Nothing wrong with canceling that which we find deserving.

The issue is the frivolity in which we "cancel" these days has reached a point of absurdity.

Conceptually I agree, but who's the "we" in this example?
We're constantly seeing examples of things that make no sense, like censoring things because someone gets offended by it.
Like you said, it's easier and easier for things to get removed no matter how small the protest or inconsequential the subject.
And as a result we have good cancelations and bad cancelations, depending on which side each one of us is... 😉

The human race or any group thereof.
