Sorry maybe I missed the memo, but is this how things get “cancelled”?

I was just pointing out that the domain is tied to a sad history.

At no point do I advocate for/against using it, nor did I pass any judgment on people who choose to use it.

The only opinion expressed in my comments is that the way the British and American governments have behaved is bad. If you take issue with that, let’s discuss but please don’t put words in my mouth.

Yes, associating tangentially-related controversies with previously innocuous topics is how things get canceled. Bringing up topics like this on a post about emoji emails implies that you want the conversation to flow in a certain direction; that's how conversation works. It's only missing Twitter and the word "problematic."

Are you cancelling free speech?
