It's something where if someone said/done anything incendiary in the past they should be "banished" from society.

>2. Who exactly has PC/Cancel culture actually harmed?
Most people deserve it because they either harmed/terrorized other people, have not shown any contrition for what they've said/done, or have tried to sweep things under the rug.
But you have cases like Aziz Ansari, who got railroaded over a bad date.

Some monetary. Sarah Silverman lost a job recently, and others take a massive hit to their reputation.
