Guardians Of The Galaxy and The Suicide Squad director James Gunn was fired by Marvel for old tweets that someone was able to dig up.and ultimately hired by DC and then rehired by Marvel after his Galaxy mates threatened to leave the MCU.He is proof that you can return from the cornfield--but conservatives in the entertainment biz--are out of luck no matter what.
Gunn is an interesting example. I'd say his comeback is more than Galaxy mates supporting him, it's probably because he is NOT a public face such as Whoopi or Rogan.
Gunn works behind the scenes - only real hardcore movie geeks care who is - or even know who he is. A real cancel culture smackdown is mostly reserved for famed, recognizable celebrities - not so much those who work the gears behind the scenes. Though of course it's clear conservatives get hit far harder.
I think in the end, Whoopi will recover - she's probably far too much of an icon to be destroyed for good. Time will tell.
