This isn't cancel culture. This is justice, though a mild form of it.
Huge difference.

Just because I think it’s fricking ridiculous to rake this person over the coals for what he did when he was a little kid does not mean I fricking endorse his actions as a child. It just means I understand that he was a kid, and you can’t go back in time and correct what you did as a little kid.
Everyone else understands he isn't a time traveler as well. But everyone else has called him out for what he is based on his alleged actions: a complete lunatic.
What was described goes well beyond making a poor decision. Then to go on years later and brag about it to a media publication solidifies the thinking he's a psychopath.

What if he murdered another kid when he was a kid...would you be ok with that as well?

I knew this guy in Jr high/high school that was one of the absolute worst arse holes Ive ever run into. He would put kids heads in toilets, and intimidate whoever he would because he was was bigger than everyone else and mean as hell. Nobody liked the guy because he was such an insufferable arse hat, but that never deterred him from continuing with his antics and making everyone’s life suck when they encountered him.
FF 30 years, and I run into the guy at a HS reunion. Man, did I loath having to even talk with this guy, but it turns out he was one of the nicest guys in the room. I mean legitimately a completely different human being from the one I was familiar with 30 years ago. Another class mate and I were talking with him, and my buddy just came out and said how much of a dick he was in front of him to which he readily admitted to it, and proceeded to apologize at length for his actions and you could tell that it was very sincere. Some time afterward the same buddy and I were talking about him, and how floored I was how much of a change occurred in him over the years and he told me something I was completely unaware of and brought some perspective to it all. Turns out, the guy was being abused by his dad all throughout school, and literally had the shite beat out of him on a regular basis since he was a little kid. This obviously made him a very mean SOB, and while that didn’t discount what he did as a kid of course, it did bring some perspective to it all, and given his complete 180 degree change in direction in his life over those 30 years or so, you are forced with 2 options. Either you’re going to hang on to all that shite some 30 years ago, or you’re going to put it in perspective, forgive people, and move on like an adult.
This generation wants to hang him in effigy, be it to look good, or because it reminds them of past hurts in their own lives they’ve never really dealt with. I say it’s fruitless, and serves absolutely no purpose, and who’s really hurt by all of this are those who hang on to that shite and continue to carry the load of unforgiveness for the rest of their lives. They’re the one’s who carry the burden. What’s done is done. You can either learn to lay shite down and forgive for your own sake those hurts that bullying or whatever affected you as a kid, or carry it around with you like a boulder on your back, but if you do decide to keep hanging on to it and lugging it around, know that it will have a very real affect on your health, both mentally and physically, and will affect your own relationships going forward as well.

I guess you missed the part where he is still bragging about what he did as a kid in an interview.
I agree with you in that holding people to today's standards for things they did long ago is pretty stupid in general. But this isn't one of those cases. This guy is said to ha e done things that go well beyond kids being dumb and making stupid choices. Especially considering he's still bragging about it decades later.
I don't understand where you aren't seeing a difference in what you're talking about and what this guy did.

So using Mike da tigah’s logic nobody should ever face any punishment for their actions because it’s in the past and who does it really help? This wasn’t childish mistakes, this was sexual abuse and severe physical and mental abuse. There is little difference in what this guy did and if he had raped the mentally challenged children. No arbitrary amount of time takes away his responsibility for his actions. I would be fine if he had to register as a sex offender if Japan has that status.

I do see Mike da Tigah’s point in that people can change, and if someone has truly changed and atoned for their actions, “cancelling” them serves no useful purpose and prevents them from doing any future good. If there is no forgiveness or starting over, can anyone truly change for the better? Didn’t St. Augustine rape his own mother or something (forgive me i’m no bible scholar but i think i read that somewhere?)
This guy, though. Idk. If he’s still bragging about it then it doesn’t sound like he’s changed. And what he did is one of the most sick and twisted things i’ve read. He needs to live out the rest of his days like a saint to come back from that.

I laughed at the kid that used to throw up on the bus 4 times a month.
