it’s like clockwork: Person blows up. People actively dig for shit on them (because how the hell do you casually happen upon a random podcast from 16 YEARS AGO. It’s obvious that someone was actively looking for a problem.) The tear down begins. It’s so over done.

I think it probably comes from people feeling like they have no power over the shit show that is the world right now. I get it. But “canceling” some random celebrity for something stupid they did or said over a decade ago isn’t going to make the world better.

See? This is what a person with functioning brain would think.

I myself didn't really listen to the podcast, so I'll take your words for it. But also I have some notion on what topics were discussed. And lets be clear, I'm not looking down on the topics they joked about on the podcast. Hell I'm a poc woman myself, but also, people grow, and I'd like to think a second chance or benefit of the doubt is in order here.

If we cancel someone everytime they get famous, (and I'm talking about literally anyone not just Shawn), because they got the spotlight for their work, because they become beloved all of a sudden for the said work, then nothing would be left for us to enjoy as a media.
