Incidents like this make it clear that cancel culture is really mostly about competition for scarce jobs. It only incidentally connects with sex because that’s what people are most terrified about these days. If they were terrified, I don’t know, of pets being abused, then the accusations would be that this or that person abuses their cat.
In markets where jobs competition is the most fierce and vicious is where aspects of cancel culture show up most frequently. Not really surprising at all.
