It's not just stopping support; some people lose their jobs or platforms for making valid or harmless points. It's one thing when its harmful nonsense, but it's another when it's a dumb comment the person made a decade ago that they are sorry for. Severe cancel culture exists and that shouldn't be normal. There's more to a person than having some controversial views, which we all do.
"If someone says something transphobic (like what you just did)..." No, it was not transphobic. Thanks for being part of the problem.
"...people don't like that kind of non-factual bigotry, then they are free to stop supporting that person...consequences of their own decisions." When people are overreacting and getting offended to something that is factual, that sounds a lot like bigotry (like what you just did). Again, it's not the same if someone is being bashed for making a valid or harmless point.
"People of every party and ideology do this, because it's just about personal preference and ideals." Never denied that, although there's more to it.
"And lastly, no, people being trans is not a myth..." Being trans, for example, is based on identity and feelings, not facts. Either way, humans need to seriously stop messing with nature.
"...so you probably shouldn't be spreading things that aren't true for your own personal feelings like that..." I don't base things on your opinion of what's true or not. This is a social phenomenon, not a biological one. Keep that in mind. Again, it's one thing to not like someone because they're different. But you can't ignore that there is real shoving of controversial ideals that don't belong at schools (especially amongst younger children).

Just to add on the "cancel culture" discussion, it's important to remember the case of Justine Sacco. Her life was turned upside down after a poorly judged tweet she made before a flight. By the time she landed, she was the number one worldwide trend on Twitter and had lost her job. This wasn't a case of stopping support, this was an immediate and unforgiving reaction to a single mistake.

Again, "cancel culture" doesn't exist.
It's not just stopping support; some people lose their jobs or platforms for making valid or harmless points.
...because a significant number of people stopped supporting them, yea. Again, that's literally all it is: if a significant number of people stop supporting, or even start actively disliking, a person/brand because of that person's/brand's own actions or claims, then they may lose money, positions, following, platforms, sponsors, etc. That is simply how life works. No one owes anyone else their time or money or… Read more
