We almost killed the infection with anti-bullying campaigns, we almost did it, but we didn't finish our round of antibiotics. Now it's back, harder than ever; we call it 'cancel culture' and researchers are still working on the cure.

Cancel culture is only bad because of the mob mentality internet nerds have. There's nothing inherently wrong with not liking someone's actions and deciding not to buy shit from them anymore.

The term "boycott" seems to cover that well. Cancel culture I mean as a term that specifically includes mob mentality.

You see the recent Contrapoints bit?
Perhaps a collab is in order.

Problem is, the new title is stretched in arbitrary ways to encompass anything the "cancel culture" cryer feels like. Just as so many anti-bullyers did. So perhaps the entire approach should be reexamined.

Cancel culture is a very old infection. Been around ever since homosapiens invented religion.
