Entertaining story to reflect on although without a message

Warning: Spoilers
Although the director's intention was to denounce the culture of cancellation, I honestly did not realize that this was the message. I understood that the film more than conveyed a message, it only presented facts. And I came to the conclusion that the protagonist received what he deserved, he never apologized, because when he tried to do it, it just didn't come out, the best thing he could do at that moment was to think far away for the better and with a cool head evaluate whether to offer a sincere apology or not.

In my opinion, the film had no message other than to inform you of what can happen to you if you become racist, homophobic or discriminatory in general in the public sphere. But I didn't feel sorry to see the protagonist cry at any time, they seemed like silly tears to me. If what the director wanted was for us to pity the protagonist, he didn't change it with me haha. At all times I felt that the best thing the protagonist could do was offer a sincere apology, but he never did so, his tears were like crocodile tears.

I think the film gives you food for thought, but it doesn't tell you exactly where he stands. It only tells you this happens and you evaluate if you think it is correct or not. As I already said, I believe that what happened to the protagonist deserved it, with the exception of a few things such as the exaggeration of some comments that turned to hate or the fact that those who knew what he published also turned their backs on him, but, of course, what could he expect if he surrounded himself with people who are capable of considering this type of publication a game, so well, it was evident that they were never going to add anything to his life. Finally, it would have been good if someone had appeared to help him reflect on what he did because no one had the patience to talk about it, although the protagonist was only willing to talk about it when he was feeling saturated because at the beginning he ignored the situation, so he did not do his part at the beginning for someone to help him reflect. Anyway, the good thing was that in the end he did something sensible: walk away to think clearly.

I give it 7 stars because I believe that it does not convey any message, however the story catches you and leaves you thinking about the subject it presents, whether you are for or against what happens to the protagonist.
