I see you've abandoned the definition you originally posted after I pointed out that canceling includes de-platforming and the removal of power.
What are you talking about?
The first definition I posted in this thread literally comes from this website.

The words power and de-platform don't appear on that page at all

You dont cancel people if they retain their job or their power.

I apologize. I googled your quote and it took me to dictionary.com. However, your quote from Webster:
quote:
the mass withdrawal of support from public figures or celebrities who have done things that aren't socially accepted today.
is not dissimilar from the quote from Dictionary.com, no?
quote:
Cancel culture refers to the popular practice of withdrawing support for (canceling) public figures and companies after they have done or said something considered objectionable or offensive.
But as I stated in my previous post that you never responded to, it goes on to say:
quote:
Usually public figures are said to be canceled after it has been discovered that they have done something offensive. It involves calling out the bad behavior, boycotting their work (such as by not watching their movies or listening to their music), and trying to take away their public platform and power. This is often done in a performative way on social media.
To try to say that the bolded part has nothing to do with canceling because your definition failed to elaborate, is disingenuous.
