Yes I am the one who mentioned Cancel Culture. My point is what you are describing, namely "bad behavior erases you from the story", is NOT what Cancel Culture is. We would just call that boycotting. Its responsible and when justified what society SHOULD do.

My point is responsible boycotting, as you describe, is distinctly different from Cancel Culture which is where boycotting is using frivilously, irresponsibly, against actors who are not clearly bad actors but nebulous at best, and where such canceling is central to the culture.

Im all for good responsible boycotts, but Cancel Culture, the irresponsible use, is a valid concern and good to call out as well.

Now as i said if this counts as a legit boycott or Cancel Culture is a a matter of opinion.
