I mean, that’s not great. But saying “they shouldn’t do that” accomplishes nothing. People will wield their power to cancel whether you like it or not. Want it to end? Work towards making people feel like they can actually seek justice whenever they are wronged.
Ultimately, I admit that I'm much more troubled by women routinely getting threatened and harassed for daring to speak up against their assailants than the occasional undeserving victim of cancel culture. One problem is just orders of magnitude more common than the other.
I think the main issue is people being fed up with society treating them like crap and taking advantage of an opportunity to do something about it.
And where ‘something about it’ is treating someone else like crap who probably didn’t deserve it?
