Cancel Culture Origin

R. Kelly after he peed on dem girls.

Probably something during the MeToo movement like Harvey Winstein in 2017.

I'm too young to remember but didn't Dee Snider testify in the senate because pearl clutching right wingers (whoops, nvm, it was tipper gore) were trying to cancel rock music? There was also McCarthyism back in the day where anybody even suspected of being communist could be cancelled. Hell, the Greeks would banish or ostracize people if they were the most hated. It's been going on for a long time.

Cecil the lion was killed in 2015.

Any modern cancellations prior to that?

You could go all the way back to Tipper Gore and the PMRC going after rock, pop, and metal acts for "offensive" lyrical content.

Why does this always get twisted into some right wing thing? It was the wives of democrat congressmen that were behind this crusade.

Yes, except his opposition was led by Tipper Gore.

Many different reasons, I'm sure. The white democrat agenda that blames everything on southerners and conservatives is one. Their goal is to keep black people in poverty and dependent on their vote. Their wokeness is mostly if not all fake and in reality, they are the biggest detriment to the black community. Until you get rid of white democrats, blacks will never overall be successful.

Conservatives like to blame liberals but the 1st example I can think of were The Dixie Chicks in the early 2000's

You're not even old enough to remember cancelling heavy metal and d&d in the 80s?

Boycotting a band isn’t cancel culture.

Its at least the beginning of the "Cancel" movement.
