People are pointing out that Rowling is a terrible person and that we should stop giving her money and stop allowing her to be a celebrity because her proper place is in disgrace.
(The real reason for not teaching Shakespeare in school, or most of the other books that get taught in high school, is that kids don't enjoy him and forcing them to read "the classics" mostly just teaches them to hate reading.)

That there are authors and publishers who have cancelled books due to public outcry would say there are people calling for that. Those authors who want to get their work out still do either through reworking it or finding a publisher who’ll publish it or self publishing.
Cancel culture may not be a things but there are voices calling for the cancellation of authors.
