Why should we stop calling out asshole behaviour or letting people experience the consequences of their actions?

No one complains when someone they don't like gets into trouble for reasons that are obviously justified. The term "cancel culture" only gets invoked when someone on their side is in trouble for reasons they don't agree with, in order to spin it into a persecution complex. But that's all it is. And even the people who most loudly complain about "cancel culture" are always the first jump to cancel anyone on the opposing side - because they're obviously always in the right, so it's only "cancel culture" when the other side does it.

Even your dictionary link can't clearly define an actual line, because there isn't one.

Cancel culture is just boycotting wrapped in a demonizing term.

Cancel culture only exists because of group peer pressure to scrutinize those who they believe should be censored. To cancel it, is like trying to cancel a protest. They are still going to get around it, somehow and cancel who they can. There is no cancellation of it. It has been around for hundreds of years just with a different term.

But to specifically answer your question: yes it is quite literally hypocritical.

I just call it old fashion ostracism. Its a cultural universal.

Define cancel culture.

Do you mean accountability, either socially or legally? Do you mean people complaining about someone and their behavior on the internet?

'cancel culture' is just a phrase like 'woke' is. No real definition behind it and only real use is to dogwhistle to others saying your 'in the group'.

That's a pretty high skill level social media stunt, I don't think you have the ability for it. There aren't many who do.

Canceling is not a real thing. Next question.
