Most people? Can you name a handful of people this has happened to? I can name dozens of people who are supposedly cancelled [forever], when it isn’t really the case. This Quinton Flynn example from a quick search does appear to show a legit example of being screwed over by reactionary bullshit. Or what people call “cancel culture”. I don’t believe the way you’re portraying his situation and the evils of “cancelling” are anywhere close to as bad as they actually are. I feel for Flynn. His situation absolutely sucks. If in 2-3 years he still can’t get any work, yeah he got cancelled as the modern definition means. If he’s able to get work still soon. Then it isn’t cancelling. It’s getting screwed over with crappy reactionary people and unlucky bad rep even if it isn’t warranted. Something that has existed before this mobile and universal internet world. I can think of one example of what I consider real cancelling off the top of my head. There’s almost no sympathy or care for the person though.

    Chapelle, JK Rowling, Ellen, the Vogue editor in chief, conservative actors like Chris Pratt or Kirstie Alley. That’s 6. Looking up lists of cancelled people would turn up many more. Even more so. The egregiousness of how reactionary, angry, and so sure of injustice occurring for many of these non-cancel cancelling makes it seem even more absurd. Dave Chapelle being one of the most recent and hilarious examples. He’s still selling out every ticket. Netflix and other networks still want to pay him tens of millions. Actual cancelled famous people seem to be the rare exceptions.
