I see the NY Post is once again running a "here are some random tweets" article of the sort they've been running for years now to fill clickbait space.

You can act like what I described doesn't exist but that won't change reality.

Isn't one of the recent hot topic about banning someone for the word he used? There's a "scandal" like that every other day now...

Yes. That's what tabloids have done for hundreds of years. The NY Post has convinced you Adele is being canceled over a couple of mean @mentions on Twitter from random people with minimal following. You've fallen for it, and might consider what else in the culture war you've gotten stirred up about that isn't as big of a deal as a breathless tabloid article would imply.
