I don't believe anything deserves to be targeted for canceling. It's basically the main thing that polarizes me against progressivism, the obsession with speech control.
I just don't fear violent rhetoric. It's not something that merits a reaction, in my view.
Basically, if an author can say it in a book, then random citizens ought to be able to say it on the internet.
So you're not concerned about it if it doesn't target you personally. Fair enough, not everyone has empathy for their fellow human beings.

As far as I know, authors can't attempt to incite real violence in books, either. But imminence is a relevant factor you're ignoring. A book may take weeks, months or years to publish, whereas a death threat on the internet can be acted upon almost immediately.
