Agree about the cancel thing, on either side of the political aisle. Just this past year someone fairly close to me, a thoroughly decent person, had their life turned completely upside down and their reputation dragged through ten miles of mud for the most innocuous thing you could imagine by a couple of people who managed to fabricate a giant stink about it, facts be damned.
As far as the dildo thing. I just don't want it to be okay for people to throw things around at any event I might be at. Period. I don't care what it is or what it's about. In this case, it's a silly prank I'd put at the Eric Cartman level of maturity. But that's where we're at now, I guess.
