Cancel Culture, a buzzword that really has no meaning, except give me clicks.

Oh, I thought this was going to be about Dave Chappelle.

Lol my first thought was oddly enough Sacha Baron Cohen. Don’t know why

There's going to be a new TV channel in the UK, a sort of Fox thing. Yay. It's for free speaking, so you know what that means. One thing they are going to fight back against is cancel culture. As part of this drive, there will be certain types of guests that they won't be giving air time to. Question: Is that
A. Hypocrisy.
B. Irony.
C. Stupidity.
D. Standing up for what normal people think.

Sure it has meaning.
But those who engage in it would deny it exists.

"Cancelled" has even showed up here, being used by some members. Obama has criticized it for not being activism, it got Bill Maher uninvited from giving a graduation commencement speech, and people really do say they "cancelled" someone or something they don't like. It even has its own Wiki page.

And I forgot about this letter featured in Harper's, including signers such as Noam Chomsky.

It's cancel culture, of course.

They blame it on the other side. Trump has a long list of what he wants cancelled: Major League Baseball, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, JPMorgan Chase, ViacomCBS, Citigroup, Cisco, UPS and Merck.

Out of curiosity, what’s Trump’s beef with Coca-Cola? Is he a Pepsi man?

Yup, the right just doesn't call what they do Cancel Culture, it's a boycott or shattering keurigs or burning Nikes or whatever.

If someone says or does something stupid, and another organization wants nothing to do with them because of it, it's not cancellation, IMO.

In the Right's world, that's just the "free market" most of the time. Until the "free market" negatively affects something they like, in which case they turn it into a culture war.

I never said that cancel culture didn't have bi-partisan appeal.

It's not necessarily over something stupid. Maher was "cancelled" because he criticizes religion, including Islam (Religilious certainly didn't get the same response when Christianity was the target). It could be a photo from way back whenever, and mistakes of the past are brought up as if they are new.
Really, it's nothing new. It just has new labels. Such as how it is really no different than PC Christians got the show GCB actually canceled (it targeted the holier than thou types with comedy and made them into the hypocritical jokes they are). Or like years ago and some people upset when Phil Anselmo, drunk off of white wine, cracked a "white power" joke. Who cares? The people who made a fuss aren't perfect angels themselves.

He woke up on the wrong side of the bed, saw a can of Coke, and blamed his rotten day on that terrible, crooked, lying Coke.

Coke is against Georgia's law on voting so Trump wants to cancel them.

Whilst I would agree it doesn't have a clearly defined meaning, I think (mostly due to social media) people being impacted by minor mistakes or being taken out of context even is more of a thing now than in the past.
People want to view much of history...including people's personal histories...through the lens of current accepted behaviour. This seems quite problematic to me.

We have some accord on this.

While I am not disagreeing, because that is happening.

It more often then not seems to get thrown around as a buzzword to target opposing sides/viewpoints.
