Regarding the latest cancelled people and their subsequent responses, I think if anyone makes a genuine misstep while in an environment that refuses to allow anyone to gracefully rectify their mistakes, the only way to apologize is on account of violating their precepts as an integral part of becoming the best version of themselves. Apologizing not out of a sense of compunction and moral betterment, but to placate an angry rabble doesn't do anyone favors; you owe it to yourself only.
