Remember the NASA scientist who got so much shit for wearing a shirt?

  No... nothing on google either. Edit: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/nov/14/rosetta-comet-dr-matt-taylor-apology-sexist-shirt https://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/nov/14/rosetta-come... He wasn’t even fired. What is there to complain about? Cancel culture is a myth.

    The guy was brought to tears for wearing a shirt his female friend made. Just because a company doesn't fire someone (and rightfully so) doesn't mean there aren't pitchfork waving mobs screaming for the head of some comedian/artist/random guy. A great example of satirizing the movement would be 30 Rock's "Idiots are people two!" Edit: also that you dismissed it, even though googling my comment verbatim would've given you a source, shows that you're starting at your conclusion then working backwards. Trolling isn't appreciated

      He wore it in public and as a representative of a state agency. The fact that a woman made it doesn’t impact anything; he had a complete lack of sensitivity, and he apologized, and he didn’t get fired. What is there to discuss? FWIW I preserved my original comment in good faith. I don’t appreciate your not recognizing my edits.

  Do you know how many people wear stupid shirts every day? Probably millions. You're talking about a story that's literally 1 in a million that happened what months ago? A year ago? I believe you're overblowing the frequency of this happening.
