With “Cancel Culture” running rampant across the Internet, everyone is on their toes when it comes to saying absolutely anything. Whether it’s on the Internet or in real life, saying something even close to “bad” can completely ruin your life. All it takes is some teenager with a camera phone making the decision to post your interaction and label you as “racist, homophobic, sexist, etc…”
An AskReddit post started a thread questioning, “What is the most inoffensive thing you’ve seen someone get offended by?” Although it must have been frustrating at the moment to interact with these people, now it seems like a scene from “The Office,” which by the way, would probably also be “cancelled” if it had been produced in today’s time.
So get comfortable and prepare to be enraged by cancel culture!
