1. Elon Musk
2. JK Rowling (including Hogwarts Legacy fgs, which wasn't even made by her.)
3. Donald Trump
4. Stellar Blade
5. Final Fantasy XVI
6. McDonald's
7. Starbucks
8. A bunch of YouTubers just for having a different opinion to them
Obviously this is the far right and far left, not what I would call the moderates on either side, that I just want to make clear.

If people cry that they're being cancelled, but maintain the exact same status as before, then they haven't been cancelled.
Cancelling corporations doesn't count. The right has a whole saying called "go woke, go broke" based on cancelling any business that appears the least bit progressive. Bud light ring any bells?
In short, I think cc does exist on a very small scale on both the left and right, and anyone crying about being cancelled is using it to boost their personal platforms, especially as most people seem to moan about being cancelled in newspapers, on TV, or to their millions of followers, which sort of downplays their own arguments.
