‘My Life is Incredibly Lucky & Privileged’: 50 Shades of Grey Star Dakota Johnson Talks About Cancel Culture Destroying Family Legacy
Dakota Johnson is known for her roles in films such as Fifty Shades of Grey, The Lost Daughter and How to be Single. The actress is set to appear as Madame Web in Spider-Man’s spin-off, which is set to release on July 7 2023. However, she has been in the spotlight lately due to her latest film, Persuasion, which is based on the novel of the same name by famous writer Jane Austen.
Dakota Johnson talks about cancel culture and Twitter
Recently, the actress talked about the internet’s cancel culture in her interview with Vanity Fair. The actress stated,
“What I struggle with in terms of cancel culture is the term cancel culture—the whole concept behind cancelling a human being, like they’re an appointment. No person will not make mistakes in their life. The point of being alive is figuring it out. Hurting other people, harming other people is not okay. There are consequences for those actions.”
She also talked about Twitter and said,
“But the concept of the Twitterverse deciding if someone just all of a sudden doesn’t exist anymore is horrifying, heartbreaking, and wrong. I do think that it will pass. I believe that people want to live in a better world, ultimately. Also, Twitter makes up like, what, 12 percent of the world? I mean, some of these people can’t even spell.”
