    Oh you meant people who get harassed because they complain about those things. I thought you were saying the opposite.

    Well then no, it’s the opposite of what I was saying. Arguably everyone was on board with the fact that vaccines were good before covid, and then it became “controversial”. No one is getting “cancelled” because of a 10-year old tweet against vaccines, because if they tweeted that 10 years ago people would’ve already been angry at that time.

    I’m talking specifically about the times a satirical thing from ages ago that no one cared about at the time gets dug up and ruins careers because if it was said now it would be problematic.

      Ah, so nothing at all to do with what the article is about. You can see why people might have misunderstood right?

        The person I replied to brought up the thematic of “cancel culture” as a whole, and I said what happened in the article was good. I get why people misunderstood but I think I was clear enough in my first comment in saying this is a (rare) instance where it achieved a good thing and I wasn’t talking about that.
