Of course - that was my point about cancelling being an overreaction to accidental transgressions. I think the thing that gets missed is that an accidental transgression still causes harm, and harm warrants the making of amends. "You break it, you buy it" applies whether or not you meant to knock that lamp over. If I step on your foot I apologize. Etc.
- indigochill 5y ago> and harm warrants the making of amends Generally, yes, of course. Though once we leave the realm of hypothetical foot-stomping for politics, things can get more complicated. For example, we might look at the John Cena incident where he "acknowledged Taiwan as a country", which somehow led to him later making an apology video (in Chinese?) for this "offense" against mainland China. So sometimes accusations of "harm" are merely manipulation. It can take discernment to judge when amends are actually warranted.
