And while it's your right to disagree with her definition, her definition is the most comprehensive and agreed on definition.

See, this is the part that requires citation. And you can't just post her as her only citation lol

The guy had both co-workers and fans who complained about his behavior.

There was actual evidence of people who hated him for no reason coming up with reasons to actively cancel him, who produced the initial and most extreme accusations against the guy.

The literally edited fan photos to make some look worse than they were...

There was deep diving by the fans in some of the photos used against him, with them finding the source of the photo and the said person saying the photo was edited and they were happy to take a photo with him...and they could find the original to prove there were people posting slander photos of him.

The whole thing was extremely shady, and I'm talking about it being really clear some people wanted to explicitly character assassinate him.

He was fired and then attempted to sue the company and his co-workers.

He lost mostly because it's almost impossible to sue an at will employer for cutting ties with you for almost any reason.

An immense amount of stuff leading up to his cancellation was extremely shady, including a lot of his co-workers being massive hypocrites and acting like they loved Vic literally all up until the minute they decided to throw him under the bus.

You should not be sending social media correspondences implying you like and think someone is a good person up until the literal minute you "out them as a scumbag" without it looking sketch AF,cespecially with all the other shady stuff surrounding the case.

In the meantime both him and his crony lawyers are fleecing his fans for money to pay for his legal fees. Something that continues to this day including Vic taking Church donations. Despite being born to a wealthy family and bragging that he makes thousands on a weekend signing autographs.

So was he cancelled or not cancelled? Based on my definition he was, it sounds to me like anyone still liking him or giving him money is still too much.

he still sounds like a fucking creep.

Yeah, he can't really control how he sounds... Nice descrimination though.

And this is the sort of guy you want back? lol

Sure, why not. Guy is still getting paid anyways, this time to do no work and the guy was cancelled for frivolous reasons that were not backed remotely. Him not being able to successfully sue Viz proves nothing, it is monsterously difficult to sue an at will employer for firing you for almost any reason.

Welcome to capitalism mf, where cancel culture is really just corporations flexing about how easily they can fire you, many without even an HR investigation really, which is not required by law and is kinda just if the corp feels like it.

Sure

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancel_culture

Take as many citations as you want. Oh and please do note the following in particular:

The concept of cancel culture has been criticized on the grounds that people claiming to have been "cancelled" often remain in power and continue their careers as before.

Sure

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancel_culture

I consider wiki a good source only if wiki cites it's sources well.

This particular article, does not.

They have literally no citation for the main definition, and even the second part where they call ostracization they took from a Washington Post article that doesn't deep dive into any definitions and very loosely talks on what true cancelling is.

And Washington Post isn't official enough of a source imo either tbh.

No adult gives a flying fuck about social media ostracization or the other dumb shit they are trying to deflect from the real problem.

The major complaint about cancel culture is being able to casually shit can people and destroy their livelihood over stuff that is determined by the court of public opinion, sometimes with very little evidence the court of public even hates them that much or evidence of their wrongdoings.

This is the part the naysayers completely focus on. I guess you could say cancelling someone from other stuff is part of it, but it is not the part anyone actually cares about or has contention with.

I feel like the only celebrities I can think of that were truly "cancelled" were Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein. And, uh, I think they deserved it tbh.

I am aware of the claims, and they were unsubstantiated. A majority of the accusations were they got an unsolicited "hug" from the guy and didn't like it. You should be free to tell someone you don't want a hug of course, but this isn't something you should try to weaponize and get them fired over and imply predatory behavior over...it's a fucking hug. People hug each other without any sexual intentions literally all the damn time.

I brought up 23 because apparently Vic is dating a 23 yr old. Implying you like 23 yr olds isn't evidence you like underage girls. Hell, according to Tinder literally everyone and their dog age 18-60 wants to fuck 21-24 yr olds, men are just too ashamed or chicken shit to admit it.

He aint really back. Someone once told me(non internet) that they think he should be dead yet couldnt summarize his crimes. He got bagged up with Harvey Weinstein

It makes you glad you don't have a hard left girlfriend

You know, the so-called "Disney Revival" of recent years only lasted as long as John Lasseter was running the ship as everything started sucking again after he was cancelled.
