This is the whole obnoxious mindset behind "cancel culture" culture, that it pre-emptively defines the "canceler" as wielding great and terrible power, it assumes the canceler is extremely popular and beloved and everything they do matters so fucking much

It borders on what I'd outright call an abuser mindset, of making the target responsible for everything There's people I know where I don't want to be in the same room as them and I will leave if they come in and to them that's "bullying" and "control"

"Oh, so you don't want them to be able to walk in a room, huh? You want them to be HOMELESS, to NOT EXIST ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, to KILL THEMSELVES" Even though I AM THE ONE LEAVING THE ROOM and I AM THE ONE WHOSE FREEDOM IS BEING CONSTRAINED

It says that A doesn't have to be at this party and has the free speech right to talk about why B's a creep and an asshole Just like when B was beloved producer Harvey Weinstein and A was "unstable fallen actress" Rose McGowan

Also, you're distorting this existing situation by a lot This "party host" started out by courting trans people like Doyle and the Laveries, using them as examples of early adopters and building a community from their fanbase

THEN they started inviting A's enemies to show up at the party, using the money they raised from A's subscribers to fund a signing bonus for B You don't even have to be on either person's side to recognize the host is a two-faced scumbag hypocrite here

Anyway it's funny how this pivoted into bitchy high school insults We've gone from accusing Doyle of being a tyrant with the power to destroy Singal's life to saying "Good riddance, no one wants you here anyway and no one cares what you think" Well okay then

If that's the case then why are you even upset? What is there to complain about? (Of course this isn't true, and Jesse knows it's not really true, which is why he's freaking out - because Doyle is a Substack early adopter and him leaving looks really bad)

Moreover, the fact that Substack DID offer to match Singal's signing bonus for Doyle once he threatened to leave and Doyle is leaving the money on the table and walking anyway makes it pretty clear who's the venal hypocrite and who's taking the principled stance
