Cancel Culture is when someone is called out on social media for something they did, or for an opinion, in the present or past that turns society against them and it goes viral ruining that persons career or online popularity.

Celebrities in particular whine about it and call it cyber bullying because it's a form of organic criticism they can't control the narrative of.
Be careful talking politics on your twitch stream or cancel culture is going to end you.

A group of detractors of a person, typically originating from Twitter, who typically verbally insults and attempts to convince others that the person they are "canceling" is a terrible person.

It typically begins when one or more persons speak out and accuse a person, typically popular, of terrible things (ex. pedophilia, domestic abuse, harassment, etc.). They usually produce a lack of evidence or screenshots/videos, and/or evidence that is out of context.

Once this information is released, those that believe the accuser immediately believe the person accused has done everything and will begin publically posting or sharing the original accusation to spread the information even more.

Cancel culture usually continues until the accused releases a reply that disproves the accusations or apologized for what they have done. Afterward, most of the culture will change sides, forgive the accused, or refuse to watch the accused's proof and continue harassing them.

Cancel culture typically makes memes or image edits of the accused and usually calls them a "clown" and uses clown emojis. Cancel culture over time has been more and more distrusted due to several instances of false accusations and sometimes they are ignored.

Popular victims of cancel culture (even if the accused actually did the actions) include ProJared, Ano ASMR, JnJ Memes (Bush), Onision, etc.
The cancel culture has been very dedicated when Onision was accused of being a groomer and other accusations. It only became worse when Onision uploaded a series of fake meltdowns, especially after his Patreon was deleted after he Doxxed someone.

The customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group that all seem to get offended enough to cancel a show, product, call for firing of a person, etc. No evidence or logic is required.
Rick: Hey Dave Chappelle's new Netflix specials are funny as hell.

James: Yea, I couldn't stop laughing. Sad though that he gets grief from the SJWs about jokes and they call for him to be taken off the air. Cancel Culture is ruining our society.

To be cancelled is to be exposed in a way that destroys your online reputation. This happening to you when you deserved it is not cancel culture.

Cancel Culture is the result of somebody trying too hard to be "woke" and looking to cancel somebody to prove their wokeness. If you're woke, you don't need to prove it. See performative wokeness.

The term is often maliciously misused by those that deserved it, usually implying that the cancellers are just "WHINY SJW LIBTARDS". See Shaggy defense.

A toxic community on the internet who will cancel you for something you did in the past even if you have changed, or even something you did today, also they can cancel you for no reason because you can do absolutely nothing and you will get cancel, they can also create their own narrative because they don't use logic or facts but follow the herd, and they can bully you into apologizing just to give u a big FU. They pretty much get nothing out of it.

Cancel culture is just a bunch of narcissistic psychopaths on social media who vilifies people to feel important. They always take the chance when given and stretch it as much as they can, as long as they can create a narrative that portrays people in a bad light, no matter the fucking context. Their intent is more about self-empowerment rather than resolving a problem, not actually giving a flying fuck whether people improve or not. What they want in the end is always useless fucking selfish prestige instead of thoughtful and considerate nourishment of other people.

If you genuinely want someone to learn their mistakes, how about just holding people accountable instead of fuelling your fucking worthless ego by causing more harm than they originally did? How about moving on with your own fucking life instead of wasting your goddamn time nitpicking in other people’s lives?

The people who partake in cancel culture are objectively the most counter-intuitive and unproductive group of hive-minded hypocrites on the Internet. They call others out without any second thought and throw out all logic, meanwhile silencing all opposing voices, all with the purpose of continuing their pointless fucking agenda. The worst scenario is when the motive for cancelling is based on something that happened years ago, and then automatically supporting the notion of that past event accurately representing the attitude of the current personality.
Do you realise you don’t need to call out everything you see on the Internet? This shit happens A LOT, and this sort of bullshit response causes more problems than before because people on the Internet will ALWAYS disagree with you no matter what. Along with that, there will be other problematic people who would mindlessly fucking join in to create this mass harassment cult, where they could potentially cyber bully people into suicide. If you see something that is quite offensive, you can simply ignore it and move onto more meaningful shit.

Cancel culture is basically the Salem witch trials of the Internet. Humanity has gone full circle.
