Can't you say that about anything and anyone though?
Every instance of someone being "cancelled" is really just the "consequence" of their past actions.
- darkwizard42 6y agoI think I agree with that. "cancel culture" is just the catchy phrase being used today to imply that the past actions weren't so bad and weren't deserving of the subsequent response. In this case...I don't think someone who has definitive links to pedophilia and already been kicked out of two organizations for those links probably shouldn't be employed in a position at Reddit where they are working with youth. Should she never get a job again ever? No! But probably not one with children or youth...
- TheOtherHobbes 6y agoI'm very curious who/why at Reddit decided she was a good hire for that position. And the husband too. I think that's a much more interesting question than another to and fro about cancel culture.
