Combine that with social media where it is much easier to express your outrage and join others who share your outrage, and you get people getting fired left and right.
He was already leaving, but it is still shows how devolved our culture has become. People used to joke you don't have a constitutional right not to be offended. Well nowadays, you pretty much do.
Agreed. Ironically Colin has talked about it on his show in the past. The bigger problem isn't just the outrage culture (90% of which is generated by clickbait websites), its that the internet hive mind jumps on and its impossible to have a debate/discussion, ie, if you disagree with what happened to Colin that must mean that you hate the Dominican people, or that you are an ignorant racist, or that you are a bigot etc... Whoever is offended has all the power and its almost impossible to disagree without shaming yourself, regardless of the issue. Its scary because were all one hidden camera/off-color joke/selective edit away from being branded XYZ and shunned forever as an outcast by society.
