Remember back when the entire center-left press decided the word "bro" was sexist? I asked people doing it to define the word. So many genuinely had no idea it was short for brother. Their entire awareness and understanding of the term came from trashy think pieces about a west coast subculture. Knowing that meant I could choose to either dismiss them or make a probably-futile attempt to share the rest of the word with them.
Knowing what you, specifically, mean and what you think of those terms leaves me thinking of you what I initially assumed, but at least we're on the same page now. This saves so much time and energy, and avoids a tiresome demon thread.
Thank you.
Likewise. Have a good day.
It sounds like you have been radicalized. Who is this “they” you speak of that is destroying your freedoms? Who is the secret cabal? What is the disconnect between you saying: “this guy probably does deserve to be fired...” along with Callimachi, and thousands of others on a public forums saying the same thing? If you would take a moment to be self reflective, you would be able to see that the “cancel culture” is not a “they”, but it is normal human behavior we all share including yourself.
I mean, this guy probably does deserve to be fired... But Callimachi deserves to be fired right along with him, and she isn't. They were terrible at their jobs.
The reason here highlights two problems: First, that he might be being made the scapegoat, probably to distract from the huge failure of the organization as a whole that that podcast was. And second, that the twitter cancel culture mobs seemingly only want targets they find acceptable; they deliberately didn't target Callimachi but happily settled on him.
It highlights how hypocritical and toxic the cancel culture mentality is. And I don't think it will change if they keep on succeeding.
