I used to think cancel culture was just mob rule, then I saw the Caitlin Flanagan case differently

For a long time I figured getting canceled was always unfair, but reading through that whole saga about her old tweets on race made me flip. Someone posted a timeline showing 12 specific instances across 3 years where she doubled down instead of apologizing. Has anyone else found a case where seeing the receipts changed your mind about someone getting canceled?

Read a long Twitter thread about it that laid everything out pretty clearly.

Are you serious? That thread must have been a nightmare to get through, I can barely handle short ones myself. I get so frustrated when people try to explain complicated stuff in a single tweet and act like it's settled. Good on you for sticking with it though, sounds like it was worth the read if it cleared things up for you. It's rough trying to keep up with everything these days, especially when people are so split on what's actually going on.
