I give modest pushback against these edgy kids trying to earn social credit for pushing back on high-visibility targets, but I also don't want to get dragged down into these absolutely brain-damaged arguments like, who tweeted the "R-slur" five years ago or if someone's dog made a noise. It's actual destruction to our future to allow this to distract us, and most of the time it's completely manufactured. There are armies of people out there prowling the internet for ways to drive wedges between us socially. Not a lie, not a conspiracy, actual fact.

At the end of the day, if there's a media personality you can't stand, you can in fact just not watch them.
