Cancel在这里是什么意思？
本帖最后由 cocowind 于 2019-8-29 00:10 编辑最近美国有个喜剧明星Dave Chappelle在他的节目里拿identity politics、LGBTQ等political correctness话题开涮，引起白左们的不满：Critics call to cancel him.
cancel应该是抵制之类的意思，但查英语字典却没有发现直接相关的义项？哪个字典有呢？ 这里的 cancel 是新义，类似于国内网友通过"取关"来公开抵制、使对方凉透的操作。近几年流行的 cancel culture，就是指某明星在发表了什么争议性的言论之后粉丝纷纷取关/转黑、大众强烈抵制的现象。
https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/cancel
4 to stop following or supporting someone, especially a celebrity, because you dislike or disapprove of them or their views
https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/cancel-culture
the practice of no longer supporting people, especially celebrities, or products that are regarded as unacceptable or problematic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call-out_culture
Call-out culture (also known as outrage culture) is a form of public shaming that aims to hold individuals and groups accountable by calling attention to behavior that is perceived to be problematic, usually on social media. A variant of the term, cancel culture, describes a form of boycott in which someone (usually a celebrity) who has shared a questionable or unpopular opinion, or has had behavior that is perceived to be problematic called out on social media is "canceled": they are completely boycotted by many fans, often leading to massive declines in celebrities' (almost always social media personalities) careers and fanbase.
大致等于boycott
顺便提醒楼主一句，看新闻学英语的时候不要把中式思维带进来了，「白左」没有英语对应词

英语喂鸡百科只好用拼音Baizuo，因为该词、该现象实际上是中国人意淫、发明出来的
cancel拼错了。这个人在电视台里开了节目，所以是有合同的。要cancel取消废除的是他的合同，不让他的节目继续播放 trivialstuff 发表于 2019-8-28 22:02
