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.

You would think the Indians would have Thanksgiving shut down for being a racist holiday, yet they show up at the parade held on land that was taken from them and they don't have the city/county shut the parade down because it traumatizes them to watch it. The country has a fucked up history, but once you start to allow any attempt to shed light on history by talking about all sides of it, (that includes the Confederate side, and the side of the original slaveowners, the founding fathers like George Washington and James Madison) you end up trying to keep people in the dark about it by having everything cancelled that doesn't agree with what you think history should have been like, in a past where everything and everyone was wonderful and decent, and history was never like that because people are human and not inherently good (or bad). People are people, they always have been fucked up.
People nowadays think that somebody owes it to them to cancel everything they don't like, even if somebody else might learn something from it. It's one thing if you want to cover your own kids eyes and ears everywhere they go, it's another thing to tell everybody ese they have to do the same things the same way you do.

Cancel Culture is a term describing what stupid women do when they want a rich or famous person to lose their status. They often take to social media in order to attempt to “cancel” a person, and usually do it by bringing up something that the target said or did a long time ago. People involved in cancel culture are always leftists, and usually partake in it because they are jealous of another person’s status yet don’t want to work to improve their own.
Girl #1: “I really hate that Eminem is rich and famous and I’m not.”
Girl #2: “OMG YASS LET’S CANCEL HIM!”
Girl #1: “OMG CANCEL CULTURE IS SO MUCH EASIER THAN IMPROVING MYSELF!”
