We’ve got a bunch of new people now so let’s bring back a classic post. What low stakes conspiracy theory do you believe that you cannot prove but feels right to you?
I’ll start: I believe that dating apps have made a concerted effort to smear in person meeting people and tie it to being “creepy” through social media so you are forced to meet people online(which was the creepy option just 15 years ago)
Okay, I’m pretty sure you’re trolling, but I’ll say this. The more UNJUSTIFIED cancelings I’m talking about aren’t things like pedophilia and grooming, but more like gossip and rumors that got out of hand or people digging up tweets from 12 years ago.
Of course I’m a little upset, who wouldn’t be upset about strangers playing mind games to accuse them of enjoying one of the worst crimes imaginable?
No.
As the old saying goes, you doth protest too much. You yourself revealed that your big concern against “cancel culture” is that more people seem to be reporting sexual violence against children than before, and you see that as wrong because you refuse to believe it’s possible that it was under-reported before.
It seems like a typical pet issue of western libertarians.
Yeah if your big hangup is that it’s “going too far” rather than how weakly the so-called “canceling” that do happen really are (if you think Kevin Spacey’s prosecution was “UNJUSTIFIED” there’s no hope for you, and if you think it “went too far” that’s chuddy to say the least).
This is getting downright Reddity to me. People are allowed to be on their guard and to call out creeping; what is your solution? Some Reddit-style “punish anyone who doesn’t get a successful court conviction of a rapist” retaliation?
I don’t even know what you’re talking about anymore, so I’m just gonna back out of this conversation.
Believe whatever the hell you wanna believe buddy.
If you’re going to huff and puff about the scary horrors of “cancel culture” when pretty much every big name rich predator that got “canceled” is both not in jail and in many cases still getting paid just like before, you sound like a chud no matter how much you cry about it.

Again, you’re assuming that the accusations are false from the start and are directing your outrage against people that you already assume are lying and out to get you.
That’s a chud take. Monsters deserve fitting punishments, not sexually violent chud revenge fantasies.
