I think, this is what contemporary cancel culture usually tries to do.

I also think, that this is wrong on most occasions. Maybe sometimes possible damage warrants cancelling someone, I don't know

I agree. Uproars like this reflect an irrational fear that rewarding someone for one reason also rewards everything else about them, including stuff we don't approve of. We see a ton of crowd-sourced demonization nowadays. Yes, you cured cancer but you also liked the wrong tweets, so no Nobel Prize for you, spawn of Satan.
