The term " cancel culture" has become more and more popular over the past few years. Cancel culture is used to describe the idea of removing someone from a certain group or no longer supporting that person publicly because they did something offensive. When this happens, that person is "canceled. " This often happens on social media but can also occur in real life. The idea of canceling someone is nothing new. A 1981 song described breaking up with someone as canceling their love.
「取消文化」一詞在過去幾年已經變得越來越有名。取消文化是用來描述因為某人做了些冒犯性的事情，故將該人從一個特定群體中排除掉，或是不再公開支持那個人的概念。當此現象發生時，那個人就被「取消」了。此現象通常發生在社群媒體上，但也會發生於現實生活中。取消某個人的概念並非新鮮事。一首 1981 年的歌曲描述與某人分手就是取消他們的愛情。
