CANCEL CULTURE IS A GOOD THING.

This blog post about Gervais is excellent. 

Cheer up, you worried wannabe celebrities. Cancel culture is simply a natural correction in a society which has shifted honor and respect from the noble to the crass. 

A society cannot function if it is being guided by airheaded  adolescents with several million subscribers on social media. Celebrity in an instant-media age is not an accurate measure of anything other than the distractibility of overstimulated human brains. Quality of human life has improved by the hard work of brilliant engineers, inventors and researchers who plod the frustrating path of Science. It has not increased due to the makeup tips of a teen transgender person. 

Cancel culture is a healthy reaction to mass celebrity obsession. If celebrity becomes the unchecked sole measure of personal worth, society will descend into disarray. 

Cancel culture is the antidote to the poison of social media based in the lowest common denominator of human existence. That poison leads to conformist hypocrisy and the creation of false personality in order to harvest "friends" and "likes". That poison fosters narcissist editing of personality rather than examination, change and growth.

The dangling sword of cancel culture is a healthy threat in an age of hypocrisy. The truthful, resourceful and self-sufficient have nothing to fear from it. Ricky Gervais has taken that sword of cancel culture and wields it mercilessly at those who deserve its wrath. And the more grounded masses and celebrities applaud. 

Do not bemoan the media assassination of a rapist or paedophile. Canceling the influence of Hollywood phonies, one by one, is healthy for the society. Cancel culture may be replacing the Judeo-Christian Ethic in an age when public education has discarded it. Think of it as ethical education for those who never had it in the first place.

As for those who wring their hands and gnash their teeth when they are threatened with being cancelled on social media, I suggest looking at your dependency on these forums. There are many socially productive ways to earn a living off line. Perhaps some education and leaving the house would help? If cancel culture truly frightens you, you should examine who you really are. If cancel culture causes you to do that, it is truly a good thing.
