I can only speak for myself but I can't say I've ever seen anyone talk about someone having been "canceled" unless they objected to the person losing their stature or were making a joke.
- inopinatus 5y agoWell, now you have.
- dijit 5y agoCancelling is what happens to TV shows when they stop airing or being produced. That was the meaning before “cancel culture” and was the intent of the parent. I didn’t at all read it the way you did, maybe I’m older than you and I’ve seen more shows cancelled. (Firefly, for a famous enough example)
- filoleg 5y agoHave you missed the entire #MeToo movement? Because people were cheering themselves on for (justifiably) canceling Harvey Weinstein using that exact same word to refer to the actions taken against him.
