“ I'm not fully aware of what he did, and to what extend he hold on to being a "misogynist, ableist, and transphobic, among other serious accusations of impropriety". Hence I look fwd to a defense.”
You don’t know what he did. But you look forward to seeing his defence...?
One of the large problems of cancel culture is people, like you, who jump on the bandwagon without really knowing the context or what the person actually did.
- cies 6y agoC'mon the petition does not link where he expressed his views. How can I go and read all the internet looking for the offensive material? Nah. I believe the people signing the petition know to some extend that this is serious. The petition respects him by not linking all expressions directly. Now it's up to him to defend himself if he likes. If he came around (like he came around before) that is a good defense in these cases. I know him as a very principled person: he'll not come around just for show :)
- 0_gravitas 6y agoThis leaves me very dismayed, why is simply "a lot of people think it" enough to convince you something is true/right? I can think of a good many scenarios where that couldn't ever be non-destructive. This is what critical thinking is for!
- cies 6y agoI'm saying the opposite. I want to see his defense. That's my whole point. And yes, that list of people is impressive. I know some of 'm and hold m in high regard. That does not say it's true, but it does make me believe there's actually something going on here -- although I dont any evidence presented. And nowadays even with links to "evidence": what do we truly know? Hence the defense'd be my proof of the pudding.
