bolded :I see she is destructive for her own good self because this whole culture has made her believe she is bad or was bad and when good meaning people selfsacrifice themselves for those things and for hatefull people that will never forgive them,i just feel sad about it.

Sec bold: If you and others in here underrstand what it is then i'm happy enough with the meaning it still has,it is indeed broad and the behaviour is shared with almost all different groups of people and it is partly instinctive to humanity but it is always good to try and make others selfaware of that.

Feel free to feel sad. However, justifiable criticism should not be considered cancel culture, but somehow it is. The concept of "regret" should not be considered cancel culture, but somehow it is. Again, this is my issue with the phrase. You can't just stretch it over hundreds of unique cases and then go "Cancel Culture Bad". It is empty language at that point, because "cancel culture" is not bad. "Cancel culture" isn't really much of anything. There are aspects of internet justice which are bad, but there are also a lot of good things stuffed into that box.

Yes ofcourse,i think the same as you say in your comment except for the cancel culture not being bad.

I'm always against mob mentality and surely when it is as cowardly and entitled as this one,when i speak of cancel culture i speak about those that are out to destroy others and i do find it a bit odd that you think that term needs your defense.I'm not stretching it out over all cases and i only comment on what i have seen myself.

Bolded: That is obvious indeed and i never thought otherwise,what you assumed does not even come close of what i was trying to say.
