However, if you want to use extremes, so can I.
If given two choices.
A) Moderated and censored speech at the whim of a governing body.
B) Unadulterated, no holds barred free speech.
I'm taking B every time.
I am not worried about, and have the capacity to ignore the minority of nut jobs. I am not personally going to stand on roof stops spewing hate and racism. I will continue wondering through life just treating everyone as an equal, on their merits of being a human being. What others do is not my responsibility. Nor should I have my rights limited, because there are people that choose to not install a filter.

You still have not let me know exactly what you think Cancel Culture is. I am trying to understand.
Because as of right now my understanding of your point is:
1) Cancel Culture shouldn't exist, unmoderated free speech is better
2) Free market is when someone is held accountable for what they do or say, but not when its something you agree with, then its "Cancel Culture. Free Market is Kanye's situation (probably because he was talking bad about Jewish people??)
3) Cancel Culture Example Jordan Peterson, who wasn't cancelled, so why is he an example?
4) You believe there are only two options, unmoderated free speech and totalitarian regime, as if there is no gray area between the two that can exist.
5) You don't understand what "Free Speech" is, or what is and isn't a right.
