Jusay, J. L. A., Lababit, J. A. S., Moralina, L. O. M., & Ancheta, J. R. (2022). We Are Cancelled: Exploring Victims’
Experiences of Cancel Culture on Social Media in the Philippines.
Rupkatha Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities, 14 (4). https://doi.org/10.21659/rupkatha.v14n4.04

The study "We Are Cancelled: Exploring Victims' Experiences of Cancel Culture on Social Media in the
Philippines" investigates the phenomenon of cancel culture and its impact on individuals in the Philippines. Cancel culture
is defined as the practice of calling out or ostracizing individuals who have expressed controversial or unpopular opinions
or behaviors. The researchers conducted in-depth interviews with 14 participants who had been cancelled on social media
platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. The interviews explored the participants' experiences of cancel
culture, the reasons why they were cancelled, and the impact of cancel culture on their personal and professional lives.
The study found that cancel culture in the Philippines is often driven by political and ideological differences. Individuals are
cancelled for expressing opinions that go against prevailing beliefs or for criticizing public figures. Cancelled individuals
experienced various forms of harm, including emotional distress, reputational damage, and social exclusion. They also
faced online harassment, including cyberbullying and doxing.
The study highlights the negative impact of cancel culture on individuals, particularly on their mental health and
well-being. The participants reported feeling anxious, depressed, and traumatized as a result of being cancelled. They
also reported negative effects on their personal relationships and career opportunities. The study calls for a more nuanced
approach to public discourse and online interaction. The researchers suggest that cancel culture may stifle free speech
and discourage people from expressing their opinions, which could limit the diversity of ideas and perspectives in public
discourse. The study also highlights the need for due process in cancel culture, where individuals are given the
opportunity to defend themselves and have their perspectives heard. Overall, the study sheds light on the negative impact
of cancel culture on individuals and the importance of balancing the need for accountability with the protection of free
speech and individual rights.

1. Give at least one characteristic of good research which is best highlighted in the example above? Explain
your answers briefly.
One characteristic of good research highlighted in the example above is the use of in-depth interviews to gather
data. In-depth interviews are a qualitative research method that allows researchers to obtain detailed information
from participants. The study's use of in-depth interviews with individuals who have experienced cancel culture in
the Philippines provided a comprehensive understanding of the impact of cancel culture on their lives. The
researchers were able to gather nuanced data and identify the complex factors that contribute to cancel culture in
the Philippines by exploring the participants' experiences and perspectives in their own words. Overall, the use of
in-depth interviews in the study is a good example of how qualitative research can provide detailed and
comprehensive data to shed light on complex social phenomena.

2. When conducting this research, what characteristics of a good researcher are highlighted in the example
above? Explain your answers briefly.
The example highlights several characteristics of a good researcher. Firstly, the researchers demonstrate a
thorough understanding of the phenomenon they are studying, cancel culture, and its various manifestations
in the Philippines. This is evident in their clear definition of cancel culture, as well as their identification of the
political and ideological factors that often drive it in the country. Secondly, the researchers exhibit sensitivity and
empathy towards the participants in their study. This is reflected in their use of in-depth interviews, which
allowed them to gather rich and detailed data about the participants' experiences and perspectives. It is also
evident in their acknowledgement of the harm and trauma that cancelled individuals may experience as a result of
being ostracized on social media. Thirdly, the researchers demonstrate a commitment to ethical research
practices. This is apparent in their use of informed consent procedures, which ensured that participants were fully
aware of the aims and methods of the study and had the opportunity to withdraw at any time. The researchers
also took steps to protect the confidentiality and anonymity of participants, which is particularly important given the
sensitive nature of the topic. Finally, the researchers show a critical and reflective approach to their research
findings. They recognize the limitations of their study, such as the small sample size and the fact that their
findings may not be generalizable to other contexts. They also offer thoughtful recommendations for future
research and for addressing the negative impacts of cancel culture while also upholding free speech and
individual rights.
