He can't repeat the tactic when he's hired elsewhere unless that other platform also hires him That's the whole fucking point - you act like Jude has tyrannical power over the whole marketplace, when he's just exercising freedom of association and costing himself money doing so

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

A ton of "cancel culture" critique boils down to "It's WRONG for people to be unpopular" Geek Social Fallacy shit "Unless you can successfully bring charges against me in a court of law, you are REQUIRED to shake my hand and be nice to me That's my right as a citizen"

Social ostracization is a powerful thing, and it has been used against all sorts of completely normal behaviour (Mormons shunning their kids for dating outside the religion, queer kids being themselves, etc). I think these folks knowingly weaponize a conflation of this with that.

Replying to @ReneeStephen @arthur_affect and
Yeah, speaking with my anthropologist hat on: people who want to disallow social ostracism as a tactic are deeply confused and wrong. Historically, the alternative to social ostracism isn't "everyone gets along", it's "violence".

To paraphrase Ben Sisko in the guise of Gabriel Bell, "Those who make passive aggression impossible make active aggression inevitable"

Nog: "Hey, doesn't this Gabriel Bell guy look a lot like Captain Sisko?" Quark: "All humans look alike."
