I suspect that you are already inclined to be concerned about 'cancel culture' and you are filtering this news accordingly.

I know it's true because of stories like that were linked in this thread. It's not a shadowy group who is pressuring, of course, they are quite open about it. But calling it shadowy does let you imply that anyone who noticed the campaign is obviously some sort of conspiracy nut.
Yes, I am quite concerned about the cancel culture, no scare quotes needed. We need to get back to the old ACLU ideal of "I don't believe in what you say, but I defend your right to say it". Kind of funny that back then, it was considered enlightened and liberal, but now it's just a bunch of conservative conspiracy nuts who believe it.
