>>110Its not surprising the SJWs turn on anything, even other SJWs and their own allies. RMS is out-of-touch hippie boomer that doesn't understand current PC culture rules: he doesn't self-censor or think about it, he seems very "free speech is a right" person.
He is very convinient target, because of autistical pedantry and lack of social tact, so it was bound to happen sooner or later. Consider it a early warning: no hobby/niche/community is somehow immune to SJWs, they eventually invade and subvert it. The "freedom of speech" is no longer a given, you have to choose your words very carefully to avoid a pack of rabid SJWs misinterpreting them in worst possible way to conduct a smear campaign.
Cancel culture is merely the outward apperance of SJW infiltration, ask yourself "Would this happen 20-30 years ago?" - what enabled SJWs to ruin people?
They exploit social hivemind and common sense morality as potent psychological tools to shape society and legal frameworks, they're winning because they shifted the "discourse landscape" beneath our feet, to create a speedy process of making a pariah out of their target and make "thought-crime" a real thing.
1984's Big Brother is manifested idea of self-censorship in "freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences" - some thoughts can't be said or discussed because they're "ungood"/"non-PC" regardless of their value or truth.
This climate of "emotional landmines" invented by SJWs and their cultural marxist ideas of "creeping reform through infiltration" makes any, however slight, controversial speech a potential "problematic" issue that has to be addressed/apologized/removed(which by itself will be seen as admittance of wrongness and giving SJWs more ammo against their victim).
Every step of the modern discourse is either agreeing with SJWs and conceding minor freedoms in favor of being left alone or fighting against manufactured scandals,rumors and libel that SJWs engineer out of thin air. No celebrity status will save you from becoming a social pariah:
SJWs weaponized social media and their psychological terrorism methods don't leave much room to resisting, in effect they turn entire community/society against the victim - manipulated crowds/lynchmobs duped into following SJWs agenda due shallow and distorted propoganda that paints their targets as emanations of evil - propped up by SJW-controlled press and blogosphere.
