There's nothing new here. You could always be fired for being an a__hole
But now the question of what constitutes being an a**hole is being decided by a mob of dopes on the internet.
For example yesterday I was reading that worldfamous champion cycling superstar, college professor, motivational speaker, and trans rights superhero Veronica Ivy (formerly known as Rachel V McKinnon... because she thought a stripper/
**** star would be more feminine, I guess?) is asking her followers to stalk her competitors on Facebook and get screen-captures of anybody who complains about trans-women in women's sport so that she can send them to their sponsors and to USA Cycling.
(Veronica is also miffed that people at her event were cheering for her opponent instead of her:
Imagine the entitlement. I think Veronica has probably done more to create pushback against trans activism than Amy Eileen Hamm or Meghan Murphy could ever hope to.)
