Bilo je prije godinu dana slično pitanje postavljeno Nick Caveu od strane jednog fana na njegovoj Red Hand Files stranici (ovo se može komotno postaviti i na temu o stihovima, ali mi se čini prikladno ovdje staviti sa obzirom na tvoje pitanje), i dao je dobar odgovor sa kojim se suštinski slažem.

Gledala sam nedavno na yt Nickov intervju ili Q&A
ili tako nešto vezano za cancel-kulturu -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgNdbX-fDyw, na momente mi je bilo i neugodno ovo gledati (ima i škakljivih pitanja i nekih ličnijih priča), na sličnu je temu uglavnom kao ovo gore. Slažem se i ja s tim gore tekstom, makes sense.
Da, ima na Red Hand Files pitanje i o tome, i tu je dao jedan dobar i smislen odgovor
What do you think of cancel culture?
FRANCES, LOS ANGELES, USA
Dear Valerio and Frances,
Mercy is a value that should be at the heart of any functioning and tolerant society. Mercy ultimately acknowledges that we are all imperfect and in doing so allows us the oxygen to breathe — to feel protected within a society, through our mutual fallibility. Without mercy a society loses its soul, and devours itself.
Mercy allows us the ability to engage openly in free-ranging conversation — an expansion of collective discovery toward a common good. If mercy is our guide we have a safety net of mutual consideration, and we can, to quote Oscar Wilde, “play gracefully with ideas.”
Yet mercy is not a given. It is a value we must nurture and aspire to. Tolerance allows the spirit of enquiry the confidence to roam freely, to make mistakes, to self-correct, to be bold, to dare to doubt and in the process to chance upon new and more advanced ideas. Without mercy society grows inflexible, fearful, vindictive and humourless.
Frances, you’ve asked about cancel culture. As far as I can see, cancel culture is mercy’s antithesis. Political correctness has grown to become the unhappiest religion in the world. Its once honourable attempt to reimagine our society in a more equitable way now embodies all the worst aspects that religion has to offer (and none of the beauty) — moral certainty and self-righteousness shorn even of the capacity for redemption. It has become quite literally, bad religion run amuck.
Cancel culture’s refusal to engage with uncomfortable ideas has an asphyxiating effect on the creative soul of a society. Compassion is the primary experience — the heart event — out of which emerges the genius and generosity of the imagination. Creativity is an act of love that can knock up against our most foundational beliefs, and in doing so brings forth fresh ways of seeing the world. This is both the function and glory of art and ideas. A force that finds its meaning in the cancellation of these difficult ideas hampers the creative spirit of a society and strikes at the complex and diverse nature of its culture.
But this is where we are. We are a culture in transition, and it may be that we are heading toward a more equal society — I don’t know — but what essential values will we forfeit in the process?
Love, Nick

On ovo sve govori u kontekstu odnosa umjetnosti i woke i cancel kulture i isto je tako relevatno za tvoje ranije pitanje.
To je jedna od stvari i koje meni lično smetaju i u kojima se ne slažem vezano za woke i cancel kulturu.
Jedna stvar je držati pojedince odgovornima za grozne stvari i štetu koju su načinili u odnosu prema drugim ljudima (kao seksualno
uznemiravanje, zlostavljanje, silovanje i slično), a nešto drugo imati isti odnos prema umjetnosti i idejama koje su možda
subverzivne, transgresivne i nelagodne bez da se razumije kontekst i namjera.
