There's a huge difference between being punished (criminal, civil, social) for something you've done, and being punished for what you "are" (lgbtq, pro choice, minority).

We're seeing huge conflations that aim to put them in the same boat. trump is the biggest abuser of it, he literally calls anybody trying to hold him accountable (first group), a trump hater (second group) in order to amplify the victim card and appear that it's unjust.

Cancelled in general, is basically something the right is clutching. It's change. It's social nullification (as they see it) of their belief structure. They want to and insist that it's OK to celebrate our slave holders, queer haters, and Christian hypocrisy so long as it's under the mantle of personal choice and religious freedom. This is how they feel cancelled.

Conversely, since they hate queers, women, poor people and foreigners, they're more than willing to silence those groups and define it under "family values".

Someone getting punished in a world they live in, like the public eye, for being either criminally entitled, or criminal in general isn't a big deal. Society didn't suffer their absence. Life went on. If the punishment was merely social, they have a litany of careers they are welcome to explore. That's not being cancelled. That's suffering consequences, either from the legal system or society.
