Woody Allen just got his memoirs cancelled due to pressure from his estranged family and the employees of his publisher. Okay, I get it, a lot of people think Woody Allen is a creep and maybe a pedo. And who knows? Maybe he is guilty! We'll never know for sure.
But because a bunch of people don't like him, because people keep pressing allegations without proof (even though there's plenty of proof that the allegations are actually false), the greater public (i.e. you and me) have been denied the opportunity to read this book.
This is censorship, straight up. And to those of you who are celebrating this cancellation, recognize that you are celebrating censorship. Don't pretend it's anything more than that.
You might be proud of what you've done but I wouldn't be. Because while today a voice you hate got cancelled, tomorrow it might be one you like -- and then what will you have to say?
