I would like to believe she is saying that there are levels to it all, and the "cancel" consequence for someone like Weinstein shouldn't be a blanket reaction at the same level for someone who maybe just says some ignorant shit. I do wish she'd said infractions' impact are relative though.

She gets points in my book for making Weinstein the measuring stick even though she didn't personally have a harassment experience with him. Others should take notes tbh

She loses the point when you realize she’s pro Depp and friends with Pitt. I’m guessing those are the 2 she’s thinking when talking about redemption. Wonder if Will and Jamie Foxx have the same redemption, according to her.

Agreed re: Jamie and Will. I think her points are somewhat valid but you're right re: her maybe not being the person to make them...

Did she do something beyond liking Depp's "victory" post?

[wirepatch]

that's bad enough??

[feitality]

Liking a post after a hardcore misinformation campaign and never interacting with anything Depp related again nor supporting him is a passable offense imho.

But another user pointed out she keeps liking his posts, which means she truly supports that guy. Ew.

Pretty much this.
Lumping in people who made an off color joke (for example) with the same energy as someone who actually did heinous things is weird, and at this point has made people fatigued by performative over-reactions.

Idk I have doubts about how canceled Weinstein would’ve been if I’d didn’t literally go to prison.

When people talk about cancel culture what they mean is consequences. Some things will have bigger consequences than others.

Sometimes, the consequences are simply being told to knock it off. I've seen so many people have these disproportionate reactions really minor consequences.
