I was with you up until here. This is blatantly wrong. Regular people are being cancelled all the time. Besides, people in prestigious positions deserve due process just like anyone else. Cancel culture intentionally circumvents any semblance of due process or fairness.

For the record, I'm not making any statement either for or against "cancel culture" in general, just articulating how I think it differs from boycotts.
