So now we're to the point where a single effortless mouse click can end your career.

People cave too it way to much. The best way to deal with twitter outrage is to simply ignore it. The sharks come wherever they smell blood and if you don't bleed they'll soon smell it elsewhere and swim off.

Also people need to stand up for themselves more. If I were invited to attend some convention and my invitation was rescinded at the last minute for no good reason, I'd be harping on the convention organizers for compensation. Like hey I cleared my schedule and bought flights so I could come to this thing and you cancelled it to spite me. Fine, here's the cost of flights and my lost income due to not being able to book another event in that time. Since this was entirely in your control please pay me compensation by this date or else we'll just have to take it to small claims court and let the judge decide.

Very telling. To me, any movement, religion, viewpoint that can't stand up to any dissent or disagreement is doomed to fail. If just disagreeing with one plank in a platform can cause them to be canceled, it's obviously flawed.

What if the media is on your side? This poor woman was (in this case, literally) cancelled because she liked some tweets, but it wasn't the loser with nothing better to do than search through someone's like history for several years that cancelled her. It was the people running the event.

When the media is blasting everyone with the propaganda of this religion to the point that the people running things are afraid to run afoul of the zealots, what opportunity do the sane have to push back?

Incidentally, I find it bizarre that one is allowed to continue to cyberstalk someone that one has blocked.

Eventually they eat each other or find themselves alone because the qualifications are so stringent and you can't dissent, people are forced out. That's what I'm hoping for. Look at the troons. There's already an effort within the alphabet people to excise them.

I don't know why people still use social media under their real names.

and they squeal it's "real harm," because evidently it takes sleuthing by a screaming mob of vigilantes hunting through Likes and a master's degree to tell if you're harmed

I really don't know why they don't give the option to hide your likes from other people.
