I can think of a reason. To protect employees who are not part of the woke mob from being “canceled” by the woke mob.
- MattRix 5y agoany time I find someone like you complaining about “getting cancelled” or “cancel culture”, I just replace “cancel” with “consequences”, since that’s what it really is. They wanted to protect employees from the consequences of their words and actions.

- dsnr 5y agoWould you please delete it? I shouldn't have replied in the first place.
- bob3k 5y agoSo, would you say the same thing about a person talking about abortion if the company culture was conservative? This goes well beyond 'consequences'. its being used as a weapon against people you disagree with or are just political enemies and the end result is thugs and bullies gaining power that didnt earn it and dont deserve it.

- throwawayy01 5y agoMcCarthy wasn't canceling them, he was simply holding them responsible so they could face the "consequences of their words and actions".

- MattRix 5y agoThere is no personal attack here, I am referring to anyone who uses “cancel culture” as a bad thing.
- dang 5y agoUsing the phrase "someone like you" in a negative way in an argument on a charged, divisive topic counts as crossing into personal attack. Please make your substantive points without that.
- ashtonkem 5y agoThere does not seem to be any evidence of this. If there is, please provide it.
