This is an awful take. The issue isn’t that he’s cantankerous and rigid; it’s that he’s sexist, misogynistic, ableist, transphobic, and has a decades-long history of making women feel unsafe. This isn’t “cancel culture”, it’s “consequences” (as is usually the case with that term).

He’s fine with gender-neutral pronouns when he gets to pick them, but insists on policing others’. The open letter calling for his removal has references.
