eh, there are a lot of cooking jobs that don't involve being popularized and considered a tastemaker, esp where the tastes she was specifically making where simplifications of cultural foods...few of them hers. I don't think that influence is owed anyone, and so I would struggle to say anyone actually deserved to return to that type of social power or that it was positive or reasonable, and that's without the issue of audiences wanting to see white faces for othered foods.

I think that's a separate argument from the cancellation thing. Or maybe multiple separate arguments.

If the position is that only POC writers should be allowed to write cookbooks and be a social media influencer of cultural foods from POC cultures, then that would be equally true regardless of whether or not she had done the stuff that she was initially canceled for. And then again, if the position is that audiences don't want white creators to be the face of cultural foods from POC cultures, then the market will make the decision, but it's not fundamentally related to the actual details of her cancellation or specific things she's perceived as having done wrong. That's how it seems to me.

well this isn't a commentary regarding her ~cancellation. my comment is about being restored to your previous position of influence after cancellation as that was what I was replying to. the OP said that it's positive and reasonable outcome, and I don't think positive or reasonable can be used for something that is a questionable social position in the first place, let alone one that is mostly not about either positivity or reason.
