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.
