> Is being fired from any position an act of cancellation? My own suspicion is that "cancellation" doesn't describe the act itself, so much as the person it happens to. The general trend seems to be that, if it's someone from relatively higher on the social power scale losing a position or status due to poor behavior, it's cancellation. If it's someone from relatively lower on the social power scale, it's just the same old, run-of-the-mill social consequences that have existed since time immemorial.
