How about Aziz Ansari? He had a bad date and was cancelled as a sex offender.
Louis CK jerked off in front of consenting people but was a monster because... he was ... a successful comic? And held power? He had to disappear for 2 years for his crimes, McCarthy being the ultimate in cancel culture.
I mean, this is a silly discussion. We could side track this thread for months posting examples.
edit: This a great one. A bakery was wrongfully accused of racism. The university had to pay millions in damages for their libel and slander. Still thinks they were in the right.

People who take offense with the term "woke mob" totally fair. I knew what I was doing when I used it, and I can understand how it can seem divisive. But people who actually think this isn't a real thing going on, I have no idea how to even have a conversation with that level of head-in-sand. |
People never used to care that pop stars slept with kids back in the 70's, didn't care if they beat their girlfriends or drunkenly exposed themselves, while in the 50's if you got caught being gay or had any vague left wing leanings you couldn't get a job anywhere.
The only thing that has changed is what people get offended by and the ease at which seemingly intelligent adults can broadcast their crappy offensive or just plain dumb opinions on twitter without realising that almost everyone reading it immediately thinks they are a ######bag once they read it, that's not a woke mob its just the opinion of the vast majority of the 'fans', Diaper Drawers Ted Nugent doesn't get cancelled because the only people that liked him in the first place are middle aged to elderly dudes with a right wing tendency anyway, Mumford and Sons have an audience of middle class vaguely leftish women, if Nugent suddenly tweeted Trump was a liar that Obama was the best President in his lifetime Assault weapons should be banned and abortion is a woman's right to chose he would be cancelled by the few hundred thousand twats that still like him
