Cancel culture has largely encouraged accountability for what you say.

Or are you going to imply to me that PewDiePie being mentioned across the media as a result of his antisemitic comments and thusly losing his contract helped to forward an agenda or cause?

It's totally not like you just read 1 comment without reading the stream before joyfully attaching yourself to the discussion. But of course. I hope I'm misinterpreting this.
He sure did get mentioned on the news when that happened and that most likely got people to remember that he still exists. He probably gained tons of viewers too.
