It's not "cancel culture", it's terrorism. When you threaten a person's job, family, friends, life it ain't free speech anymore.

Sometimes, it's justified, like with that tech CEO and the Asian family, or Nick Cannon. Sometimes, it isn't, like with Drew Brees.

I view canceling anyone with utmost suspicion, because the basis of what's 'justified' is wildly subjective, and the goal posts constantly move (as we're noticing this week).

The Brees thing was more ignorant/tone deaf than any sort of malice...but you gotta remember, when your face is a brand, anything you say/do affects more than just yourself.
