I'm not sure what you mean about the definition of cancel culture "going both ways". But I'm not dying on a hill. And certainly not for Joe Rogan. I just "feel the world is worse off" when we engage in disingenuous, puritanical attacks on people's character. I feel the world is worse off when we represent disagreements dishonestly. I think the world is worse off when we demonise each other instead of talking to each other.
And because I actually believe in these principles, I extend them to everybody. Even people I sometimes disagree with.
