Molly Ringwald criticizes cancel culture as 'unsustainable': 'We're basically a bunch of puritans'
Fox News
Molly Ringwald criticized cancel culture in a new interview. "The Breakfast Club" actress noted Americans are "binary" and claims the rush to cancel people is "unsustainable."
"I don’t think a Harvey Weinstein situation could exist now. But, again, a lot of people have gotten swept up in ‘cancelation,' and I worry about that," she told the Guardian. "It’s unsustainable, in a way. Some people have been unfairly canceled, and they don’t belong in the same category as somebody like Harvey Weinstein."
"What it ends up doing is make people roll their eyes," she continued. "That’s my worry. I do want things to change, for real. Workplaces should be places where everyone can feel safe – not just in Hollywood, but everywhere. Particularly Americans. We can never do things incrementally; we’re so binary, so all or nothing. We’re basically a bunch of puritans."
