I wasn’t talking about hate speech, but the accusation of not having empathy or that I couldn’t imagine how it feels having rising hate.

There are indeed "cancel culture things" happening, I already experienced some, at least e.g. downvotes etc.

Or people that assume things about you that either aren’t true, way too exaggerated or couldn’t be known by them without direct proof (like for example the accusation of having no empathy).

But I wasn’t talking about feelings, just knowledge.

It’s even the opposite, I can imagine the rising hate and violence of certain things outside of my control, because the cancel culture is something like this.

It’s outside of my control and it feels like hate against people who don’t support everything they say or do.

And it’s not just an exaggeration, my depression is partly due to the rising probability of "being canceled" for stuff that was misunderstood or that was arbitrarily or wrongly deemed bad.

You don’t have to be in no minority to not feel threatened.

That’s like the take "if you aren’t a women you don’t know much about female bodies".

No, a man, that studied the human anatomy for decades, probably knows much more about the (female) human body than an average woman.

No, there is a limit to what is disproportionate.

People murder each other every day, yet the governments, where murder is illegal, can’t cope with it or what?

No, because it would require so much intervention (censoring) to stop it completely, that it’s better to let some people do it.
