I think you get what i meant now.
Maybe it was not as bad as or whataboutism, tho I brought up the alt right cuz they actually shut ppl down. Like doxing and outing jews on twitter, or gamer gate getting women fired. Is this the kinda stuff that is happening in "woke cancel culture?" Maybe it is and it should be discussed if so, but I havent seen it.
Like all that happened here is Lindsay didnt respond well to a misunderstanding, people lost their shit, so she took control and distanced herself from Twitter. I agree that ppl went too far and that this shit happens a lot. Its dumb.
I guess its just a semantics thing for me tho cuz people being hypersensitive and causing needless drama is just not the same as having your livelihood destroyed cuz of your economic status or identity. Both things suck but... they're different things lol. I agree ppl dont make a distinction... my point is there ought to be.
yea i think youre onto something here
