If I rephrase your position, cancel culture is problematic because it punishes a person even if they have admitted their wrongdoing, and the punishment (losing a job, etc.) is disproportionate to the harm caused. It seems to me that cancel culture aims to replace a justice system that has not proven itself. Do you agree with this rephrasing? Let me clarify what I mean by “system of justice.” In this system of justice, for example, it is considered that a teenager who participates in bullying subordinates within a boy band and who, a few years later, publicly expresses regret has paid enough of a price, and there is a certain amount of understanding toward him—he just needed to mature. This system allows the boy band as a system to persist. On this point, cancel culture targets a system. If the boy bands of “little jerks” disappear, no one is going to complain. But there are far more dangerous boy bands—and it is these ones for which I have doubts about the effectiveness of cancel culture.
