I’m a bit baffled why were treating “cancel culture” as one, monolithic thing, when it’s pretty clear that each case is a bit different.

Someone losing their job for having a public melt down is not the same as a celebrity getting criticized, and that’s not the same as someone clearly losing some sort of nasty office politics war. Treating this as a monolithic block is silly.
