No. Cancel culture is not real. Chris Brown had a sold out tour like two weeks ago, come on. Its just another right-wing bogeyman so it doesnt have to be real.

Moderation isnt cancel culture its moderation. No large enough online space can be unmoderated because thats how you get 8chan. The mods were absolutely right given that plums initial post before walking it back was equating being part of a vulnerable minority to being a far-right extremist. If anything they went soft on him.

The difference between moderation and cancel culture is, moderation actually works. Look at various obscene figures who were banned then unbanned from twitter. The ban actually significantly hurt their ability to influence the public and cause harm. If somebody is cancelled it only increases their public profile. So moderation of internet spaces is a good way to combat extremism.

Edit: Also the right can win elections because it has an electoral system stacked in its favour and a solid chunk of the population who identify as Republicans and will never vote any other way.
