I'm starting to be persuaded by the idea that a lot of people are going along with this because it's easy. It doesn't really affect them. And if it does, they'll sort of make peace with it because they don't want to make a fuss. I think one of the most pernicious impacts of cancel culture is not that it tries to take down people like JK Rowling or Ricky Gervais. These people are uncancelable in many ways. But what it does do is it sends a message to the rest of society.
