This is a weird perspective gap that I think is sort of instructive.
An observation I've had for quite a while is that almost everyone I encounter who tells me that cancel culture "isn't real" are actually saying that they agree with cancelling the bad people.
Invariably, they start by saying it's not a real thing and never actually happens, in spite of innumerable direct examples, and immediately turn to saying that anyone to whom it does happen actually deserved it.
Here, Lindsay Ellis gets criticized for a (perfectly acceptable and correct) Tweet and shuts down her Twitter account temporarily. She calls herself "super-cancelled" in her video and then goes on to say that people on the "right" whine about being cancelled, but it's not really an issue... But she wasn't blocked or banned from any platform, she wasn't subject to a campaign to lose her job or sponsors, she wasn't booted from Patreon, YouTube didn't shut down her account.
It's lame that she's faced any backlash at all for what she said, but her take on it is shockingly lacking in self-awareness.
