Clearly, people that have been the target of mild criticism before launching a well paid speaking tour, book, media career and/or TV show.
Society/Culture Has cancel culture gone too far?

Martin Luther King
Harvey Milk
Etc
We currently have book burning gatherings in the US when evangelical Christians burn books that offend them.
Conservatives and religious folk have been 'cancelling' people and ideas for centuries. Those same people today complaining about cancel culture represent one of the most incredible amalgams of hypocrisy and irony in recent memory.

We really should. If there was an email address, I'd be happy to keep sending them passage after passage.
What's funny is Mad Magazine ran a piece back in the 1980s, about the very issue of book banning. 40 years later and the Christian lobby is still at it.

Damn i want to become a priest now , just so i can recite that passage to a church full of boring conservatives.
Southern Christians tried to cancel the Beatles, i think it boosted sales.
All because of this.....
“Christianity will go,” Lennon said, according to Cleave’s article. “It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue about that; I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first—rock ’n’ roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It’s them twisting it that ruins it for me.” As Cleave noted in the profile, Lennon had been using his time off from Beatles commitments to read about religion.

The only people that use the term cancel culture are the slack jawed mouth breathers that got played by Murdoch (SKY/FOX/HUN) for redneck hillbilly yokels.
Ole Rupe keeps the great unwashed in a constant state of outrage at those damn lefties and their evil gender agenda and feeds the terrified wingnuts loony conspiracy after loony conspiracy, all the while praying none of those walking knobs with ears ever realize they are paying more tax than him.
and ps: if you target minorities, are racist or sexist, hell I'm gonna throw fascist in as well, then you need to be cancelled, in the old days you'd have been ejected from the tribe and the wolves would have torn you to pieces... sometimes you can't improve on the old ways.

'I don't get cancelled!': John Cleese rails against cancel culture
English actor and comedian, John Cleese, says that in the age of “cancel culture”, he won’t get cancelled because his audiences are “pre-selected” to like him and his humour. Cleese told Ben Fordham, “I don’t get cancelled because I do stage shows…People think to themselves, I like him, so I’ll...

Cleese hasn't been funny in decades, he should just accept that, not make excuses.
But let's face it, he's rich, old, male and white, what else is he gonna say?
Here's the basic difference between the left and the right:
Right: Law of the jungle, kill or be killed, it's not cheating, it's an edge, the cream will rise to the top and the rest don't deserve any power, they are merely to be used for the furtherment of the 'real' people. Smacks of Nazism I know but that's pretty much it.
Left: We're all in this together, not everyone is born rich or powerful or can ever have access to those things so they need a helping hand from their brothers and sisters because everyone despite race age sex preference etc is equal, what happens to one of us happens to us all.
Choose your team.
