Most people in 2023 know that bullying is wrong, but they know they can get away with it if they dress it up as moral outrage. It’s RAMPANT in fan culture and completely disingenuous24412@lizzo Cancel culture is being used and twisted and co-opted by people who just want to bully.

I hadn't thought to look at it like that. And it's very, very true. The power has gone out of it, and that's a real loss for marginalized peoples. Brings &quot;triggered&quot; to mind.

On January 6, the Good as Hell singer took to her Instagram handle to state that she is &quot;tired&quot; of the discourse around &quot;bodies&quot; and revealed some of the comments she has received for the same. Ranting about the issue, she said:&quot;I’ve seen comments go from, 'Oh my gosh, I liked you when you were thick, why did you lose weight?' to 'Oh my gosh, why did you get a BBL? I liked your body before' to 'Oh my gosh, you’re so big, you need to lose weight but for your health' to 'Oh my gosh, you’re so little, you need to get a** or t**ties or something' to 'Oh my gosh, why did she get all that work done? It’s too much work.'&quot; View this post on Instagram Instagram PostShe further added that music artists are &quot;not here to fit into your beauty standards,&quot; and that her body is art. The singer added:&quot;I wish that comments cost y’all money so we could see how much time we are f—ing wasting on the wrong thing. Can we leave that s— back there please?”As for her current rant, the Juice singer did not reveal what provoked her to speak on &quot;cancel culture appropriation&quot; or give example as to who or what was wrongly canceled on social media.
