This is my thought as well. 'Cancel Culture' has existed in America for a long time. The only difference between then and now was that it was primarily minorities and women that were harassed off platforms or cancelled. It only became 'cancel culture' and pushed into the public debate when figures known for rascism, vicious lies etc were the ones cancelled instead. Otherwise people seemed to be rather quiet about the whole thing.
I mean one just needs to look at what happened during Gamergate for an example of what I'm talking about. That said, it's obvious that those same types of people are weaponizing it against otherwise innocent people which means we need to do better at fixing things that end up wrong.
