Which specific people? If you look at most of the cases people mention, the person in question either did not lose their livelihood or did so instead due to serious misconduct. This is why it’s important to define the term so you’re not inadvertently contributing to some sexual harassers’ legal strategy.
Is your anecdotal attack on "cancel culture" more then just biased and veiled defense of literature censorship? Why would a rational being turn away from the OP and respond with such?
I for one can see similarities between the canceling and the censoring mob.
I’d say it’s your own bias that sees it as an attack on cancel culture, as opposed to a commentary on the sad state of extremism and intolerance that leads us into hard-left then hard-right swings (and back and forth).
