What it's like to be cancelled

You did not get cancelled for questionable comments online, or wrongthink, or whatever. You got burned for being a sexual predator. Stop making posts about it online, stop downplaying what you did by saying "I was a different person". Learn to live with the consequences of your actions.

Except he did not. He got burned for a blog post apology -- where he called himself a sexual predactor. No apology, no burning.

"I was terrible to women. I preyed on them. I ceaselessly hit on them. I got too drunk and did all manner of dumb things. Yes, I pressured them into sex. I was one of those shitty, creepy sexual predators you hear about" [0]

I asked you what that means to you, not what it means to him.

I don't think hitting on woman or convincing them to have sex is sexual predation. 'pressuring woman for sex' can mean many things. People under attack by a mob do many stupid things, including thinking that 'admitting and apologizing' will somehow stop that abuse.

You accused him of being a sexual predator. What does that mean to you? how do you know what happened meets any definition of that word to you? Don't take these pressured confessions of wrongdoing as credible - they're people desperate to save their life. They may say anything to do so.
