Cancel Culture

The act of shaming a person or entity for actions and beliefs that a group of people find offensive or wrong in an effort to encourage others to withdraw support. The term has been discussed most recently in terms of online shaming due to the power of widespread instant dissemination of information, but has been a part of society in some manner for countless generations in the form of organized boycotting, blacklisting, and banishing.

Some Jimmy John's employees posted a video of themselves using product to make a noise and staged a fake lynching. Today's cancel culture demanded they be fired. It's kind of their fault for posting the video with them in uniform in the store.
