Roy Kean on Alfe Ing Haarland would be one, although I think his thuggish timing was perfect, just saying like.

And that fits the examples I gave of a rare situation that is out of the norm. Keane was given a record fine and a ban after his autobiography came out for the incident.
He only got a 3 match ban at the time for ending Haarland’s career though so yes, a bit of perspective required. If Songo’o is found to be guilty of the alleged offence then further punishment is right but, although not good or nice, it’s not career ending for the recipient.

Common misconception that Keane ended his career. However it’s total nonsense as it was the other knee to that one that Keane injured that forced him to retire

The difference is that a tackle is normally part of the game, and accidental. In the rare situations a player has done something extreme and out of the norm, like Ben Thatcher's elbow or Suarez's bite, the ban has been considerably extended.
Homophobia is absolutely not part of the game, there was no reason for him to make the comment he did, and we should be doing everything we can to eradicate it from the game. I don't think it can be compared with a mis-timed tackle, which is usually unfortunate rather than malicious. A homophobic slur isn't accidental (unless he was discussing his dinner, which I guess we'll find out when the FA release more details).
That's the perspective/context I see it with.

Self appointed judge and jury.
It's not proven so to suggest otherwise is wrong....
