Summary

Norm Macdonald's appearance on the Tonight Show was canceled because he made tepid comments about the MeToo movement. All he simply said was that it was good that things slowed down because some innocent people have faced the brunt of false allegations. Some say this is Social Justice Warriors going to far and others say he made rude and "ton-deaf" comments and should have his Netflix show canceled. But for me, This story , Aziz Ansari's Story, Hardwick's story, and The Asia Argento Scandal say to me that things have gone too far and need to be criticized.
