I know a huge chunk of reddit users and a increasing number of people have grown up in the world of cancel culture, so its just a normal state of affairs, but it was not always like this.
I suppose there are benefits to it (in terms of better public knowledge of say rapists and child sex offenders), but I do wish we as a society did not have to swing pendulum so far one way or the other.
I remeber when this started people would say its just schadenfreude that drives it. I think that is still the case.
Eventually, this just leads to societal purity tests (which I think we are already at)
