The high-profile "cancellation" cases like Rowling make a lot of headlines, but people like her will be fine, they have money and support. The real danger is when ordinary people lose their jobs for standing up to HR and DEI bureaucracy, univeristy reseachers get canned because their results contradict dogma, Colorado bakers get sued into the ground for living by their religious convictions, construction workers get fired for making an "OK" hand sign, etc
- SamoyedFurFluff 4y agoSmall note about the bakers: they haven’t been sued “into the ground”. In fact my understanding is that they’re actually doing really well nowadays. They’re still open with 4 stars on Yelp with over 200 reviews. I think we shouldn’t twist narratives to argue against twisting narratives.
- bentley 4y ago> they haven’t been sued “into the ground”. Not for lack of trying. The baker in question has been beset with over‐the‐top cake requests, and there have been several lawsuits against him since the famous Supreme Court ruling. In fact, in January one succeeded in having the baker fined for refusing to bake a transgender‐themed cake, and survived appeal. So Masterpiece Cakeshop may yet be sued into the ground. https://www.newsweek.com/colorado-baker-protagonist-satan-dildo-cake-other-bakeries-wouldnt-create-1077250 https://www.newsweek.com/colorado-baker-protagonist-satan-di...
