By the same metric you should also not hold the reporter who revealed the racist tweets responsible for the actions of Anheuser-Busch and other companies. He didn't do the canceling.
- josephcsible 4y agoI'd argue that the reporter did do the canceling, though. Canceling happens in three stages: 1. Someone with access to a wide audience learns of a minor transgression, blows it out of proportion, and blasts it to them all 2. People who heard about the minor transgression start pressuring the employer/school/business partners/social media moderators/etc. to cut ties 3. The employer/school/business partners/social media moderators/etc. kowtow to the pressure and actually do cut ties If you've done any of those steps, you've participated in cancel culture.
