I think it makes her an excellent example when used in a set of other examples; people expected it to work better than it did and when it was like firing a BB gun at a freight train, they became increasingly frustrated and aggressive.

Some people are FURIOUS that JK Rowling is not cancelled.

The argument that cancel culture doesn't exist because it doesn't often work is quite a flimsy one. The fact that it often fails is largely irrelevant.
