Ben Affleck and Matt Damon criticize cancel culture's permanent consequences

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon say cancel culture lacks forgiveness and creates permanent outcasts during interview about their new Netflix film "The Rip."

Lori Bashian is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital. 

"I bet some of those people would have preferred to go to jail for 18 months or whatever and then come out and say, ‘No, but I paid my debt. Like, we're done. Like, can we be done?’" Damon said about those who have been canceled. "Like, the thing about getting kind of excoriated publicly like that, it just never ends."

Damon added that once someone has been publicly called out for something, the public won't let them forget it, and the mistake "will follow you to the grave."
