As the liberal elites have taken over the arts, historically the most free to express themselves (the artists) have become the most silenced.
To be an artist, you have to show yourself - which makes the artist a prime sitting duck for offence hunters.

Here, in the North of England, freedom of expression and opinion is still permitted.
And for the online presence, I engage in well-honed double speak. That's what it takes to avoid getting cancelled. Grin and nod.
Rosie and Denise are onto a good cause. 👏
