The decision to alter or oppose something, because it doesn't respect the standards of the current culture.
If it is something with a certain relevance in the culture itself, the fear of losing it will then start processes to put it in pair.
An alteration motivated by the fear to lose smt important.
EXAMPLE:
relative to the newest (2023) reprint of ...The chocolate factory - characters are no longer "fat" or "idiots" after changes by the publisher to make Dahl's works more in tune with modern times. The “enormously fat” boy in the book became “enormous”. that's a form cancel culture
EXAMPLE 2:
idiot n1 : change a 1% or 10% won't change it really, right?
idiot n2 : Absolutely. There are no such things as disclaimers that can be used to inform the user about the diverse structure of what was considered acceptable by past standards, but now is not, and by that understand that what we are going to experience is not to take lightly outside this specific context.
idiot n3 : hey that statue has a penis. it could be dangerous for kids to watch! let's remove it!
EXAMPLE 3 :
Obese is the n-word for plus-sized people. (It's not, and that's not a sentence to use lightly)

A popular trend among social media users allowing activists to publicly shame, or "cancel", media influencers for previous inflammatory posts, sexual allegations, and discriminatory behavior. Cancel culture surfaced due to the similar public shaming trend, the #MeToo movement, where women call out sexual predators. As a result of the cancellation, the individual may lose their job, their status on social media, and their reputation. Canceled people are mainly ostracized even to the point of social media users boycotting products or shows related to the individual.
Brock Turner is Cancel Culture's newest player and has lost his reputation after he was accused of raping an intoxicated woman.

Referring to a technical term in the game Super Smash Bros. Melee. The act of cancelling or reducing the knockback (how far you get knockedback) when you get hit by an opponent's attack.
I would've been smashed off the stage if I hadn't crouch cancelled your kick just then.

When someone did something bad, like make a sex tape or say a racist tweet that someone got ahold of, or found out about.
"Hey, did you hear Warner Bros. is being canceled?"
"Yeah, dude! This is just one of many forms of Twitter Canceling!"

A temper tantrum term uttered by right-wingers that are pissed off because they're being held accountable for doing bad things.
Homer: Simon & Schuster won't publish my book! Cancel culture! Freedom of speech be damned!
Barney: No, it's because you're an asshole that said racist things & actions have consequences! Buck up!

You would think the Indians would have Thanksgiving shut down for being a racist holiday, yet they show up at the parade held on land that was taken from them and they don't have the city/county shut the parade down because it traumatizes them to watch it. The country has a fucked up history, but once you start to allow any attempt to shed light on history by talking about all sides of it, (that includes the Confederate side, and the side of the original slaveowners, the founding fathers like George Washington and James Madison) you end up trying to keep people in the dark about it by having everything cancelled that doesn't agree with what you think history should have been like, in a past where everything and everyone was wonderful and decent, and history was never like that because people are human and not inherently good (or bad). People are people, they always have been fucked up.
People nowadays think that somebody owes it to them to cancel everything they don't like, even if somebody else might learn something from it. It's one thing if you want to cover your own kids eyes and ears everywhere they go, it's another thing to tell everybody ese they have to do the same things the same way you do.

Essentially, jumping on the bandwagon and being a mindless sheep while one person is trying to disprove something that someone else has said.
1: Did you hear that X (Celebrity) has called Y out?
2: Nah, it's just lies.
And then, the entire crowd jumps on one of them,
thus, Cancel Culture.
