P.S. you should look into more recent JK Rowling crap before claiming she is a paragon of virtue.
I don't make any claims about her virtue, making claims on her virtue instead of debating what she's saying is the actual problem.
There is little to no difference between "cancel culture" and what they are actually talking about, it's pretty much the same phenomenon. Do some people use that term to justify actual racism? Yes. But there's also a sliver of people that make flimsy or even false claims about racism or other forms of bigotry, as their own attempt to virtue signal, or even their way of using power against others. Both are happening. It's up to sane people to try to keep a grip on reality.
