If someone wanted to "cancel" me, I have greater sins than having accurately summarized other writers' descriptions of their emotional relationship with the craft. Since I am taking umbrage at exactly these descriptions, I don't see the grounds.
Use of 'forbidden words' typically carries far more weight in such cancel movements than even reasonable assertions of having proper grounds for using them.
And you can rest assured that if this material fell in the wrong hands, those greater sins you mention would be revealed fairly swiftly as well, and then some.
Hence, bold. (If it was not boldness, it was just recklessness).

People have gotten cancelled for a LOT less recently. (such as, saying they prefer "pers" to "they", for example).
