This is even more annoying if you're a person of color. Mostly because a lot of the "PC Culture" zealots are middle class white people who are virtue signaling and using these far left ideologies to gain social acceptance - They're literally shooting fish in a barrel when they decide what to say vs. what they can say AND get 'credit' for. Speaking your opinion and being called a racist on Twitter by white people is beyond infuriating when you're a black man who has actually experienced it. Twitter is a cancer to society, and I really hope this "cancel culture" dies out soon. Most times when things like this happen, someone could have easily sent the person in question a DM, explained why they thought the tweet might have been badly timed, and that would have been all - No scandal. But you don't get "credit" for that. You have to pretend to be angry, make a tweet with some ALL CAPS thrown in, and get someone fired. I hope people find another way to feel good about themselves soon, because throwing people under the bus is destroying any hope of free speech in the near future. Sorry about the long rant. Hopefully I don't catch any heat for this on HN shrug
