    I think 'cancel culture' is a bull**** term used by people uncomfortable with change, long needed change.
    Each incident is taken on a case by case basis. You can't say 'we should stop doing X, because cancel culture'.
    Using 'cancel culture' is like SJW or snowflake. It's ignorant and dismisses a conversation before it's started.
    'Cancel culture' isn't a movement. The dam broke so we are seeing a lot of criticism on things and people. It's a lot because a lot of **** has been bubbling for generations.

    So "change" is good? Before someone else says what about the Nazis coming to power in Germany (I will :) ).

    Being accused of a transgression and being fired without sufficient or an opportunity to apologize or explain is a common enough theme in "cancel culture". But this just doesn't apply to famous "privileged" media personalities, also ordinary people like the truck driver Emmanuel Cafferty - falsely accused of making a "white power" symbol.

    You are over simplifying everything here.
    Change is only good if a bad thing is being dispensed with.

    I think you are talking about unfair dismissal. You can sue over that.

    So cancel culture isn't about celebrities at all?

    Who is supporting anyone being falsely accused of a crime?
