Cancel culture is not boycotting. At least not what most people consider boycotting. Boycotting usually there's to not giving money to a company to try to get the company to change their ways (yes you could argue it is a way to try and cancel the company) cancel culture is trying to get someone fired, or get their event, contact, whatever cancelled. Because you don't like them.
It isn't the same thing. Boycotting is telling people "please don't prize company x" while cancellation is going above that person and asking them to remove the person.
Totally different concepts.
And it is mean and nasty, it is basically giving someone a death sentence for something they may not have even done.
And of course you have every right to ask for someone to be cancelled. But you should use that right judicially. And make sure the punishment fits the crime.
