The effects of cancellation primarily fall on people who don't have as much power as the Weinsteins or P-Diddys of the world. If it happened to you or me, we wouldn't take a month break from speaking at awards ceremonies then make four movies.
- os2warpman 2y ago>If it happened to you or me The only examples you gave are rapists. I can only speak for me, but it is extraordinarily unlikely to the point of impossibility that I will commit rape. If I do, I expect people to "cancel" me.
- AlexandrB 2y ago> I can only speak for me, but it is extraordinarily unlikely to the point of impossibility that I will commit rape. That's great. What do you think are the odds that someone will accuse you of rape? I suspect they're higher than "unlikely to the point of impossibility". Cancellations usually happen based on the accusation, not the conviction.

You could look in to the death threats and harassment received by scientists studying politically relevant subjects for an example.
