If you look at the previous pieces of the author, it becomes clear that this is not about the people involved here but the larger narrative the author wants to write about, with is cancel culture. You can see this with another piece, asking basically if the Amy Barrett case went too far. https://arcdigital.media/karens-all-the-way-down-cd530b0c0a0d https://arcdigital.media/karens-all-the-way-down-cd530b0c0a0... This is more or less in line with HN's general "slippery slope" sentiment, and is likely why the piece was originally submitted. It doesn't seem like many here care about the particulars, and the affected community appears to be small. So the article as posted is just rehashing a macro debate with no contextual add or news. This thread gives actual perspective from a coworker of Roost's, the aforementioned cancelled podcast. A lot more nuance there. I made a post from what I could glean from the actual situation as an outsider here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24832827 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24832827
