What a sinister thing to say. Christ. These are real people who's lives are being ruined by witch hunts. And obviously the crux here isn't how well-known any one individual hunted down by the braying mobs is, but it's the entire phenomenon that we'll remember with disgust.
Who can name any single person who was taken down by the Inquisition?

It's hardly limited to "Hollywood studios" or well-known bigwigs. Everyone is a potential target. There seems to be no end to how petty this movement is.

But none of these people are racists. And this is hardly limited to the realm of ostensible racists anyway, but encompasses anyone who demurs from hard line SJW ideology. I can see how one could characterize it as a pendulum swing in one narrow respect, but clearly it's far more menacing then that.
