Graham Norton And Alan Carr Talk About 'Cancel Culture' On Social Media
Judges of the upcoming RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Graham Norton and comedian Alan Carr sat down with The Guardian and talked about a range of topics including ‘cancel culture’ on social media.
Talking about the situation of the LGBT+ community in Britain and whether or not it is getting worse Carr said: “It’s becoming a bit of a minefield – just the semantics and the language.
“I feel as if we can’t really get to the problems, because we have to tiptoe through this minefield of language. It would be nice just to get it all out on the table and discuss, but I think sometimes social media can blur all that.”
Norton added: “Twitter, I think, must destroy some young gays.
“If you stick your head above the parapet and you retweet the wrong thing, or you comment on the wrong thing, suddenly you must think the world is so ugly, and so horrible. And I think that’s properly dangerous.
“Because when you’re a kid, the one thing you don’t know is that this is just going to blow over. And even though people are saying they want to rip your head off and shit down your throat, they’re never going to say boo to you if they see you in the street.”
