Content creator Sassa Gurl is among the public personalities and influencers who have learned to deal with cancel culture.
In particular, she has developed strategies for dealing with "snowflakes," or individuals who are perceived to be overly sensitive.
She revealed in an exclusive interview with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), "Well, most of the time, iniintindi ko na lang at inaalam kung saan sila nanggagaling at bakit ganun ugali nila."
But she has no problem cutting them off if things get out of hand.
"Kadalasan if toxic yung pagka-sensitive, I don’t have time for them, goodbye nilalayasan ko sila.
"Dagdag pa sila sa stress ko, wala naman ako napala."

While she has ways of dealing with toxic sensitivity, Sassa admits there are certain things that she herself is openly sensitive about.
"Sensitive ako sa mga bagay na ito: queer culture, politics, and mga maasim na troll," she listed.
She also opened up about the last time she got sensitive, although she didn't divulge too many details.
Sassa quipped, "Nung nakaaway kong afam sa Omegle. May ginawa siyang hindi maganda tas biglang skip.
"Dapat nag mumog na lang ako ng Listerine para mawala yung pagka-sensitive ko."
Sassa was recently unveiled as Listerine's newest ambassador.
TEETH SENSITIVITY
Becoming an endorser of Listerine never crossed Sassa's mind.
She elaborated, "Never sumagi sa isip ko na makakapag endorse ako ng dental care product, lalo na Listerine na kilalang-kilala na brand, knowing there are set standards for how dental product endorsers should look like."
Sassa believes her look is rather atypical for oral brand endorsers, especially since she is quite popular for her gap-toothed smile.
She said, "Nung bagets ako, laging tawag sa akin 'one teeth apart,' pero naging popular ako dahil dito. Naaliw ako kasi naging branding na.
"E di pinanindigan ko na lang, at dahil diyan naging ambassador ako ng Listerine Total Care Sensitive.
"Para sa akin lang, masaya ako na makapag-endorse ng ganitong produkto. Kasi ako mismo, na-e-experience ko iyang pangingilo at happy lang ako may solution na ako for mouth sensitivity."
Sassa also has a reminder for everyone who has yet to maintain a healthy dental and oral hygiene.
"Dapat laging fresh breath at protektado ang ating mga bibig, lalo na kung nakaka-experience ka ng pangingilo.
"If mabango at malinis ang ating bunganga, matutuwa sila sa iyo. Mahirap magkuwento ng happy moments kung ang lungkot ng buga ng hangin mo sa bibig."
She added, "Mas mabilis makaharvat pag fresh ang bibig.
"If di niyo kaya gawin para sa sarili niyo, gawin niyo para sa iba. Maawa kayo sa ma-offended sa hininga niyo, lalo na sa mga sensitive diyan, i-#Listerine Mo Yan!"
