2019 was the year that the term cancel culture went mainstream, as a rotating cast of characters (some famous, some not) who did unwise things (some awful, some not) …

Pre-cancel! Shh! googletag.display('div-gpt-{{post.id}}-content-ad'); Well, I’m going to burn your crops too. googletag.display('div-gpt-{{post.id}}-content-ad'); When they throw around terms like “cancel culture” to silence me instead of reckoning with the reasons I might find certain actions or jokes dehumanizing, I’m led to one conclusion: they’d prefer I was powerless against my own oppression.

That’s not a good enough apology.
