5. Cancel culture definition from wikipedia:
Cancel culture is a modern form of ostracism in which someone is thrust out of social or professional circles - either online on social media, in the real world, or both. Those who are subject to this ostracism are said to be "canceled." Merriam-Webster notes that to cancel, as used in this context, means "to stop giving support to that person" while Dictionary .com, in its pop-culture dictionary, defines cancel culture as "withdrawing support for (canceling) public figures and companies after they have done or said something considered objectionable or offensive." The expression "cancel culture" has mostly negative connotations and is commonly used in debates on free speech and censorship.
For those at the receiving end of cancel culture, the consequence can lead to loss of reputation and income that can be hard to recover from.
