This is terrifying

Oh, she fired her!

The tweets were deleted, but this needs to be seen and understood. People still say this is a made-up issue. How can accumulated actions like this *not* have an effect on our intellectual and artistic culture?

Also, why is it just fine to tweet out internal HR matters now?

This is how it started. Absolute madness.

A random anonymous Twitter account, which calls itself “YA Whispers,” informs Jennifer that one of her agents simply *used* a social media platform and therefore should be terminated—and Jennifer actually goes and fires her then publicly brags about it!

But then people will tell me that if Rupert Murdoch or Josh Hawley mentions "cancel culture" then you shouldn't talk about it. You should just pretend this isn't happening.
