If the consequences had any semblance of consistency or proportionality, then that may be the case.
Instead, you have some people's lives ruined for a dumb joke on Twitter, and others getting away scot free with actual sexual assault because the substantive and evidence-supported accusations were covered up before they could go viral.
As it stands, I think cancel culture more closely resembles the 2 minutes' hate from 1984 than actual justice.
- pessimizer 5y agoThe most disturbed I've been by the woke wave is the multiple times I've heard Weinstein's actions referred to as "sexual harassment" by low-information online types a few times (in person.) The outrage and canceling of random actors for commenting on a woman's body on twitter once, and huge, daily reactions to other celebrity trivialities has flattened out the entire subject until a physically aggressive serial rapist becomes just another sexual harasser.
