LEAVE KEN BONE ALONE! - This Week's Witch Hunt: From Meme to Monster - Whang!
Ken Bone was an undecided voter who asked a question about clean energy during the most recent presidential debates. Nobody really cared much about his question, but his distinct appearance and silly, subtly sexual name made him great meme material. He became an overnight sensation, which led to a reddit AMA.
Unfortunately, Ken Bone opted to use his actual reddit account for his AMA. Users pored through his comments, discovering his porn predilections and political views that didn't make everyone 100% happy. Since Ken Bone was imperfect, the Internet turned on him.
This situation reminds me a great book I read on the topic of Internet witch hunts. It's called So You've Been Publicly Shamed by Jon Ronson: https://goo.gl/GKcW4o (Affiliate Link)
