CMV: If a popular/well known person cheats or misstreats another well known person, the thing should be sorted In private and should never be used to start a witch-hunt or to be used In a way to destroy someone's career.

Why does the whole cancel thing even exist, they did wrong things and that's it, no matter how popular the People are, these are to be discussed In a private manner or not at all.

Nobody should ever have a whole community which they where originally a part of chase after them.

I am not justifying people who do such things as sexual assault or rape, I am just not okay with people painting other public figures as "evil to the core" type of way, since most to none of the celebreties are that kind of people.

Lets talk about it.

Edit: just to clarify over here and somewhat of a conclusion I came up to:

First, just like I said, if somebody literally rapes or sexually assaults a person, then I have nothing against them bringing them up publicly, but if you tell people to go and ruin his life with "evidence" or "concrete proof" then you need some help. If you do have evidence and concrete proof, then take to the court, nobody is going to do it for you, and if you use your "assault story" for clout you probably shouldn't be om the internet in the first place.

Second, yes you did change my view somewhat. If someone gets raped/sexually assaulted they have the right to be public about it, and doing so is probably a good idea, but I still strongly stand by the fact that using your audience to go and witch-hunt after someone is an absolute no-no. They probably realized that they fucked up the moment it is made public, if not before it.

Thank you.

Edit 2: thank you all for answering, my view has infact been changed. I came here since most of my friends were completelly disagreeing with what I was saying, so I came here, looking for people to explain to me how I was wrong, which I did find. Thank you reddit, I dont know if people do this often, but you have succesfully changed my view for the better.

Thank you for being understanding and respectful, thank you reddit.

Goodbye.

Let me just address a specific case: predators. If you read many of the original statements by accusers of people like Harvey Weinstein or Warren Ellis or similar, you'll hear a common phrase akin to "I don't want what happened to me to happen to anyone else".

People often associate celebrity or talent with goodness or rightness. If you're a 19yo just getting started in an industry and a 35yo, whose work you've looked up to for years, takes an interest in you, you likely don't have the perspective or experience to be able to see if you're getting into a dangerous situation.

In that case, where you're trying to prevent the next 19yo from getting harmed, but you can't possibly know who it will be, what other option do you have but to make your accusations as public as you can in the hopes the next victim will see them?
