‘Cancel Culture is a covered fascism’
In the Mad Forum 2025 held on March 19 in Technopolis, one of the sections that attracted enormous interest was that for Gen Z and the culture of “cancellation”. THE Fotis Sergoulopoulos And Mary Synatsakis gave their own perspective through personal experiences and examples both from Greece and abroad.
“Cancel Culture is a covered fascism. It is about witch hunters, passing, throwing stones … “He did it” and immediately attack him. For me it’s something useless. There are other ways to find justice in the world, “the ERT presenter said at the beginning of his speech.
“I was personally born with Cancel. And I’ll tell you why: like a gay boy, who realized that he was a very small gay, Cancel was all around me. That is, I had some friends I was accepted, but I knew I was not accepted and liked by a lot of people, “Fotis Sergoulopoulos then confessed to the Mad Forum audience.
“Growing a gay boy in such a society, he takes it on him and realizes that he will always be canceled. So in me there was always a calmness. That is, it worked very early as survival, because I had to survive in such a society. So I found the ways to understand it and be able to march to it, “Fotis Sergoulopoulos added in his story.
