What would it mean for JK Rowling to be cancelled? Legitimately an honest question: she's a billionaire backed by a media empire. What do you think would have to happen before she could be considered "cancelled"?

That is an interesting question. I'm not the OP, I'll think about it.

Do you have any criteria?

Honestly, no. I can’t even think of what would qualify as cancelled for her. If publishers refused to sell her books, she could start her own.
