Cancelling doesn’t affect people’s lives or careers? Are you serious?




No one is entitled to being rich or famous.

That doesn't mean we should accept that people censor themselves for fear of having their livelihood ruined because someone takes a statement out of context. I'd rather live in a world where people feel safe in being honest with their opinions so that we can work out differences before they become an issue.

I agree, but that's an issue of our economic system: financial precarity.

Capitalism operates on consumers right to vote with our feet and dollars. This takes the form of "a bad review" that signifies a bad investment. It's our only market-based defense against abuse.


It's also not against the law to be a racist. Only discrimination itself is.

True, but it is an effect.
