Lots of "fine people on both sides" rationalizing here in these comments. There were social and professional consequences for prejudice before "cancel culture" was full-throated wailed from atop privilege mountain. Rebranding the combination of 'reverse racism', 'dangerous time for men', & 'free speech' as a form of McCarthyism is so ludicrously transparent. Maybe it doesn't feel obvious in anti-intellectual edgy enclaves, but it's farcical to the majority of people that are too polite to remind that consequences for antisocial behavior has always existed.
