I suppose now I can be one of these cancel culture martyrs after my experiences with far-right trolls on this board.
Cancel culture or hate isn't about right or left or being a troll or losing a argument. Of all things it isn't funny. Some people are simply lost in their hate. Maybe the best word for this evil is intolerance.

Cancel culture hasn't caused any posters to leave here because cancel culture is just a right wing meme. We've certainly had posters leave because they got tired of losing arguments and because intolerance was shown to their trollish methods of arguing.
If you really believe posters rage-quitting is a result of evil and hate you really have low stakes for how you define those terms.

Evil and hate are what they are. We don't get to redefine words to fit our own worldview. Cancel culture is simply a form of hate and is often but not always linked to skin color or gender or religious beliefs or sexual orientation. When cancel culture seeks to silence people because of their skin color, gender, religious beliefs or sexual orientation it is pure evil.

WP in not a cancel culture or even a woke site. A wide variety of opinions are allowed to be expressed here and censorship in minimal. I have been allowed to be continually critical of “woke” ideologies without hearing from the moderators about it never mind being banned. This is neurodiversity movement positive site yet we have members who are strongly anti ND movement who often post their opinions.
There is a bit of political correctness here in that certain words are not allowed here in any context. Me and others have been allowed to be highly critical of these language rules sans consequence.

Criticism isn't hate and it isn't cancel culture. If your opinions make you seem like a dick people won't want to have anything to do with you and no one can oblige them to continue to give you attention, company, business or affection.
As ASPartOfMe said, himself (and others) are openly critical of the idea and it doesn't lead to any sort of negative consequence as a result. It's an issue that posters debate but the forum has never actually adopted any sort of official policy that one could define as 'influenced by cancel culture'.
Yes, posters have left in the past but it's pure dishonesty to blame those incidents on cancel culture if the term cancel culture is actually intended to mean something. Of course we both already know cancel culture is just a silly meme so you might as well drop the charade and stop pretending.

Merriam-Webster defines “cancel culture” as the practice or tendency of engaging in mass canceling as a way of expressing disapproval and exerting social pressure.
Racism and bigotry are what they are. I can get you definitions of those as well if you need to understand those words better. I am redefining nothing.
So is it a silly meme when attempts are made to cancel people because of their skin color? Like for example when people are told they "ain't black" if they don't vote a certain way?
What about when women are are smeared as uneducated "handmaids" for their religious beliefs and worldviews?
You seem to want to make light of it all.

That's about as fine an example of gaslighting as you could get.

So who's quit because of cancel culture? If it's happened there must be examples. If there are no examples people should stop insisting it's happened.

So basically your proof of cancel culture is that sometimes people who you disagree with are insulting?
With arguments like that you're making my case that cancel culture doesn't actually exist better than I am.
You're right, I am making light of these dishonest claims. They're not credible, they're laughable; they're unintentional satire at its finest.

Well said. Doubling and tripling down on the hate and attacking anyone who calls them out is the norm. So is trying to make hate look like satire or something funny to justify it. It reminds me of the hate of the racist satire of Black minstrel "entertainment" from the late 19th century in the US. Hate is never funny.
