> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > Social media has made lots and lots of bad things easier, including trying to harm someone by spreading lies. > > But the problem there isn’t “cancel culture” - it’s that some people spread lies, some people don’t adequately analyze and confirm what they see online, etc. As is often the case, the solution is critical thinking, not some change in philosophy against online criticism, boycotts, advocacy, etc. With the exception of your first phrase, that’s pretty much what I said here: > [@wolfpup](#): > > Returning to the topic of the thread, my fervent wish on this whole business of cancel culture is that maybe people shouldn’t so willingly accept everything they read on social media. Maybe they should at least consider the possibility that what someone has posted is not entirely true, or maybe not true at all, instead of getting sucked into mob hysteria. Maybe they should consider how ulterior motives might play into what someone has posted. Maybe they should withhold judgment until actual facts are known. > > Maybe social media posters should act more like adults and less like schoolyard bullies, and when they do act like bullies, readers should be appropriately skeptical. At least the worst that schoolyard bullies can do is punch someone in the nose. Social media bullies can destroy innocent lives. They can literally drive people to suicide. But I disagree with the first phrase. I think that social media is a very powerful enabling tool for cancel culture. The people who spread lies for whatever reason – and there can be a lot of motivations for doing it – are enabled both by the ability of social media to rapidly spread defamatory lies, and by the bias of cancel culture to uncritically believe them. ---

Else, realistically, why was he reinstated? Because in “he said/she said” situations, there often isn’t enough information for an outsider to know for sure what happened, and so the one who is more valuable to the investigating organization is likely to “win”. There are lots of cases of real abuse that are never provable. So yes, it damn well is discouraging. And your certainly that he’s innocent and she made shit up is part of what’s discouraging. ---

As I noted above, what I said about Dykstra could have been published on the front page of the _New York Times_ and not affected her career one iota. You don’t think a headline in the New York Times stating, “Chloe Dykstra makes false accusations about sexual abuse” would affect her future career opportunities? Like, folks looking to hire her wouldn’t Google her name, see that, and think, “What if we hire her and she starts making false accusations against people in this office?” ---

You said “many lesser individuals have not [been restored like Hardwick]” and when directly challenged “Name them”, you came up with your Canadian Girlfriend evasion of “cases of which I have first-hand or indirect knowledge”. So no, no retraction from me. You definitely said “many”, and then intimated they were ones you knew personally. Backpedal all you want, but that’s the chain.

That article did lead me down a rabbit hole, to find out that Dykstra faced such organized hate and threats online that it almost drove her to suicide. So maybe this is an example of cancel culture after all: once again, rightwing misogynists are trying to cancel women for speaking up. > **[Survivors Used #MeToo to Speak Up.

So the two archetypal examples of “cancel culture” lauded in this thread (Hardwick and fourteen-year-old I can’t be arsed to look up) didn’t actually result in “cancellation”. This has been a very informative discussion… ---

They are in no way “exactly” the same.

You definitely said “many”, and then intimated they were ones you knew personally. Backpedal all you want, but that’s the chain. I’m not backpedaling. “Many lesser individuals” was a reference to a general phenomenon in social media today, as per the numerous cites you can find (I gave you three) describing defamation in social media as a rampant problem and how to fight back against it. The cases I know of first-hand or indirectly (indirectly meaning second-hand, through trusted friends) I have never characterized as “many”. The “intimation” is yours and yours alone.

> [@Left\_Hand\_of\_Dorkness](#): > > Curious which, if any, of these statements you still stand behind. If you’re implying a contradiction, I don’t see any. I would, however, acknowledge that “Dysktra tried to smear Hardwick with unsubstantiated accusations” was a bit strong and just conjectural on my part. More accurately, as I said later, there’s reason to believe that both were at fault to some degree, but I think it’s reasonable to infer from Hardwick’s reinstatement that at least some of Dykstra’s claims were exaggerated or lacked appropriate context. I totally agree with what @Spice_Weasel said upthread, which I think is a very reasonable assessment: > [@Spice\_Weasel](#): > > I don’t know if that lady was telling the truth.

We’re losing the plot here. To trace things back: 1. @Wolfpup accuses Dykstra of engaging in “cancel culture slurs” and of “libeling him [Hardwick] on social media” and of engaging in the “venting of a bitter ex.” with claims that he “wouldn’t consider…to be credible” and behavior “not characteristic of someone who genuinely wants the full truth to come out.” 2. @Puzzlegal says that he’s “acting out the very cancel culture he derides.” 3. He denies this, saying that “nothing I said here could be materially damaging to Dykstra’s career.” Here I advise folks to look back at the quotes in point 1. 4. @Miller argues that a NYT headline accusing her of false accusations would damage her career. 5. @Wolfpup denies that it would, because “that’s pretty much exactly what happened,” only instead of linking to a journalistic headline saying things like he said in post 1, he links to an article containing Hardwick’s denials, headlined “Chris Hardwick Breaks Silence, Denies Sexually Assaulting Chloe Dykstra” 6. When @MrDibble points out the difference, @Wolfpup doubles down by showing how shitty people on Facebook are to Dykstra in response to the article–bizarrely supporting @Miller’s point about how Dykstra would be affected by claims like @Wolfpup’s. As an aside, looking at Dykstra’s article, she claims that Hardwick tried to have her blacklisted, and also, she has very little work listed on her Wiki page either before or after her essay was published. She may well have been blacklisted, or she might just not have made it in entertainment, like most people who tried. So what we’re seeing is that when women speak up about abuse, hordes of misogynists tend to descend on them. If cancel culture operated here, surely it was against Dykstra, not against Hardwick, that it brought its most egregious excesses. ---
