Thanks for the slides & the book rec! I'm curious: did you guys get into how norms have changed over time or how they vary between different fandom groups? I find those differences/changes in norms fascinating & often places of useful friction within fandom(s).
Also, based on your description & other comments here, I think we're on the same page re: call-outs, but I'm curious if you've read Emily St. James' interview w/ Isabel Fall, which IMO is one of the more interesting/nuanced pieces on when cancelling gets toxic & which I think generally underscores your white knighting as the turning point theory. It also identifies my other concern about unchecked social sanctions, which is that they can easily be used against the people they were initially conceived to protect (which is why limits & care are so necessary).
