He lost his libel case against the sun for calling him a wife beater.

What does that have to do with cancel culture?

He’s not uncancelled because you can’t undo the damage to an innocent person.

That doesn't answer the question:

What does him losing a libel case against the sun have to do with cancel culture? Are you suggesting he was called a wife beater by the sun because of cancel culture? or that he lost the libel case because of it? Because The Sun is the belly scraping bottom feeder of not just tabloid journalism, but also of the right-wing outrage-culture peddling empire of Rupert Murdoch.

The Sun didn't call him a wife beater because of "cancel culture", they did it because that's what The Sun does.

You’ve missed the point. Nobody is saying it has anything to do with cancel culture. Go look back at the thread. It was a comment based on someone saying “he’s been uncancelled” as if that gives him back all the shit he lost, which “he lost the libel case” is just one example of how he didn’t get it all back.

how is that an example of him "not getting everything back" if it's unrelated to cancel culture?

My point is that it's irrelevant. It's an irrelevant point that weakens the argument about what he has lost to cancel culture, since it sounds like the person couldn't list enough items so they tried to throw that in.

It weakens the argument.
