What does cancellation mean to you aside from not associating with a person?

Mostly "not associating" and also "foisting social pressure on your peers to also not associate" I guess my biggest issue with cancelling is the whole "policing who other people pal around with" aspect. Every individual has the right to engage or disengage with whoever they want.

and the rest of individuals has the right to disassociate accordingly including in a coordinated manner

The "coordinated manner" is where I get hung up on. That's the intellectually lazy bit. I want that shit to stop. That's how Gunn got trashed, because nobody bothered to actually look into it, and if you disagreed with the cancellation, "UR DEFENDING A PEDO".

so we can act as individuals, but we cannot talk about it ever because that may lead to collective action which is evil, sure, that's a perfectly realistic thing to want people to do lol

You can talk about it all day, dude. But linking an innocuous symbol used properly in 99.9% of cases to evil, and then deliberately spreading that throughout your peer group is a dumb plan that harms whitesoups 0% and innocent people >0%.

what makes a symbol innocuous is precisely its use (just like there was a time when a roman salute didn't mean fascism), if enough fascists use it as their symbol, that's what it effectively becomes and it is pure laziness to think you can just go on pretending they don't do that

And "enough fascists" is confirmable at this time as... What, 6? 10 maybe? Among probably BILLIONS of humans who use it commonly? The roman salute has a WAY more balanced ratio, and it STILL gets innocent people in trouble in often hilarious misunderstandings.

Like, real question... How do people hail cabs in germany? Does anybody here know? Because I could literally be photographed accidentally doing the roman salute a few times a week.

thinking that people get canceled for hailing cabs is some next level concern trolling, gotta hand it to u but i promise, all flashed ok signs will be evaluated with due diligence

so relieved to know that cancellation will remain a tool in the hands of wise freelance philosopher kings who will only ever use it with careful consideration and judgment

look i'm as sorry as the next guy that our problems don't go away if we just stop thinking about them, and that thinking about them is hard and risky and without alternative, and that we are weak spirits bound to weak flesh making each other miserable, and so on
