Filmmakers Clarence Felder and Chris Weatherhead say that, as cancel culture broadens its scope, it’s not only having a chilling effect on people working in creative fields, but it seeks to imprison the mind more generally—to the detriment of society and civilization.

“I think the idea is to wipe out our history, wipe out our traditions, our values, everything—with the idea of just having there whatever they are doing, which is terrifying,” Weatherhead said of what she described as cancel culture run amok.
