are there people who still think that being cancelled dont exist? apart from those guys in Av Club

It's not just celebrities

Peeps' difference is arbitrary, but he can have his definition if he wants.

Not being able to get work is part of the ostracism of cancellation though, accusation of a crime or not. IMO

i can see its still a touchy subject.

Im just surprised there are lots of folks denying how cancel culture works, specially after all this years.

who is denying it?

i gave two examples of which i showed what i think to be a just firing and one of being canceled

the way i see it here's difference


jimmy fallon gets fired because charges of murder are brought against him due to a video of him chopping someone up with an axe. that is not getting cancelled that is getting fired


jimmy kimmel gets fired because a band of people on the internet repost some of the skits he did with adam corolla and complain how big of a monster he is and they will boycott nbc until they let him go

To cancel someone (usually a celebrity or other well-known figure) means to stop giving support to that person. The act of canceling could entail boycotting an actor’s movies or no longer reading or promoting a writer’s works. The reason for cancellation can vary, but it usually is due to the person in question having expressed an objectionable opinion, or having conducted themselves in a way that is unacceptable, so that continuing to patronize that person’s work leaves a bitter taste.
