Cancel culture (or call-out culture) is a modern form of ostracism in which someone is thrust out of social or professional circles — either online on social media, in the physical world, or both. –Wikipedia
After four weeks of listening intently to experts across journalism, film culture, comedy and public relations about the limits and liabilities of cancel culture, I have conflicting emotions.
I have a bias here. I don’t like cancel culture, and I fear its consequences. I don’t like mobs, anywhere. I despise groupthink. I worry about the self-anointed arbiters of right and wrong passing judgment via Twitter that has consequences in quiet, cowardly corporate suites.
