The chances of this sort of thing happening to any given person are astronomically small. The Internet has a fairly finite capacity for outrage. There's only so many memes that can grab attention at any one time. And the amount of that attention that has to be focused in order to achieve something like removing you from your job is just immense. And even then, you can rebuild. Eventually.

There's no rebuilding from the kinds of public shaming that went on through history or even right now in the rest of the world. Imagine being a pariah in the only small village you've ever known in a world where every other village won't accept you at all. Even what Adria went through was tame compared to that.
