IMO you shouldn’t do that. As I said, I don’t know Chloe Dysktra (or Chris Hardwick, either) from a hole in the ground and have no reason to “cast aspersions” against her. But I am indeed casting aspersions big-time on the whole concept of cancel culture, which it seems she was exploiting. And I think it’s disingenuous to speak of her as someone who “did nothing more than write about her version of her own experiences”. What she wrote was profoundly damaging to someone else’s reputation and career, a consequence she surely could not have overlooked and which indeed one suspects may have been the entire purpose of it. So, no, not snow-white innocence. And her refusal to participate in the subsequent investigations is also very suspect and not characteristic of someone who genuinely wants the full truth to come out. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cancel-culture-and-canceling-versus-consequences-for-actions/1020644)._
