Sure, sharing information, so other people can make their decisions as they please...

Is this the cancle culture apocalypse the right is talking about?

Weren't consumer decisions once held differently? Or is it because there is no money spend, it's not ethics anymore?

Let's share some more information, then. Alex is also an atheist and the kind of annoying vegan advocate. I am a Christian Orthodox and I roll my eyes every time I see him talking about any of his soybean-dirt-based meals or the typical shallow sophomore religion-bashing post. Should I just interact with those that are exactly like me?

> Is this the cancel culture apocalypse the right is talking about?

Asking people to not separate the product from the person, and think that the guy does not deserve any praise for his work because of some association with people that disagree with you? Yes, that's cancel culture that (not just) the right is talking about.

Trying to label everyone that holds an opposing view as "hateful" without absolutely no room for dialog? Yes, that's cancel culture that (not just) the right is talking about.

> it's not ethics anymore?

Does Soapbox come with some kind of clause that says you need to share their views to use their code? Is the product itself exclusionary in any way? Then no, ethics have nothing to do with it.

> Asking people to not separate the product from the person

Sorry, but why should i separate the product from the person? I'm not boycotting lactalys because their product are bad, they are quite good in fact, but he way the brand owner used to treat his employees, and the way they still treat milk producers irks me. I don't want to contribute to a person fortune if i don't like him or his way of treating people.

Should i buy some Nestlé product for convenience when i know that people gaining the most of the deal are not even apologetic about the contaminated water scandals? When they knew about African water and still sold mothers powder milk? I quite like some of their other product, i just don't want to give them my money.

It is the same for this soapbox product, no?

I don't care if it is cancelled tbh, i just don't want the people behind the product to get my money, is this bad? Also there is room for dialog, i've talk quite extensively with a sodastream ambassador. Still won't ever buy their products, but we did talk.

An annoying diet is a bit different from "hey this segment of people should just not exist", isn't it?

(If that's what TERFs ~actually~ want I don't have the time or nerve to debate, but wherever you draw the line, it's still a very different category of belief)

So, Alex is allowed to do and say whatever, but @488643689 isn't?

How ironic, me stating some simple public facts got "cancelled" here. Guess, this whole free speech thing is not meant for everyone. Pretty sad, HN...
