Like I know this is not an apples to apples comparison but the whole he should have not made the blog because of the potential of underaged persons coming into it and shifting all the responsibility in that aspect to him when it does happen to be very flimsy. Dont get me wrong, I think it was a dumb idea in the context of who he was as an internet figure, and something most people would not do, and something that in his case should have not done. but maybe not something nornal people should not do.

But take say youtube for example or what going on with internet copyright as a whole. The resounding creator sentiment and those concerned with virtual liberties are troubled that the worrying shifting of the blame to the platform (like YouTube, but also facebook, twitter, Instagram, any place where user generated content can be found) instead of bad actors or just those who willingly choose to ignore the "do not pass go, do not collect" cards.

Why are is there such a mindset that whenever any form of decent evidence comes out or personal recounts by persons who were linked to cases like these that might refute claims by the accusers, or even just something that might point to maybe not everything is here, is always met with "its still somehow his fault"? Its fucking sickening.

This is why cancel culture is so bad. Not that they are drawing attention to important issues that need to be addressed, but that the need to make a point... an example... is so great that they are willing to destroy people who might not fit their belief system or they (the ones who "cancel") just dont even bother to check up on... hey are these initial accounts straight type deal.

Look at like ghost busters reboot and when James Rolfe did his non review. He was blasted by people for being sexist etc. And while not exactly "cancel culture" exactly it was very clear that a lot of outlets that reported on the video either didn't watch it or just chose to ignore the actual content. Like the whole thing blew over for him mainly because AVGNs good will is very strong, and that James has always done a lot to try to stay out of drama and tries to keep his work separate from personal life. But for a brief moment in time, people, celebrities, "news sites" were so ready to have a dictionary example of a "problem with today's society" that they targeted one of the, especially among creators themselves, most beloved and respected internet personalities ever.
