>>54280469The point of "cancel culture" is that no crime was actually committed, thus the individual cannot be punished via arrest/prison, so the mob punishes them with social consequences instead.
Nobody says R Kelly was "cancelled", because he actually committed a serious crime which landed him in prison for a long long time. But let's say you have someone who gets dropped from their record label because of an unprovable accusation of "grooming" or because they had controversial political opinions. That's a cancelling, because that individual did not commit any act that is actually punishable by the law, yet he had his career ruined anyway.
