They apparently cancelled one of their players, a woman who said that short men dont deserve human rights after it received a lot of anger (and some have said she may have said other racist things and called LGBT as mentally ill though there isnt any actual sources for those ) and there was a lost of redbull sponsers and other sponsers and all that, and then right after that they cancelled another player without giving a reason though some think it might have been some discriminatory comments he made about disabled people and gays in the past. Are they seriously having cancel culture there now too?

Japan has always had cancel culture, way before the US did. A lot of people may not know because muh #BasedJapanese and all, but that's what collectivism looks like. It just rears it's head on different topics than what the West cares about. The average Jap doesn't care about all this made up PC crap, but if they are famous they have to pretend to. If anything controversial gets the attention of corpos and the media then everybody starts piling on the "guilty" party and forcing them to make an apology or threatening their livelihood. The collective shame brings the person back in line. I know someone who immigrated from Japan to America years ago, and at first she though it was refreshing how Americans just don't give a shit about fake media controversies compared to oversensitive Japan, but lately she said America has begun acting the same way. (in fact worse)
So the question is not "are they having cancel culture", but is globalism/feminism/lgbt/oppression bullshit invading Japan now. It looks like the answer to that is yes too.
Feminism is the least of that. Globalism and trying to do the bare minimum to appease the UN and US is what's going to kill the country.
What Assassin47 said plus Japanese gamers and nerds have always been spregs so they never miss an opportunity to fake bitch so a team they don't like gets gimped in favor of their favorite for bragging rights. Kinda like actual sports in the west where something obviously bullshit happens and half of the fans are fine with it because 'muh team gonna win this year'. Tribalism and general dickishness.
The manlets know no mercy.
