98% of this stuff is just normal consequences. The stuff that does cross the line into cancel culture is few and far between. Like The NY Times science contributor who resigned because he quoted someone who used the N Word years ago, that’s cancel culture.

These extremists losing social media or TV shows for their libelous and violent rhetoric are just dealing with good old fashioned consequences.

I find the cancel culture term annoying. bamagal62 Feb 2021 #1
