It's amazing how many snowflake comedians start crying about being cancelled and then go on to have numerous netflix specials about it. Almost like they were never actually cancelled in the first place but they learnt that if they said they were enough times, the terminally dim people who enjoy their material will pay money to see their bully fantasies played out on stage by an old rich guy.
'cancelled' is now simply "people were mean to me on shitter". Their right to express vile horseshit is obviously intact.
Same as it ever was. They always roll out these new words to convey their shock and disgust at the fact that they have to deal with the consequences of their actions.
This is as relevant as ever:

Every Edgy Millionaire Comedian -- roughly the same joke but the Columbus thing makes me chuckle every time
As seen in these very comments 😂
"Oh sure we can't joke on trans people but you get to swing at Dave Chappelle!?"
Love this bit and will upvote it every time.
This is a good point. These jokes aren't just bad, they're boring. Why not just tell jokes about airline food?
