“The left was more willing to have a conversation a decade ago” is just gaslighting. No one was willing to talk about why we were spending more time and resources on AIDS than genetic diseases 40 years ago, let alone 10. Thomas Sowell was completely unpersoned by television networks after he proved there was no female wage disparity in the 80’s. Weinstein is just butthurt because his specific comfort zone was finally swallowed up by political correctness.
Leftists have been living in bubbles for so long that they come out swinging with hard hitting twists that everyone else knew as truth decades prior.
Gamergate was especially funny for this, as you got to watch milquetoast "one of the good ones" Leftists act suddenly appalled that their own kind would do such a thing, and that such horrors as cancelling and gaslighting would be even considered. Yet being remotely Right Wing as far back as the 90s was just asking to be mocked, bullied, and ostracized in any place that wasn't exclusively Red.
Woah man, these are just fringe extremists. Just ignore them and they'll go away, they just want attention. The rest of the Left is moderate and understanding.
He makes a good point that always needs to be constantly and tiresomely repeated that cancelation is about severely restricting a person's access, influence, and perceived prestige, and not a literal vanishing of that person. Leftists love to gaslight about that. I'm sure they would love the literal vanishing (to the gulag) too if it actually happened. And only counter-establishment figures can be cancelled, as leftists have leftist privilege (and can't possibly understand.) But you are right about him complaining now simply because he is a target. If he was truly woken up by their behaviour, he would take a look back in history. That was what I did.

moderate liberal gamers in 2014: "You mean the media is corrupt?"
Those same liberals:
Remember when they used to say the woke shit was just a bunch of college kids?
I hate that fucking cop out so much.
If they're really fringe extremists, you'll go out and publicly denounce them, right?
Oh wait, you don't want to do that? Why? You don't have time? Sure. You don't have time, since you're so busy with pride parade and all that.

Yup exactly.
