    I think Andrew is rather intelligent and probably quite aware that it's possible to recover from this by disappearing for a bit, then reappearing and being openly sorry, showing sincere growth.

    Whether that's actually sincere or not who knows. Impossible to tell. I don't think this will "cancel" him in the longterm.

    EDIT: Ultimately being "cancelled" simply relies on a person disappearing permanently out of shame. I suspect that he's not going to permanently disappear.

      How do you "recover" from sexually assaulting women? You don't "show sincere growth", you go to prison and have your career permanently crushed. Just like Harvey Weinstein.

        I don't know the answer, but I'll point out that there is a huge contradiction between this and everything else the left says about criminal justice reform. What would a prison abolitionist think of that approach?

          For real, this whole situation has been mad triggering for me, but i dont A.C or my rapist, for that matter, should be in jail. I know people always say "its okay to let things get personal" but like.... that's absolutely How They Get You

        I'm not defending him. This is just how it goes with "influencer" careers on the internet. Step away for awhile, then apologise and show contrition, then continue what you were doing and it all sorta just gets left behind in internet history.

        I don't really think it should be that way, but it is that way. The only people that actually get cancelled are probably the people that learned the most from it and feel real shame enough to not come back to any kind of content-creating or "influencer" role in society anymore.
