It seems to me that the expression CANCEL CULTURE is contrived in the same way that militant atheist is contrived. Any time those in power want to stymie/stifle the marginalized or oppressed they use expressions or epithets to counter the righteous indignation of the fucked over minority. De facto cancellation of oppressed minorities has been historically overt. For instance in USA there were restrictive covenants in deeds to prevent the alienation of property to undesirables like Blacks and Jews. Motels and hotels had signs up saying restricted which people fully understood to mean no blacks or jews. Examples of de facto cancellation are numerous.
