Yes, but that's not really the relevant thing.
People get "cancelled" when a large enough group of people think someone has done something wrong.
It just happens to be the case here that the group is very large, but it's fundamentally no different to other cases where people have been "cancelled".
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoMost people I've talked to who are concerned about "cancel culture" are concerned about the dynamic where even a small group of people can get someone fired by being very loud about it. (I do agree with your implicit statement that it's not a very helpful term to use, though - at this point it's been too thoroughly repurposed for weird political battles.)
