Woody Allen continues to make films. Scarlett Johansson is still paid millions to act. Laurence Fox's last TV series was released 2 months ago. Jenna Marbles' YouTube channel remains. Jimmy Kimmel is still paid $15m a year to present.
"Cancel culture" is becoming meaningless.
All too often, "cancel culture" becomes a means for very rich and very powerful people to pretend they are victims when people respond to very controversial things they have used their huge public platform to say.

Oh dear oh dear!
To those saying: "one day the mob will come for you!"
Well, actually, they already have: I was attacked by a far right extremist because I'm a gay socialist.

All the people currently tweeting that I deserved to be beaten up by a far right extremist with a house stuffed full of Nazi and Combat 18 memorabilia are the same people complaining that the left are trying to cancel different opinions.
