Cancel culture is a political weapon.

In its purest form, what it does is to attempt to remove an individual which is
uncomfortable for the cancellers from the scene and to remove his options for
making a living.

Back to the RPG examples: if cancellers start campaigning in order to prevent
people from buying somebody s product, what they are doing is to say "This guy
does not deserve to make a living"

DO you know what happens when you prevent people from making a living? They
die.

It is literally a "Comply or die" weapon and should be regarded as such.

It would be less of a problem if the lynch mob was not started by the silliest
of ideas.
