Good advice for the olden days when careers were only ruined for good reason, and this specific case as contains one of those good reasons. But in this modern witch hunt era we’re currently living, doing anything can potentially ruin your career. Someone snapped a picture of you enjoying a beer at a party? You’re done. I assume everything I do will ruin my career. If this comment weren’t anonymous, it no doubt would have already ruined my career as soon as I pressed submit.
I agree careers get ruined more often over silly things now, but its not anywhere close to a modern issue. People have been getting some form of “cancelled” for pretty much all of time, sometimes for a good reason and sometimes for a bad reason. If you really live your life in constant terror over the idea, maybe you should become self-sufficient and move off the grid. Thats kinda the only solution to the problem. People are social animals and social animals sometimes make stupid social decisions such as “cancelling” one another and its just kinda unavoidable.
If you really live your life in constant terror over the idea
If there is any to be terrified of, it would be having only one career. Even if there is no risk of being “cancelled”, there are many other threats to careers that are completely beyond one’s control. No normally functioning person would need to be worried about having a career ruined as they would never put all of their eggs in one career basket in the first place.
Granted, a full grown adult who thinks having a sexual relationship with a teenage student is a good idea is not normally functioning.
I am here to study the arrow button pressers, who are known to be found in this particular landscape. It is a fascinating to watch the ritualistic button pressers press a button that does nothing in what is, to the best of our current understanding, intended as some kind of display of dominance used in an effort to attract a mate.

I see your point, probably not the thread to bring it up.
As good as any other, though.
No, bring it up in a thread where the person begin persecuted isn’t a sexual predator.
Best to bring up when the person is a sexual predator as it brings out the crazies who can’t separate their emotions from thought.
Yeah, if you have an axe to grind…

I’ve never once wondered whether or not the things I’m doing could be misconstrued in a way that would end my career.
What kind of weird shit are you into?
Why would anyone be worried about their career? They are a dime a dozen. Recognizing that a career could end does not imply worry.
The weirdest! You know, things like walking down the street, using a computer, driving a car.
