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.

A person who gets hostile and vengeful to any and every little thing a celebrity does and says. A very sensitive person who goes overboard to "Cancel" a celebrity.
Kevin Hart didn't get to host the Oscars because of the all the Cancel Karens.

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!"

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.

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.
