Cancel Culture

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, Cancel Culture has been mentioned in one podcast episode on CTMU Radio (Oct 2024).

Cancel culture, also called call-out culture, is a cultural and political term that describes the phenomenon in which people criticize an individual they believe to have acted or spoken in an unacceptable manner, and publicly call for the target to be ostracized, boycotted, shunned or fired. This shunning may extend to social or professional circles‍— whether on social media or in person‍— with most high-profile incidents involving those with influence in media or politics.
