Not really the best champion for this.
Where Cancel culture is concerning is in the journalism and academic field. (Note that Wendy Mesley not being able to say N*** is not included in this concern) but there needs to be Academic and journalistic freedom from boundary pushing in those fields. It isn’t as big of issue as many make it out to be.
Outside of that people who make their living in public opinion losing their livelihood because public opinion changes is not a concern. So celebrities and entertainers being canceled is not a concern. Unless of course you are also concerned that a celebrity is created. The rise of celebrity culture certainly is.
If I no longer read Harry Potter because the author has views that I don’t agree with that is a perfectly reasonable outcome.

I'm not sure this is an accurate statement regarding Rowlings' ideology and is at best, extremely reductive. i'm not sure I have a take on this one way or the other but her opinion seems quite well thought out and nuanced.
