One way to understand the moral panic around cancel culture is as an elite fear of downward mobility. The members of a relatively small class, observing that they no longer have total control over their public image and therefore their salability as public figures, suddenly perceive a threat to which they were previously immune: precarity.
I will give you an example. In conversations about Louis CK with his allies in comedy, of which he has many, and with his fans, of which he has many more, one consistently hears that Louis CKfrom the revelations that he forced women to watch him masturbate. When one asks what this could possibly mean, the answer always comes: Louis CK lost millions of dollars when his projects and deals were canceled.
In what sense does one suffer from the loss of $35 million? I suppose it must be that once you lose $35 million, you can no longer spend $35 million. But there is nothing essential in this world that only $35 million can buy; the sort of things one would spend millions of dollars on are by definition luxuries. I do not have $35 million. You do not have $35 million. Are we suffering? Louis CK’s defenders would not say we are—at least, not on that account alone.

Rowling in new Netflix comedy specialDave Chappelle is being criticized on social media for comments about trans people in his latest Netflix special, particularly a defense of 'Harry Potter' author J.K. Rowling, who has been accused of transphobia for years. Oh the horror! I bet Dave never saw THAT coming. By the way, I don't think Dave gives 2 shits about social media. So whine away.
