A perfect example of someone trying to do what they think is right, making a simple mistake, and the internet crucifying them without any chance for rehab or apology. Just a mob that demands punishment, not justice. This has been a growing trend. If anyone does something wrong, banish them from the Earth. Make them unhireable, boycott their product. In reality, as her post notes, compassion is a lot more effective. Why would anyone change if there's no future benefit to that change? If you're marked for life and can never shake off that mistake, why try? I've yet to meet the person that didn't believe something wrongly. Racist, sexist, age-ist and many more, there are tons of ways to think about other people as a group and get it wrong. Most people can change. They can realize that racism isn't correct and work to be better people, and to treat others better. But if every attempt to be better is met with as much vitriol as not-changing, there's not only no reason to change, but there's plenty of reason to believe your original thinking was correct. Sadly, I don't really see a solution for this. The people who throw stones aren't reasonable people. You can't talk to them and show them that they are handling things wrong. If you're in the out-group, they'll simply say you can't possibly understand them and ignore you. If you're in the in-group, they'll say you are a traitor to their kind, and ignore you. The only thing you can do to them is what they do to others: Throw stones until they stop their behavior. But if you were that kind of person in the first place, you'd have just joined them. It's impossible.
