Cancel culture is a toxic group of immature and/or narcissistic people looking to online shame, or “cancel” popular icons for minor accusations, later proven to be false. People often find celebrities they don’t like, point out a somewhat offensive thing they said years ago, or often photoshop tweets or DM’s, then assemble a mob to attack said celebrity. Often it is with the sole intent of destroying a celebrity they don’t like’s reputation, or gaining more followers themselves by being known as politically correct, when they are really racists themselves seeking to hate on other, non-racists. (Usually celebrities). Cancel culture can often involve racist accusations, but also sexism, anti-semitism, anti-LGBT, sexual abuse, animal abuse, harassment, or otherwise questionable tweets.
