    The level of harm directed at this dude right now seems disproportionate to the level of harm he has caused.

      I mean if he actually pulled that stunt with his daughter he’s probably a garbage father overall and his kids probably gonna be fucked in the head by it

      He lost one contract, who cares? More importantly, what do you want done about it? Should there be a law against pointing out racist tweets? Because the "harm" done to him outside of losing a contract due to bad PR (which is always a possibility for an entertainer), is people posting about him.

          I mean the real irony off :freeze-peach: warriors on cancel culture is that it literally demands that thousands of people be silenced so that a few comedians and pundits don't have to learn how auto-delete scripts work.

        I want Twitter users to log the fuck off instead of deciding how much punishment is enough for people who used to tweet shitty things but have changed their attitudes since then.

        He lost one contract, who cares?

        Literally more harm than anything people are bringing up. I'm sure his daughter will benefit greatly from the impact that his wikipedia page making him sound like weev or Richard Spencer will have on his career as well. Well done.

          When did they do this? All I saw were various people dunking on him, no one was doling out punishment. You're pro free speech, right? Why shouldn't they be allowed to post screenshots?

          Okay? He entered a career which is very PR heavy, he should be careful with his PR. It's not like he was unaware of this a decade ago, corporate gigs have always been a thing. Comedians and musicians have always been aware of the dichotomy of having a clean and presentable act and public image or having to give up corporate gigs. And again, what's the response? Abolish the discussion of anyone's behaviour ever? Should these twitter accounts be banned? What do you want, because, again, there was no tribunal. Some people posted some screenshots, and I don't see how you expect such behaviour to be controlled without a completely totalitarian response.

            This discussion has nothing to do with "free speech". I also don't really care about free speech and think that in general it's fine for the government to limit it.

            Okay? He entered a career which is very PR heavy, he should be careful with his PR.

            Irrelevant victim blaming.

            Identify users who stir up brigades and witch hunts and ban them from the platform. Look into restorative justice (typically via seizing assets or wealth and distributing them to victims of harassment) for the ones who persist.

            completely totalitarian response

            "Totalitarian" is a fake word for babies invented to make it seem like communist governments are unique in oppression.

              It's not irrelevant, lol. If I posted a joke about my students on Facebook, I would likely be put on leave. It's not victim blaming to say that I should not have posted jokes about my students on Facebook.

              Identify users who stir up brigades and witch hunts and ban them from the platform.

              So literally anyone who links to a tweet? You really want to stop any discussion of people like Pete Buttigieg, and David Frum because one random musician lost one contract?

              Look into restorative justice (typically via seizing assets or wealth and distributing them to victims of harassment) for the ones who persist.

              You really want some poor guy in his early 20s who is $10s of thousands in debt to give up some of his meager wealth because he hurt David Frum's feelings?

              “Totalitarian” is a fake word for babies invented to make it seem like communist governments are unique in oppression.

              I'm clearly not using here to attack communism, lmao. Get a grip.
