[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just FYI, if you use "cancel culture" as though it's a real thing, I am going to know you're not seriously engaged in understanding much of anything.[/quote]

Why do you think this isn’t “cancel culture”?[/quote]

Did someone lose a job that was essential to their survival? Does that person have no hope of getting a similar position that will allow them to continue to function in their chosen field?

Or some someone lazy/sloppy about following developments in their field, or deliberately offensive, and are they receiving consequences as a result?[/quote]

My husband is a professor and he is one of the least offensive people in history.  He actually has nightmares about making a mistake and getting “cancelled.”  It is real.[/quote]

Mine too.  He worried about putting a work on his syllabus because it used the term "Negro" -- the work is an important one that influenced the development of this particular issue and has historical importance.  But it was just too touchy.  [/quote]
