> The democratization is the problem. There is usually little due process
In context of what the parent post, are you under the impression that gay people were cancelled after going through some due process?

People having done a bad thing in the past does not excuse doing a bad thing today.
edit: never did I say that a previous wrong justifies a wrong today. I'm challenging your assertion that this is "new." At the same time, I do think that some cases of so-called "cancel culture" are just fine, specifically when it's no different from any other business owner booting a customer for being abusive towards staff or other customers. Some examples of so-called "cancel culture" are in fact bad, and I agree that folks who said dumb shit 20 years ago should get some leeway if they've changed in the meantime.
