Cancel Pig

( noun) A terminally online social justice warrior that spend all their time trying to cancel anyone that disagrees with them. Cancel Pigs will engage in insidious and malicious mob posting on social media attempting to paint their victim with the worst labels imaginable and drive away any social or professional ties. Once someone has been targeted, Cancel Pigs will hound them for the rest of their life. Every time a victim of a Cancel Pigs has the slightest hint of something good happening for them the Cancel Pigs descend to spread vitriol and do everything in their power to destroy that good thing

Cancel Pigs use guilt-by-association as a terror tactic to make people afraid of interacting with the target in any way lest they bring the mob of Cancel Pigs down upon their own head and have their life ruined.

Cancel Pig

An adult crybully or tattletale; a person or group who uses accusations and peer pressure to coerce people, companies, and institutions as well as destroy them reputationally and financially.

Cancel Pigs attack by accusing others of wrongdoing, sometimes real but sometimes an event that is misconstrued or taken out of context. The unforgivingness, along with exaggeration of emotion and impact is what separates the Cancel Pig from a genuinely concerned individual, as well as the occasional list of demands, such as a business changing a product or terminate an employee . They usually work in concert but also can be individuals with access to a news outlet or social media following. Thankfully they are ineffective if ignored but grow more bold and dangerous the more their demands are yielded to.
"Why did you remove John as a friend?"
" I saw them join a dogpile on a post, I try to avoid Cancel Pigs"
