A popular trend among social media users allowing activists to publicly shame, or "cancel", media influencers for previous inflammatory posts, sexual allegations, and discriminatory behavior. Cancel culture surfaced due to the similar public shaming trend, the #MeToo movement, where women call out sexual predators. As a result of the cancellation, the individual may lose their job, their status on social media, and their reputation. Canceled people are mainly ostracized even to the point of social media users boycotting products or shows related to the individual.
Brock Turner is Cancel Culture's newest player and has lost his reputation after he was accused of raping an intoxicated woman.

The Cancel Culture Crowd (CCC) (also known as the Cancel Culture Crows) are a notorious segment of the radical left-wing SJWs that seek to cancel the lives, reputations and careers of everyone who has a slightly different belief, opinion or value. Recently, they've attempted to cancel the Washington Football Team's backup quarterback Taylor Heinicke for voting for Donald Trump out of jealousy and to prevent him from getting paid a higher contract in the offseason after a brilliant performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. What's more, they will stoop so low that they will target famous individuals from history who are no longer alive especially well-respected civil rights leaders such as Helen Keler, Mahatma Gandhi and now Martin Luther King Jr. Their agenda is to use blind ignorance, fascism and irrational yet an emotional way of thinking to manipulate and change history to their liking.
Oh my goodness! We're in 2021, and now these unemployed nuts are targeting Martin Luther King Jr.! Well, I can't say I'm surprised! The Cancel Culture Crowd (CCC) can't stop canceling as they have nothing better to do with their lives!
