    “Cancel culture” is a catch-all slur. You can tell it’s effective because of how you phrased your post instead of considering who is being “canceled” and the reason for it. Bad guys are trying to catch a free pass by highlighting less serious offenses and calling it the same thing.

      I don’t really see it like that, unless it’s something mainly done on right-wing circles.

      If people don’t want to stay on Twitter or Facebook because of all the stuff their owners are doing, that’s not Cancel Culture, that’s just having a brain. To me, a response to serious offenses is definitely not cancel culture, you can’t “cancel” billionaires.

      If not “cancel culture” though, what would you call what happens to those “less serious” offenders? Just “large-scale harassment”?
