Used to think cancel culture was just people being too sensitive, then I saw what happened to that baker in Oregon
There was this bakery in Portland that refused to make a cake for a gay wedding back in 2018. I remember reading the news and thinking the backlash was overblown, like just find another baker. But I watched a documentary about it last week, 7 years later, and the owner had to close the shop, lost her house, and got death threats for months. The couple who wanted the cake even said they didn't want her to lose everything. That timeline from news story to financial ruin hit different. I get the line between consequences and mob justice now, but where do you draw it? Has anyone else had their view change after seeing the full aftermath of one of these cases?
