![]() ![]() Social understanding of cancel culture does not generally allow for redemption” (p. This type of public shaming is accepted due to the alleged transgression of those who are cancelled. “ Cancel Culture is a new phenomenon of public shaming, facilitated by social media. ![]() Yet because he was different, because he was an easy target, he was virtually attacked and ostracized for a crime that he did not commit. It’s worse because there was no evidence linking Morbid to Elisa’s disappearance. This type of internet sleuthing feels akin to the Netflix Documentary ‘ Don’t F**k with Cats’, but worse. Because Morbid checked into the Cecil Hotel a year prior to Elisa’s arrival and posted a video of his time there, the internet took it upon themselves to justify that he was guilty by proxy. Pablo, aka Morbid, was the unfortunate victim of an increasingly popular practice these days-cancel culture. Cancel Culture and the Virtual Witch-HuntĪs if the misinformation surrounding Elisa Lam’s behavior wasn’t enough, the internet needed a scapegoat, so they targeted Pablo Vergara, a multi-award winning filmmaker, actor, musician and artist best known for his Mexican Death Metal music. These are important themes to look for when assessing Bipolar Disorder. Even more, if you take the time to carefully read through Elisa Lam’s Tumblr, you can see that there are moments where her grammar is perfectly clear, and others where her writing is disorganized and messy. This post could be indicative of a depressive state, this post could be indicative of something known as flight of ideas, and this post could be indicative of disorganized thought. The following posts give a much better indication of her mental status. To me this post does not evoke a strong sense of emotion (which is what poignant is supposed to imply), but rather reinforces my opinion that the general public does not know how to properly diagnose mental illnesses. Fairly certain this is where Baz Lurhmann needs to film Great Gatsby." When I say monstrosity mind you I'm saying as in gaudy, but then again it was built in 1928 hence the art deco theme so yes it IS classy but then since it's LA it went on crack. and there is a monstrosity of a building next to the place I'm staying. On her Tumblr ‘ Nouvelle/Nouveau’ Elisa wrote " I have arrived in Laland. Mind you these are people that she did not know, and she also left passive aggressive sticky notes on their pillows and around the room telling them to go away.Īccording to, Elisa’s tumblr posts were ‘poignant’ prior to her disappearance, but I see them as grandiose with a slight hint of mania. It was reported that she locked her room mates out of their hotel room and demanded a password. Her behavior leading up to her disappearance is also interesting because it clues us in to her building paranoia. We know from the Netflix documentary that Elisa Lam was previously diagnosed with Bipolar 1, and we also know that she had a pattern of not taking her medication, as evidenced by her sister’s statement. Contrary to popular belief, I see NO evidence that Elisa Lam was under attack, or that she was afraid for her life.īipolar Disorder is a chronic and lifelong mental illness. Even more, the public’s lack of knowledge regarding psychosis fueled bizarre conspiracy theories regarding her behavior, as well as who was responsible. It means that the public lacks the knowledge to understand complex mental illnesses. These are textbook symptoms of psychosis, but what seems difficult for the public to accept is that her behavior in the video does not indicate that she was being attacked. Her behavior is disorganized, she is clearly responding to internal stimuli, she’s interacting with unseen objects in a bizarre manner, her thinking is nonsensical (disorganized), and she appears playfully paranoid. In this footage, Elisa Lam appears to be in a psychotic state. ![]()
