But take say youtube for example or what going on with internet copyright as a whole. The resounding creator sentiment and those concerned with virtual liberties are troubled that the worrying shifting of the blame to the platform (like YouTube, but also facebook, twitter, Instagram, any place where user generated content can be found) instead of bad actors or just those who willingly choose to ignore the "do not pass go, do not collect" cards.

I'm sorry, but I don't follow. The specific complaints here are both on the bad actors and the platform. The blame falls on the platform because they fail to uphold their own moderation standards, and in fact stand to benefit from not enforcing them adequately. I also don't see how this relates to cancel culture.

And again I have to point out that while "cancel culture" may exist as a mindset, it doesn't fucking work. You have people yelling that X is cancelled and people like yourself railing against it, but the majority of people DO look at the story and make a decision. In this very topic you can see that. People have looked at the accusers' story and Jarad's and decided that, at the very least, it's weird as hell and the accusers could still be semi-credible. Some will be turned off enough to not watch his content, others won't. This is a normal part of discourse, and it's important to not declare ANY criticism of a creator as "cancelling" them. And ProJared himself isn't even "cancelled." He lost 200k subs over this, leaving him with a mere 800k, and appears to be climbing again. He's probably lost his WotC sponsorship, but he'll be fine.
