People saying cancel culture isn’t a thing don’t know anyone who has been canceled.
I know many of “the canceled.” They’ve lost jobs. Been rendered unemployable because google never forgets. They’ve dealt with depression and suicidal thoughts. Many times the court of public opinion handed out a verdict before they even had a chance to defend themselves.
Saying “cancel culture isn’t a thing” just means you’re part of the in-group going around ruining people’s lives for wrong-think and either don’t have to worry about it or don’t know anyone who had their life destroyed by an online mob.
Or even worse—you justify why these people “deserve it” in which case you’re part of the problem.
Saying cancel culture isn’t a thing because people rich & famous enough to weather the storm can survive it ignore the real life people who can’t.
