Because all I've got is Kevin Spacey.

People talk of this like it was a huge problem that destroyed lives. So I feel like there should be plenty of names.

Kevin Spacey is doing pretty well when you compare him to James Somerton lol. ofc that's hardly a typical example of cancel culture either, given that it had zero to do with SA allegations and he instead got wiped from public existence for plagiarism, which is very easy to prove conclusively in a longform youtube video. But i feel i need to bring it up because it's an actual example of that exceptionally rare thing where somebody's reputation gets totally, irreparably obliterated from one day to the next. Guy only exists as a punchline for tumblr posts nowadays.

Oh yeah James Somerton might actually be the person who was genuinely the most cancelled. As in he did a thing that wasn't just a serius crime and as a result of it no longer had a career.
