The media landscape is more diverse now. In the past, television stations would regularly censor material in order to avoid getting “cancelled” by the Christian right.[1] Cancel culture is just a new word for an age-old illiberal phenomenon.

- notsureaboutpg 6y agoIdk most of that is reasonable though. Censoring sexually explicit things (for example) is common around the world and all of human society generally agrees that sexually explicit things have a time and place and that time and place isn't publicly available media that children can access. But getting fired because 20 years ago you didn't approve of gay marriage is silly and that's the cancel culture right now.
