Went down a rabbit hole on that author who got 'canceled' for an old blog post
Found out she only had 400 followers when the screenshot of her post started blowing up, but the mob acted like she was a major publisher. I spent 3 hours reading the original thread and the follow-up apology, and the whole thing was based on one out-of-context sentence from 2011. How do we decide if the intent even matters when nobody bothers to look at the originals?

Honestly that whole thing makes me so sad. People just saw the screenshot and ran with it without ever checking the date or the full post, and now her name is ruined forever. I really hope she's doing okay because that kind of public pile-on has to hurt, even if she had only a tiny audience.
