cancel culture
noun[ C or U ]
uk /ˈkæn.səl ˌkʌl.tʃər/ us /ˈkæn.səl ˌkʌl.tʃɚ/
a way of behaving in a society or group, especially on social media, in which it is common to completely reject and stop supporting someone because they have said or done something that offends you: 取消文化
The main argument against cancel culture is that it doesn’t enable people who have wronged society the opportunity to apologize and learn from their mistakes.反对取消文化的主要理由是：它没有给那些在社会上犯了错的人机会道歉并让他们从错误中吸取教训。
If you are an Internet user, chances are you have come across the idea that we live in a "cancel culture" or "call out culture".如果你是互联网用户，那你很可能听说过我们生活在“取消文化”或“指控文化”中的说法。
Cancel culture has its place - it helps to call out and remove problematic people from mainstream culture.
Let’s call cancel culture what it really is: it is our way to exert some control over a world that is increasingly becoming more dangerous and less tolerant.
In a cancel culture, we appoint ourselves the arbiters of right and wrong and also the judge and jury, because thanks to social media, we get to dole out punishment.
