If you look at the people who have been "cancelled" the vast majority of them are still employed, still selling their books, and often have even more prestige as a result (just amongst a specific group). Most of the internet has never heard of Dorian Abbot, yet not only does he still have a job, and not only is he still being invited to MIT to speak (just at a delayed date apparently), but now he has a bunch of advocates arguing on his behalf.

At this point crying cancellation is just a marketing ploy that specific people do before they launch their next book.

All the more reason to offer counter arguments instead to advocating to silence people.

edit: which was precisely the core of the argument from the beginning...
