Cancel Culture in the Kitkat Club: Sensitive admission policy or ignorance compared to the discomfort of the visitors?

Cancel Culture in the Kitkat Club: Sensitive admission policy or ignorance compared to the discomfort of the visitors?

Yes, because it can hardly be insensitive

Hardly any accusation is brought forward faster today than that of the "Cancel Culture". As usual, the accusation is also quite high in this case: the criticism of the Kitkat club's admission policy is less about writing who is in and who is not. Rather, it must be possible for visitors to a sex -positive club to be able to make a freely decision.

The statement by the DJane Vaiana, which was put on in the Kitkat on Sunday, speaks volumes: If she had learned from the volume of the band, she would have "made her loud", of course. For them the case was an "absolute no-go".

Of course, the club cannot inform all visitors and employees about anyone who is let into the door, but neither Till Lindemann nor the other band members of Rammstein are "everyone". Rather, they are currently the focus of a debate about abuse of power and sexual exploitation. It is not even about the concrete allegations against individuals and how much was legally proven.

It goes - the DJane of the party on Monday night - to point out the club as a "safe space". In a club in which there is dancing and people are very freely on the road, these people are vulnerable and put great trust in the security personnel and the club as a whole. Especially when "Safe Space" is not the desired thinking of the visitors, but the demand for the event.

Some people, especially among the Flinta visitors (women, lesbians, intersex, non-binaries, trans and agenders), of course now ask the question of how to regulate the entry beyond the Lindemann example. What does the club have in mind: the benevolence of individual friendly guests or the well -being of all guests?

and yes, even if some of them twisted their eyes with reference to laws and rules, it is about the feeling of security. So if people feel uncomfortable, this club is no longer a safe place for them and they have the freedom not to go there. But you have this freedom - and that does it even more unpleasant for you - only now, with more knowledge. Some would have decided differently in advance if they had known more. But they did not have this basis for their decision.

The discussion about "Safe Spaces" and discrimination is always and, above all, gap. There are many people who, in doubt, cannot book a hotels suite to spontaneously celebrate a frivolous party privately. Others have money, connections and power to do exactly that. If you contain the latter a place like a party in the Kitkat, you still have a possibility. If you don't have this, look into the tube in case of doubt.

The answer of the Kitkat Club that it is difficult and you just don't know what was true and what is not, in fact is probably correct. Ducking away under the debate and the complete ignorance of the discomfort of visitors is hard to beat in the lack of sensitivity. People who feel uncomfortable are so easy to stand in the rain and tell them no less than: I don't care how you are.
