I'm still waiting for a substantial list of authors who have been fired. From the links Paperbackstash provided, I counted a single author who saw themselves terminated. Books were dropped either at the authors request, which hardly counts as firing, or by the publisher but without dropping the author.
Only in the case of the author who tweeted support of Rowling did the author get fired, and that was from a collective authorship of a YA series, the publishers stating that she connected her views the the ficticious author of the series.
Several of the links were about an author already mentioned, who did not actually get cancelled and later went ahead and published a revised book. And there were two, I believe, about an author who had their first book lambasted though it was published.
So where are these cancelled authors? YA Twitter is certainly a hot mess, but it's not getting the vast majority of its targets removed.
