When a famous person is accused of racism or sexual assault people start to boycott him those who defend that kind of person will call it cancel culture to denounce it instead of denouncing this kind of behavior or the rape culture and racism systemic.
why you blame the cancel culture instead of his actions ?
That was a long time ago !
He is still a racist and a rapist also he never go in jail and still rich why you defending and supporting someone like that . You believe in cancel culture but you will denies the rape culture you dont deserve any respect for defending a rapist . In 98% of case the rapist will never go in jail .

A nonsensical term mainly used by comedians who are worried that their material has become stale and are at the tale end of their carriers.

It's just another word for "call out culture".
When a famous person says something controversial they will receive a massive amount of criticism. That will be seen as a direct attack and the famous person will never own to their mistake and just cry they're being cancelled.
Most of the time no one is really cancelled for real.
Sometimes someone will be investigated and might lose movie deals because productions don't want bad press. That has always happened and has never been cancel culture.
Ironically, the people who cry cancel culture will gain popularity, so in a sense it has become a way of skirting responsibilities and deflect the attention from the actual horrible things they said.

Jenny: Did you hear they cancelled JKR??? Those awful gays
Kim: You mean J K Rowling? The one who made history writing HP? That's the best example of a victim of cancel culture you could think of?

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.

Calling out an individual or a group publicly for offensive behavior in order to hold them accountable for their actions and force them to face consequences. This is mostly done on social media and is frequently mistaken as cyberbullying.
This phenomenon is quite controversial, with some seeing it as harmful and others seeing it as beneficial. And I'm on the former.
Although this tool gives everyone the ability to express themselves and empowers marginalized communities that have long been ignored. And, of course, to hold the "powerful" accountable.
It is by no means an excellent tool. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, can use this tool. Both the good and the bad. but mostly bad.
It's the equivalent of arming everyone, including children and teenagers (both literally and mentally) with firearms. However, unlike firearms, where police continue to hold people accountable for using their tools. People are free(alt account) to attack anyone who offends them even slightly.
And it doesn't have to be objectively offensive to the majority of people. So long as a small 'marginalized' group agrees with your sensitive heart. The cancellation process could then begin immediately.
Cancel culture is a powerful double-edged sword that we are providing to everyone. Meaning that the dumb people will use it frequently because it is powerful, whereas smart people will use it sparingly, i.e. rarely.
Remember, there are more adults with a child mentality than a child with an adult mentality.

1st conversation:
Person A: I can't believe they canceled that celebrity for something they said 10 years ago.
Person B: Well, they have to be accountable for their actions, even if it was in the past.
Person A: But shouldn't we forgive and move on?
Person B: Forgiveness is important, but we also have to hold people accountable and create a culture where harmful behavior is not tolerated.
2nd conversation:
Person A: Did you hear about that person who got canceled on social media?
Person B: Yeah, I'm really getting tired of cancel culture. It's like people are just looking for any reason to be outraged.
Person A: I know, right? It's like we're not even allowed to have differing opinions anymore.
Person B: Exactly. It's creating a toxic environment where people are afraid to speak their minds.

When famous people or companies do or say something horrible and people stop supporting them. Conservatives pretend this is a form of censorship and supression of opposing views. Really it's just our culture deciding how we want to be.
Johnny tweeted some anti-gay shit and got banned. Now he's whining about cancel culture on parlor like a homophobic bigot.
