I was honestly a little too knee-jerk against cancel culture and "performative digital lynchings" in the past. Like, I'm still pretty against it now, but in the past I made the mistake of borderline defending people who were indefensible because the mob-mentality way people talked, like they wanted to literally beat these shitbags to death without a trial, seemed really fucked up and gross to me. It still does, honestly. Like, even if we're talking about fucking Weinstein or Polanski, I'm still not here for the "Let's beat them to death slowly" take on "justice" (I have no problem with these men's victims wanting that, but to cry for mob vengeance as a random bystander is...I'm just not here for it.)

However, when I was younger, I occasionally overcorrected and ended up getting way too close to playing devil's advocate, which was all kinds of wrong and I very much regret it now.

So no, not everyone who is against cancel culture in 2020 was an instigator of that same culture a decade ago.
