Country Dictionary

A desire to cancel out a person or community from social media platforms.

They will call on their followers to report the social media accounts of the person or group that did the criticising rather than discussing the criticism or showing by evidence where the criticism is incorrect.

“Sadly he was a victim of cancel culture.

One of the most idiotic things to occur on the internet in the past few years. Typically involves teen girls or gays that have no life or social life outside of being on the internet and them using the large amount of time they have to end somebody famous' career with something controversial they did in their past. Typically includes some sort of racist/homophobic/sexist piece of media from a celebrity that tends to be years old and gets found and spread to end someones online career. People partaking in this REALLY need a life outside of being on their phone and know not everybody has to agree with or think the same thing as them. They should also get a reality check with the real world outside the internet.

Cancel Culture is an internet phenomenon that has emerged due to the internet's highly dogmatic hivemind mentality, where the opinions and attitudes of the public are harmonized into one giant unanimous blob. The said blob will spontaneously accuse and reprimand anyone who rubs them the wrong way, regardless of the individual's true intention. Often, these indicted individuals aren't even aware that what they said could be viewed in a different light, it's only the people that make it seem that way.

For example, take someone who asked "can marijuana make someone as intoxicated as alcohol" on Reddit. The guy who asked it was simply bored, but the people of Reddit took offense, ambiguously assumed that they're asking to take advantage of girls, and begin exposing all their previous posts to further prove the hivemind's unfounded belief. This right here is Cancel Culture in a nutshell.

Though it's easy to single out the "social justice warriors", do not be mistaken. In reality, anyone can co-opt a cancel culture as long as they share the same dogmatic and hypersensitive attitudes of the majority. In fact, the victims of cancel culture could be anyone who has disobeyed a rule or a policy of a group/affiliation/institution.

Essentially, the gist of cancel culture is about the public (and the individuals representing the public) either making accusations about something/someone they absolutely know nothing about, or overinflating a minor and irrelevant issue.

Example 1: People bashing PewDiePie for using the n-word and making satirical jokes about Nazism are proponents of cancel culture.

Example 2: Disney firing James Gunn for his 'offensive' tweets can be attributed to cancel culture.

Example 3: Diana was kicked out of a group chat on Kik because she didn't follow one of their group rules. She wanted to re-establish bona fide connections with one of the group members (Mikayla), but she rejected her and rebuked her just because she broke one of the group rules. Mikayla has just co-opted cancel culture as there was no legitimate reason not to befriend her.

Example 4: Jason sought help on r/FamilyAdvice because his abusive father kept beating his mother and threatening her and Jason. He admitted that he finally had enough and stood up for his mother by throwing a saucepan at his father. As a result of cancel culture, the people of Reddit decided on a whim that—despite the wickedness of his abusive father—Jason was the one that deserved all the blame because he hit him with a saucepan. This is because public opinion on Reddit upholds the traditional belief to always honor your parents no matter what. Thus, because of cancel culture, the true severity of Jason's situation was never taken into light, and his post (and other comments supporting him) were unfortunately downvoted to oblivion.

A terrible toxic habit of the internet where misinformed people who only know part of the story attack often innocent people or groups of people over something which they(the cancellers) view as bad, and continue to do so in an attempt to destroy the victim’s career with no regard for the victim’s personal life.

The culture or active community of people who commit the action of "canceling" someone. To ruin someone's life by getting them de-platformed (banned) off of all social media and have them hated by the majority of humanity. You would do that by finding the tiniest imperfection in their history or a mistake they made. For example a tiny shoplifting crime they'd committed in there past or if they were in the wrong crowd 13 years ago.
