There has to be room among the woke for the awakening or we never make progress.
I think this is the essence of any legitimate criticism of cancel culture. The lack of nuance and the lack of room.
Do I ever want to see Bill Cosby or OJ Simpson in a new role? No. Some levels of horrible are unforgivable. Cancel away.
Woody Allen. Same.
Louis C.K.? Maybe? Unlikely. Certainly not until he makes some kind of real effort/apology/reparations.
Noah Bradley? Assuming this article is accurate and sincere? There are a lot of Noah Bradley's in the world, do they deserve a second chance?

- Ensorceled 5y agoFair. I'm on the fence myself. But it is certainly a better discussion point than "Cancel culture is bad"; a lot of these people being "cancelled" definitely should be.
