Completely writing a person virtually out of existence. Especially on Twitter.
Mostly based on one or a few mistakes which could potentially even be proven false.
The cancel culture group passes judgement well before facts are out and just want the world to be completely done with a person. Usually happens to big celebrities or even smaller Youtubers.
Sometimes it is warrented however...depending on the severity of the mistake.
Regardless...censoring insulting words is not cancel culture.
"Im afraid to say -blam!- because people may see it as an insult and I'll be shunned on the internet." Your definition.
"Let me take your ability to even say the word because if people see it as insulting they'll come after us and well be shunned on the internet" The same definition executed differently.
There is no difference.
