Why Don’t We Have Freedom Of Opinion Anymore?
Why do people living Child Free have less freedom of opinion than others?
Cancel culture is in full force amid the Covid-19 pandemic. It’s disappointing to see people lose followers due to a life choice. Especially when that life choice does not impact other people in a negative way.
Is anyone else getting concerned that this will become a very slippery slope. Obviously living Child Free is not a common life choice. However, it seems in 2020 people continue to be put off by other people and their personal choices.
I understand that a parent with children following someone who only Tweets about Child Free content would likely unfollow them because it doesn’t fit with their interests. Those same people will likely never read this website, and that’s ok because it’s their choice. But what if 1 out of 100 Tweets had a reference to living Child Free?
If you were an avid coffee drinker and someone you follow Tweeted that they like tea more than coffee, would you be outraged? Is this what you would do?
“I was triggered by you because you don’t like coffee! I cannot believe you would ever say such a thing! Now I’m going to complain all day long on social media so I can get attention!”
I didn’t think so either.
More and more we see the the new popular and trendy thing to do is to feel triggered. That way people can overreact and exclaim their own opinion while trying to silence other opinions. (Hypocritical much? I’ll let you come to your own conclusions.)
Where does this end? Is this a slippery slope? As I said before, I think we’re approaching the edge of the slope where your life choices could have a meaningful impact.
How long will it be until someone is excluded in social situations due to their life choices?
How long will it be until someone does not get a job promotion, despite being fully qualified, because of a life choice?
How long will it be until someone loses their job due to living a Child Free life?
I bet not long, if it hasn’t happened already.
