      So nobody of relevance. Just a sad, lonely failure.

        Criticise and debate and boycott all you like, but when they start sending emails to publishers, and harassing employers, and trying to drag all the newspapers and forcing a comment from celebrities to solidify an "us vs them" approach, you've dragged the world into your argument for the purpose of utterly destroying someone. Its no longer a debate or 'consequences' but pure spite and hate, a no rules vendetta.

        For someone like JKR it could be water off a multi-millionaires ducks back

        but for a few examples, where their only crime is "liking" a tweet or not-making a comment, or even just plain ignorance they've then been sacked and being reported and lobbyed against by a contingent of brainless scumbags

        imagine losing your job, having your reputation tarnished, being dragged across media and elsewise, losing your income and if you're in the US potentially your healthcare, for thoughtcrime?

        No, that tulip is *cancelling*, and it is utterly abhorrent.

          Given the lack of entertainment opportunities, this new "Cancel" culture is doing a good job of filling the gap.

            And can I just give a shout out to those who think cancel culture is new or not happening.

              But, who has not had the value of experience that a regular sporting event where 40k people are shouting "**** the pope" at you?

                Most of us, I'd guess.
                Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                    Sounds like the ERG
                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                      And the other "half" singing Irish Rebel songs?

                      When I go out for a beer with my friends in Glasgow, the first question is "So John, which team do I support in here, then?"
