Cancel Culture is not deliberately misleading, unless you think it is ok to lose your job because you cracked your knuckles.
Being held accountable by society is one thing, losing your livelihood is another.
Most major crimes have a statue of limitations, but cancel culture doesn't. If you said something 10 years ago, that is enough that apparently you should never work again. Is that the kind of accountability we want?
One person asked me, why should someone keep their job who doesn't believe in Sandy Hook? Why should they lose their job because of their belief?
The punishment doesn't fit the crime.
Look at the recent Madorlorian firings. One person says we are going down a dark path, and is fire. Meanwhile her corworker likens American to nazis (using photos from a different country) and he keeps his job.
So no, it isn't a way to describe people behing held accountable. It is a thing that is going on, by a small group to get rid of people that they don't like. It is abhorrent, and it is very toxic.
It is most definitely not how society is supposed to work.
I may not like what you have to say, but I will fight for your right to say it, and "sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me" is how society is supposed to work.
