Ah yes, remember that time Zoe Quinn got a guy cancelled by provably lying about being abused by him and he killed himself over it?
`
Or when Amber Heard provably lied about being abused by Johnny Depp and it got him fired and likely nearly drove him to drugs?
`
When Peter Simeti got cancelled for thanking someone and people started stalking his kids' bus routes?
`
When Vic Mignogna was cancelled for the dastardly crime of being too popular, so his co-workers made up provably false claims that compared having your hair touched to RAPING A CHILD.
`
How about when Gina Carano said we should all be nicer to teach other and not hate each other for our pronouns or political views - but she did it in a way that mentioned Jewish people, and mentioning Jewish people is a hate crime to Disney apparently?
Sadly Peter simeti isn't white and Gina Carano has a vagina, so they don't really fall into the "white man bad" trope that's being pushed (for some reason)
`
I'll admit cancel culture DEFINITELY does resemble the witch hunts of old. But in cancel culture - as with the witch hunts - the mob was ever the perpetrator.
The problem is that it had moved past equality and is now venturing into retribution territory. Except it's against people who believe in equality and haven't actually done any of the heinous crimes from the past
It's not about retribution.
`
The Vic Mignogna case was largely a bunch of white people who hated him because he was popular, because fans LOVE him, and because he's religious. And that may sound ridiculous but it's accurate. For those crimes he was labelled a child molester and a woman rapist and was shut out of the industry. And not just him. People that said they would work with him or supported him were harassed, doxxed, stalked, had CPS called on them, were "warned" that their "chances in the industry were slim" if they didn't denounce him
`
Peter Simeti had his children threatened and stalked. He was swatted by police. Someone called the police pretending to be him - saying "I just killed my girlfriend. She's dead in our bed." And that he was armed.
When he told people this had happened the people responsible gaslit him. Said he was making it up. Unfortunately for them it happened during a livestream and he was eventually able to release the footage
There are not enough characters in a comment to go over what Johnny Depp has been put through by the media and their wahmen bullshit
`
Gina Carano - all she said was that Nazi's used tactics to make hating Jews acceptable, and that that's not so different from how people try and turn us against each other now. Because of that she has been labelled a racist and essentially unpersoned. And people say that's reasonable.
`
Alec Holloway is dead.
There is nothing that can be done for him.
He was accused of doing horrible shit (that was proven to be a lie from the accuser's own Twitter history).
His Canceller set a mob on him knowingly. Said she was glad he was dead. And was rewarded with work from companies like Marvel and Disney
Cancel culture is literally picking someone you don't like and finding OR fabricating a reason to justify destroying them.
`
You make it so they can't work. You make it so they can't interact in public. You make it so the people who care about them can't speak you. You attack their families. You drive them to substance abuse or medication.
`
It's nothing short than an attempt on peoples' lives - NOT white men whining about angry minorities.
`
The complete lack of reality reflected in this meme is as ludicrous as it is pathetic
I completely agree with all of that. I am a huge fan of Vic Mignogna and was appalled by what happened to him, as with all your other examples. Ultimately, there is no justifying any actions of the twitter mob.
