When people refer to cancel culture, they are referring to the ability to go back into someone's past, find all of the comments they've ever made or things they've done, and then ruin their career as a public figure.

Some times it's definitely warranted, and can result in positive change in the individual they are targeting. Other times, like for example with James Gunn, it's just a witch hunt.
