I don’t really appreciate your snide comment. As one single human being, I have limited power to influence change. As a consumer, my options are to use my purchasing to support causes/companies who are doing good. I also actively avoid (as best as possible) giving my money to companies/people who are doing harm to the planet or its inhabitants. That includes people like Rowling who use their platform to harm vulnerable people. I had a lot of respect for her up until she started gunning for people who are just trying to live their lives. I’m not canceling her, I’m just not giving her my money.
Rowling is still a millionaire, they’re still making games and movies based off of her books, that doesn’t seem very “cancelled” to me. I’m sure she’s doing just fine in her expensive house with her money and transphobia. Sure people are entitled to their opinions but when they use their platform to target vulnerable people they will be called out for it and consumers will make choices about whether to spend their money on things that give them revenue.

There’s a difference between following a movement and doing something from your own conscience. Cancel culture is a movement that you follow.
Grow up, switch off whatever app you followed and make your own decisions of conscience.
People can choose to spend their money as ethically as they like, it doesn’t hurt you.
The sanctimonious tone is not working for you.

My thoughts exactly. Thank you.
