Cancel culture can be best described when someone does something that an opposition doesn't like, and the opposition works together to cancel them out on something.

A good example of this would be if someone said something discriminating against a group of people on social media. Then, that group of people protested in some way until the discriminating party's social profile was suspended for violating the platform guidelines. This would be a small form of cancel culture.

A real-life example of it is the #MeToo movement, where celebrities were being sexually used in order to get movie and TV roles. Many of the producers and male celebrities proven to have done wrongdoing against female victims have been fired, not rehired, sued multiple times, and even imprisoned.

But can cancel culture be used wrongfully?

If someone is a Trump supporter for example, would it be right for cancel culture to ruin their life because they support Trump even though freedom of choice in politics is a right?

Where do you draw the line?
 
Personally, I don't have any problems with cancel culture except when it's being pushed purely based on selfish interest of a group of people simple because they have the platform and numbers to ride the narrative. If every cancel culture is objectively being chased, I'll always be 100% in support of it.
