Absolutely. If illirik was sacked from their job and made destitute, would that be "just basic conscientiousness"?

Maybe illirik should consider that the cancel culture weapon could just as easily be turned on them.




Now I wish I was keeping the archives of all those cases where supporters of cancel culture got cancelled and they suddenly didn't liked it anymore.


I am surprised Jeff Bezos hasn't been canceled. He was attempting to cut deals with Muhammed bin Salman. There is photographic evidence of Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai, and Jeff Bezos cozying up to a regime that is anti-LGBT.

Bezos was chatting with MBS on WhatsApp before MBS allegedly hacked him. It seems more likely he wasn't hacked by MBS and the culprit was his girlfriend's brother. Maybe Jeff and MBS are due to mend their friendship?


I believe you don't have that archive because it doesn't exist. Ultimately people who are "supporters of cancel culture" most likely aren't explicitly that, they just don't agree with your definition of cancel culture [1]

Those people then receiving retribution for some action (whether they deem it reasonable or not) doesn't necessarily imply that they've come to see things your way.
