So what exactly does it mean to be cancelled? According to Kimberly Foster, the term is used to apply to range of actions. "Cancel culture can include everything from people with the most money and privilege in our society getting push back for saying things others found distasteful to regular everyday people losing their jobs for relatively minor infractions." When it was first being used among young people on the internet, cancelling was a way to say, “I'm done with you". But as cancelling became more widely used on social media it has grown into a way to call on others to reject a person or business.
