Obviously the whole "cancel culture" is stemming from the internet; the reason some of us are unhappy with this specific corner of the internet is different.
It's also more so annoying some of us, because the reason people have been getting banned aren't things I personally wouldn't consider bad. Neither would a lot of people, I think. No one is being racist, sexist, etc. But poof and next thing we know they are kicked out.
As far as "getting recruited" goes, I don't really know where that is coming from. I guess that person meant like someone is trying to pull you into an opposing point of view?
