> Then just say they were fucking fired.

They were fired because they were cancelled. What about that are you not getting?

>Roseanne was FIRED from her job for being a racist, she wasn't canceled.

She was fired because she got the outraged mob after her.

So we just created the term canceled so people can blame others for the repercussions of their actions. Got it.

"ITS NOT MY FAULT THE CUSTOMERS DONT LIKE TO BE CALLED CUNTS. FUCKING SNOWFLAKES GETTING ME CANCELED."

No, we created it as a term for when a witch hunting mob arises and does whatever they can to ruin someone's career/life because they said something you didn't agree with.

You're being very disingenuous. Calling customers cunts to their faces is a fire-able offense. Telling a joke to your own circle on your own private time is not. Unless frothing lunatics catches wind of it.

Funny. When religious groups used to successfully boycott things they found sacrilegious or amoral, I don’t remember the word cancelled ever being used.

Same thing with The Red Scare. That’s how a country that supposedly has separation of church and state has “In God we trust” as our official national motto.
