And this right here is why I don't do Xitter or Tumblr. Getting this worked up over esoteric personal details of C-list podcast hosts is just not worth my time or mental energy. I'm glad there are people like you to keep things straight like you did here, but my god, these keyboard warriors have way too much time on their hands.
Litigating a stranger's legal troubles isn't their job. There's literally a system for that already.
even before Musk Twitter was a shithole,I thought the cancel culture was just fascist right wingers complaining for not being able to be racist online,then they cancelled one of my favorite youtube creators Lindsay Ellis, she made a video about it it's fucked up https://youtu.be/C7aWz8q_IM4?si=eGC5Cx2_UP7bTQh6
This is my biggest problem with the left. You have to agree with all their opinions. Identify with all their beliefs, or you're a nazi. J.K. Rowling is a good example. Donated millions of dollars to worthy causes. Huge feminist. Staunch leftist. But disagree with one subject regarding .000001% of the population (T people stuff)? Boom. She's a bigoted, nazi transphobe.
This is a small example of cancel culture, but there's this bi-annual video game speed running marathon called Games Done Quick (GDQ). They raise a few million dollars every six months for the Cancer Foundation and Doctors Without Boarders. When that new Hairy Potter video game dropped, not only did GDQ ban that game from participating in their event, they banned ALL Hairy Potter video games.
Clown behaviour. Take a week off.
