Thanks. It looks to me that much of what’s being described at these links is about the atmosphere among the students at American universities, which then also starts affecting the professors there. That would explain my confusion, since a large fraction of my academic friends are European, so largely unaffected by these developments.
there could be a number of explanations aside from cancel culture not being that bad in academia.
I do hear them complain about various other things though, and I also have friends privately complaining about cancel culture in non-academic contexts, so I’d generally expect this to come up if it were an issue. But I could still ask, of course.
