The "canceling" thing started on Tumblr quite some time ago, where the activists would investigate the history of celebrities and then get outraged over something that happened decades ago. Our legacy media for some reason is overly infatuated with social media mobs like that, and amplifies the postings of maybe 10s of thousands of people/kids/bots far beyond their actual value as a measure of public opinion. (Tumblr, for example is where taking mega-offense to a "microaggression" became a thing for society at large)
Interesting, I remember my husband having to take a training about micro aggressions at the college where he works. It was probably two or three years before the pandemic.
