Then the hashtags #canceldrafter and #drafterisoverparty would circulate heavily within my circle of friends on IG, Twitter, etc, and one by one he would be blocked by everyone he knew across all platforms... He can't even watch our YouTube videos anymore... And if any of us catches any of you not tweeting, your party is next, the Ghanaian pallbearers come for you...

I have heard of "cancel culture", I've seen the hashtags, but I have never heard of people "cancelling" their own friend group.

You're old af... You heard of cancel culture for the first time when you just read about it in my post...

The only time you use the word hashtag is when you accidentally order them from the waitress at the dennys...

I know, someone like you who grew up in the era where the colorization of television was considered controversial will have a difficult time understanding what it is to be cancelled, but just imagine it's very similar to what happens to a dog when you adopt him; food doesn't taste as good, the tail doesn't wag as much, and 99% of life is in the rear view, not the windshield...

It's kinda their business and they kinda have a right to run it as they see fit (within existing laws). If they establish a dress code, you kinda have to abide by it. If it includes no political statements, then that's the rule. If you don't agree with it, then you don't work there. If they get backlash as a result of their dress code they either live with the consequences or change it depending on how they want to run their business.

It's really pretty simple.

Many things with the word black and the color black can be considered and have been considered racist and derogatory. Blackmail, blackball, etc.
