Later we can just agree to call it 'consequences' and then deny that shaming is a thing.

I'm still unclear on the distinction between "canceling" and "shaming." If it's merely a matter of intent on the part of the canceler/shamer, then the distinction further blurs. Are you really sure that shamers aren't just another type of troll? Perhaps trolling does provide a positive externality in this case. A few million Larry David style social enforcers would be positive in this model, even if such people were motivated by trolling or other internalized psychological benefits.
