Topic	Has "cancel culture" actually ruined anyone's life?
ChocoboMogALT 11/25/20 3:57:19 PM #39:	Gamerguymass posted... So if someone said something stupid ten years ago they should be fired from their job today? Maybe, depends on their job and what they said. joe40001 posted... Holding people responsible for words they said that you don't like is asinine. Words are actions. Canceling Roseanne for being a screeching racist or Joanne Rowling for being transphobic is responsible consumerism. Public figures especially should be cognizant of their words as they have such a wider reach. Like I said, if you can't understand the nuance between holding people responsible for deplorable stuff they've said and done and canceling someone for some shock humor that missed the mark (though, there is a line, somewhere) - you're just as responsible for cancel culture as those that fall into it. --- "We live in a country Hasire.." ~ yosouf06 REVOLVER STAKE! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/ChocoboMog123/AltEisenRChocoboMog.png <cite>ChocoboMogALT posted [p:947597063] in Has "...
