My point is that I don't think it logically tracks to say "he deserves it because he posted it on facebook". Because none of what is apparently upsetting about it is derived from where were he said it but presumably that he believes it in the first place. The logic for cancel bullies seems to be "I hear something you say that offends me" "I infer from that that you are a bigot" "I enjoy punishing bigots" "I can morally excuse myself for enjoying punishing bigots, because I place their perceived identity as a bigot as more important to me than the rest of their humanity" "I use what you said to get you punished" So if the inference is that they are a bigot, the medium or method for which their bigotness is uncovered should be irrelevant, yes? Whether it's a private DM to a friend or a twitter post, if you can infer from what they say they are a bigot, then punishing them is always fine, right? --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori https://imgur.com/TheGsZ9 ...
