Cancelled in the Wokeplace
Angry mobs have threatened people throughout history. But now there’s a new kind: online mobs.
Repeatedly outraged, and vicious--their goal is to get people fired. They are good at it.
A tax specialist lost her job for saying being female is a biological fact.
When Harry Potter author JK Rowling defended her, tweeting, “Force women out of their jobs for stating sex is real?” the mob came for Rowling.
They called her transphobic, said her tweet was “cruel and inaccurate.” Some staff at her publisher refused to work on her upcoming book.
But Rowling is the rare person popular enough to be able to resist the mob. Her publisher stood up for her saying, “freedom of speech is the cornerstone of publishing.”
That’s how all these cases should be handled.
“We just have to speak up,” says Soave.
That can be hard in the current “cancel culture.” But those of us who can speak up, should.
