It's honestly one thing to have dark humor, it's a completely different ballpark when you're being a jerk on the internet for the sake of attention. I say that to say this, stop blaming cancel culture and political correctness when it comes to you being called out for saying some genuinely messed up stuff. Hiding behind the excuses of "irony" and saying that "everyone is sensitive" or "everybody is soft" does not help your case and in fact makes things worse because now you refuse to see the flaws in your actions. Granted, cancel culture isn't exactly in the clear neither. I understand the need for accountability, but digging up another person's past for no other reason other than to publicly prosecute them for the immaturity of their past self does not make you the righteous hero you think you are. You're being invasive, and very narcissistic. The internet is founded on anonymity. Some people don't expect to blow up overnight in popularity, and neither is everyone a saint on the internet. Be realistic when you're online because chances are it'll always just be a case of "The pot calling the kettle black".
