No, this is upside down.
The entire point of the situation is that the nuances are not hugely relevant in the big picture.
Moreover, the nuances are never catered to in cancel culture anyhow.
Nothing remotely significant happened in this situation that should have involved anything other than maybe some stern retorts on the medium she started on i.e. Twitter.
The commenter thinking that 'this was a good outcome' gives us a great example of the vindictive pettiness and overreaction of cancel culture.
You don't lose your job and livelihood for a possibly distasteful public remark, probably taken out of context.
It's actually a pretty great example of the stupidity of cancel culture.

Somehow you miss the other side of this: her interaction on her train ride didn't deserve to be more significant than the average unpleasant experienced 10 times a week by anyone living in a city. She actively tried to make it bigger, then it got blown out of proportion by people like her, who blow shit out of proportion. Maybe we should all start taking responsibility for our actions, instead of screaming 'cancel culture' whenever they catch up to us.
