Marilyn Manson Uncanceled

A Few Words on Cancel Culture For most of human history, shunning, excommunication, and public humiliation have been used for social conformity. The modern versions are generally categorized as “calling-out” or “canceling.” While the first use of these terms is not certain, sometime in the early 2010s, "fans" of various celebrities and groups began to post on social media, identifying imperfections in their "idols" and “calling them out” on their behaviors.

It was in 2018 that she gained widespread attention when she spoke about her abuse before congress, though she still refused to name who her rapists were, but this would be the last time we would hear about her second rapist that was allegedly the owner of a bar. It was after this that Evan and her girlfriend Illma Gore along with actress Esme Bianco began work on the Phoenix Act, to increase the statute of limitations in California for victims of domestic violence.
