I've always wondered which was going to be the cancel culture story that really blew up in the faces of the Groupthinkers.
It could have been JKR, and maybe if she'd never come out fighting after being cowed initially, her story would have stilled the tide.
Yes, we can all see how she's been systematically bullied, but she's emerged from a pretty dark hole to be an uncancelled as they come.
Glinner? Maybe his nuclear powered feistiness means he's not the straw that breaks this camel's back. And he's a man.
Of course there are many others. From Kath Stock to a whole host of GC authors.
But something feels different here. Róisín is no warrior, or someone with a sharp academic background (I don't think so). She said this in private. She said nothing that would offend any right thing citizen. She confirmed the current science.
She's also beloved by everyone it seems, and is totally inclusive. And a success in an industry that can be pretty shallow and awful to older women.
And beyond a simple statement of differing opinion from her label, she is more than anyone I've seen in this Maoist terror being absolutely singled out, absolutely monstered, absolutely hung out to dry as an example.
I really think a line is gonna have to be drawn in the sand. If Róisín really goes down here, noone is safe.
