Damien on Mythryl: “We've lost the benevolent utility of real, justified, physical…”

We've lost the benevolent utility of real, justified, physical shame. It's actually good to be able to ostracize people when they are clearly hurting others. Kicking racists out of shows, banning shoplifters, bouncing bar fighters. No wonder moderating digital spaces is so hard and demoralizing.
