 @3d4d0632  She’s crossing a picket line, her show is a struck show. That’s why she’s being called a scab.

Yes that is the opinion of the strikers it seems. My opinion is that she is perfectly ok with what she did morally and the strikers are wrong to take issue with it. To each their own, we dont have to agree.  Cancel culture is just a silly way of saying consequences. It’s not a real thing, people just want to pretend there’s a new wave of mob mentality punishing people, and it’s just sometimes people get a backlash for their actions. It’s not new, it’s consequences.

No you are thinking of the word Boycott. Cancel Culture is not simply any act of boycotting… It is when frivilous boycotts are central to the current culture. This is distinctly different from all acts of canceling someone (the word “Culture” in “Cancel Culture” isnt just there for show).
