I used to defend the whole "cancel culture is fake" thing until I watched a 20 minute video from a Minecraft YouTuber named Wilbur
I always rolled my eyes at people who said cancel culture was real. Then a friend sent me a doc about Wilbur Soot and his ex girlfriend, and I sat through the whole thing on a Tuesday night. I went in ready to laugh at how soft everyone was being, but by the end I felt gross. It wasn't one bad tweet or an old joke, it was hours of screenshots and clips from 2019 to 2023 showing a pattern I couldn't hand wave away. I still think some people get piled on for nothing, but I can't pretend the whole idea is made up anymore. Has anyone else had a specific case that flipped their view like this?

Wait, hours of screenshots from 2019 to 2023? That part made me stop scrolling. I always lumped him in with the funny British Minecraft guys and never gave it a second thought. So this was a four year pattern, not some bad night where someone said something dumb and got dogpiled. That changes the math for me, because a pattern means people around him had to know something was off. I'm not gonna dig through the whole doc myself, but just hearing "2019 to 2023" hits different than one clip.
