i'm quite literally googling tool costs and how much random wood i would need to buy. This is me avoiding university work at an EXTREME level, wood is expensive
It's like the more you expose and and push others to the bottom the higher you climb socialy n it's messed up to feed on other people's flaws as if we're perfect but that's what our generation is up to i guess 😪
I love listening to you. People should put more thoughts into how their actions could influence people and if they themselves would like to be influenced like that.
Thank you so much. You fill me with positivity and hope and encouraging emotion. You hold so much value and power. I am beyond thankful for THIS energetic community. I love you Sara and if you are reading this, i fucking love you.
Sarita, if so the world/humanity was less/not secular and more about spiritual/about the most pure, holy and divine being (Christ) to be cleansed and align with the most pure and powerful frequency (the Creator) then the planet would be different/higher vibration and glorious. Blessings
so much of what Sara says in her videos is what Christianity is ALL ABOUT but not everyone can even recognize that cause Christianity has been turned into a thing of judgement that is so much portrayed by the ignorant. like ugh sometimes i just want to take her to hear the truth about Christianity so she can see how yes, we hear you girl, the real (loving) christians HEAR YOU and oh myyy she can be a preacher and break so many people out of their chains whew!!
I feel like because of cancel culture we almost expect people that we are fans of or idolize to be bad people behind closed doors because it seems every other day someone else is being exposed as a “racist” or a “rapist”. On top of that I feel like our generation (Generation Z/some millennials) drowns in doing what we see celebrities or influencers do. And following trends which is common to do as an adolescent but today’s adolescents go to the extreme with it. For example, the food tampering trend that was going on for awhile. It’s like alot of people our age are willing to sacrifice their life or their circumstances to look “cool” or to follow a trend. Or hop on a bandwagon. At the end of the day even if we think we know someone because we watch their videos or we’re a fan of them, but we don’t truly know who someone is unless we know them closely or firsthand. And consider how our media portrays things. A lot of young people don’t have backbone. They take what they hear and run with it without researching it for themselves or reading between the lines. Edit: oh and we pay a lot of attention to celebrity drama than paying attention to what actually matters which is paving the way for the world to become a better place and what we can do as a generation to make change. Or nourish ourselves as people. I could go on and on about this.
Cancel culture doesn't actually exist, just look at how many shitty people still have their careers, loyal followers and money and positive exposure coming from every direction. People just don't want to hold their faves or themselves accountable so the conversation always gets twisted into a debate on whether or not it's "toxic" to make people take responsibility for their actions instead of sweeping them under the rug. If someone really is a genuinely bad person, imho they deserve to be exposed so maybe they can learn a valuable lesson and change for the better.
This was so well said. One of my biggest things that I emphasize about cancel culture is to always look at yourself first and trust me you’ll find so many things that you need to work on. No one living will ever be righteous or perfect. It is so so so easy to judge someone without looking at our own mirror. I think must of these drama channels do this to not face themselves knowing they all have space for improvement in their personal lives but choose to bash people.
I dont think perfection is some unreachable goal Thou of course it depends on the subjective definition of perfection But if it aint something u see in urself time to change the definition In my most humble opinion 😏
This one of my favorite talking videos of yours thank you for bringing up this topic, in this way ☺️ positive vibes ✨ my ideas: why people consciously/subconsciously look for negative things to reaffirm their negative feelings (instead of finding positive things to help them grow), explaining the difference between loving someone for attention (platonic or romantic) and loving someone for themselves (bc, especially now, people settle for the little things that people do for us since thats what society mostly idolizes but people should be keeping their expectations high bc love is not a filter you can slap on everything you know?? you like something a lot but love takes effort and care and kindness and consideration BOTH ways) i dont know if tht makes sense, and also just how to be positive or kind because both of those things go a long way no matter what platform your on and they affect more people than selfishness/narcissism/pessimism ever can ✨
Sara, I found one of your videos back in 2016 and from the very beginning I felt a strong authenticity in you. I was very distressed in those moments and I found a much needed comfort in your assertiveness. Even more so given the convulsive and painful phase you were going through. I was allured by your charms, truly admired. I feel very happy to see you more grounded, you seem to me like you can assemble things with much clarity. I hope you're feeling more calm. I think your wacky personality and playful speech are part of you and it's one of the things that color your expression but this serener new aura of yours speaks growth. Such a beautiful person. I wish you the best and a whole lot of strength. Let's dance with the pain! haha
I also have watched some of these videos but I actually start to feel awkward and really sad about it(while watching). Its just sth I dont want to understand. People making it ridiculous.
Ten minutes in and you sound so concise and clear compared to some other vids. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love your homestyle rambles, but you seem focused and clear headed and I hope that means you are feeling good.
Thank you so much Sara ! i see this happening so much to beauty you-tubers and just people on you tube in general!! they get shammed and bullied by these drama channels ! also drama channels is something i don't agree with like your literally earning money from someone else :( also some of these people are being "exposed" for stuff they did in their teen years like give them a fresh start!
