An Internet phenomenon in which people shun others from social media. Like ostracism, cancel culture existed to weed problematic social media users out. Either that, or to hold people accountable for their actions. But now, it's devolved into insecure people shunning anyone and anything they despise. Those who partake in this care nothing for making social media better. All they want is to make themselves feel important, and "cancelling" is the easiest way for them to do it.
Dredging people's mistakes up, over and over, isn't how you help people learn and grow. But people involved in cancel culture don't get this, as vilifying people is easier. While it's possible for things here to change, the Internet will never be the "safe space" these people want. It's a place where people from all across the world gather. And, like it or not, some people are monsters at their core. Do those people need to go? Yes, they do.
But cancel culture's so rampant it's more dangerous than the monsters could ever be. We'll soon live in a world where shunning people for the littlest thing will be commonplace. It'd happen all day, every day, all over the world. And, until cancel culture's dealt with now, that's going to be kind of world we'll live in. And that sounds like a very, very cold world to me.

Cancel culture is ruining the world.

The cancerous notion that a person who does something considered objectionable by most people should have their life ruined.
"Because this person on Instagram said that, they should be canceled forever. Yes, I support cancel culture."

1000s of people who use Social Media to single out a one time incident or bad decision by an individual to destroy their life as they know it.
I found that persons Facebook account and they work for the government. We will now overwhelm their bosses with emails and phone calls until they are fired. We will make sure they loose their home, car and & children when we are done with them! Cancel Culture Bitch!!!

A term used to describe a process in which people and or businesses try to shun people from polite society usually by going after someone’s ability to make a living and or in an attempt to remove something such as books, media, and people from public access and or discourse. All in which it’s justification is punishment for wrong think.
“Cancel culture sucks”
“Bro, his book was removed from Amazon for hate speech.”
“What? but that book has no hate in it”
“Bro I know it’s because it goes against the pre approved norm”
“Man, cancel Culture sucks”

Basically the Thought Police, but in real life. In other words, they are bunch of stupid fucking left wing morons on Twitter that will ruin your life and your career just because you don't meet their narratives.
He did nothing wrong, yet he was still victimized by Cancel Culture because didn't like what he said.
