The influencer who got canceled for a 3-year-old tweet about pineapple on pizza

I was scrolling through TikTok last week and saw this whole drama unfolding about a food blogger named Jenna from Austin. She had a tweet from 2021 resurface where she said something like "pineapple on pizza is for people who hate flavor." People dug it up and started calling her a food snob and a gatekeeper. It got so bad that she lost a sponsorship deal with a pizza chain worth about $5,000. I remember when that tweet first came out, nobody cared. But now it's like everyone's hunting through years of old posts to find something to be mad about. Has anyone else noticed how cancel culture is basically time travel now for finding receipts?

I used to roll my eyes at people complaining about cancel culture, thinking they were just upset about consequences for bad behavior. But seeing someone lose a sponsorship over a lighthearted food opinion from years ago does make me reconsider. It's starting to feel less like accountability and more like people just looking for reasons to tear someone down.

oh man i remember when that pineapple on pizza thing was just a joke between friends, not something that could end a career. it's wild how people will dig through years of someone's life just to get them kicked off a sponsorship. i had a buddy who lost a gig because someone found a facebook post from 2016 where he said he didn't like a local band.
