Gone to far?

Question

Seeing a few articles lately and posts on here has me seriously questioning society. At what point do we think we may have we gone to far? At what point do we accept an apology and move on? Should people REALLY lose their livelihood over something that happened/or they said in the past whether it’s 2 years or even 30 years ago? Especially if they have apologized profusely, have changed their ways and mindset from what they were in the past? 
A few examples that I can think of off the top of my head are
Ariana grande is now being accused of appropriating Japanese culture due to her tattoo on her hand
Kevin hart being labeled homophobic from past tweets/shows, to the point he has stepped down from hosting the oscars. 
Va governor Northam pressured to resign for a picture/ party he attended where he portrayed black face/kkk member.
Jameela jamil is being dragged for being apart of an aerie campaign she said was inclusive, but others saw wasn’t only due to available sizing. 
Some of these I’ve listed obviously are upsetting and have been addressed by the perpetrators, whether it be with an explanation as to why and/or a sincere apology. But it doesn’t seem that it’s “enough” to everyone, imo. To me it seems that for others it won’t be enough until the persons life is completely uprooted, dismantled, and thrown away. We’ve ALL, including you perfect Becky’s out there, have made mistakes in our past. Some incredibly worse than others, that they may not want to be relived. We’ve lived through those mistakes and have learned from them and hopefully apologized for them. At what point do we stop holding these over people? At what point do we stop bullying people into a miserable life? 
This isn’t to say people shouldn’t take responsibility, potentially “pay” for their actions, but at what point has it gone to far? Does essentially killing a persons livelihood equate to payment? Is that fair? If you were in this persons shoes for your past mistakes would you be okay to be constantly ridiculed, to lose everything you’ve spent your life working towards? Would you be able to survive that hardship? 
Has society gone to far?

Answer

The governor needs to resign. Beyond that, all of this is case by case. There shouldn’t be a blanket statute of limitations on past mistakes. It has to be case by case based on the severity of the issue at hand.

Answer

yes, absolutely. 
it seems to me like people have forgotten about forgiveness.

Answer

Sometimes, yes, sometimes no. That's life.🤷‍♀️

Answer

100% yes. People are too sensitive in my opinion these days. They get bent out of shape about every single thing and protest or harp on it for months. News isn’t news anymore, it’s drama. Some of the things were bad yes, but if you look sideways at someone these days they claim it’s bc you have it out for them for whatever reason. It’s really irritating.

Answer

Well Kevin heart and the VA governor actions were horrible.
Kevin heart joked about a community 
VA governor did something that was offensive and people died over it
I think if people just forget about it and move on just makes it okay to do stuff like that

Answer

Definitely gone too far. It’s a Salem Witch Hunt and McCarthy Trials out here! I think it depends on what they did, how long ago it was, who they are (politician vs comedian), how they’ve acted since, and what they said/did for their apology or explanation. With how many people have been dug up and throw under fire, it’s crazy and it’s being done 100% on purpose. People can change and shouldn’t be socially lynched based on something they said or did a long time ago IF they’ve changed. If they haven’t changed, then I’m sure you can find more recent examples vs digging something up from the 90s.

Answer

In general I would agree with you. I agree that these people didn't deserve an angry social media mob, but the governor should resign. Between his most recent bill proposals and that photo... Yikes. He sounds like a real klansman 👀
Also, did anyone even bother asking if that photo was taken at an actual kkk function? I mean it's it really a "costume"...? I'm not so sure, but it's only fair. If he were a Republican he would have been forced to resign like yesterday. As a matter of fact, if he were a Republican he would have never been elected, the photo would have leaked long ago.
Also Northam refused to shake his opponent's hand in 2013 when he was running, after a debate. E.W Jackson, who happens to be a black man reached his hand out to Northam and was straight up ignored, even after he was tapped Northam. It's not looking to good for his case.

Answer

There's just far more examples of criminals, abusers, etc who perpetuate their violence even after having been punished then those who get the punishment, change their ways, and deserve forgiveness. Trust is earned and so is forgiveness.

Answer

I think its ridiculous that society obsesses over celebrities lives. Like who gives a f*ck honestly?

Answer

cancel culture can get too crappy but people who deliberately cause harm to others and refuse to learn from prior mistakes should absolutely be ostracized
