-'''Call-out culture''' (also referred to as '''[[outrage culture]]''') is a form of [[public humiliation]] or [[shaming]] that aims to hold individuals and groups accountable for actions perceived to be offensive by other individuals or groups, who then call attention to this behavior, usually on [[social media]].<ref name=":0">{{cite thesis |last1=Huffman |first1=Ethan M |title=Call-out culture: how online shaming affects social media participation in young adults |date=2016 |oclc=1012943751 |url=https://search.proquest.com/openview/c82b2ef9569f3c2e886399172e283d53/1 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first1=Dan |last1=Melo |date=February 4, 2019 |title=What's Missing From Call-Out Culture: The Opportunity to Change |url=https://areomagazine.com/2019/02/04/whats-missing-from-call-out-culture-the-opportunity-to-change/ |website=Areo }}</ref>

-'''Cancel culture''' (a variant term) describes a form of [[boycott]] in which someone (usually a celebrity) who has shared a questionable or controversial opinion, or has had  behavior in their past that is perceived to be offensive called out on social media, is "canceled"; they are completely boycotted by many of their former followers or supporters, often leading to massive declines in celebrities' (almost always social media personalities) careers and fanbase.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Sills |first1=Sophie |last2=Pickens |first2=Chelsea |last3=Beach |first3=Karishma |last4=Jones |first4=Lloyd |last5=Calder-Dawe |first5=Octavia |last6=Benton-Greig |first6=Paulette |last7=Gavey |first7=Nicola |title=Rape culture and social media: young critics and a feminist counterpublic |journal=Feminist Media Studies |date=23 March 2016 |volume=16 |issue=6 |pages=935–951 |doi=10.1080/14680777.2015.1137962 }}</ref><ref name="Munro">{{cite journal |last1=Munro |first1=Ealasaid |title=Feminism: A Fourth Wave? |journal=Political Insight |date=23 August 2013 |volume=4 |issue=2 |pages=22–25 |doi=10.1111/2041-9066.12021 }}</ref>
-== Description ==
-[[Michael Bérubé]], a professor of literature at [[Pennsylvania State University]], states, "in social media, what is known as 'callout culture' and 'ally theater' (in which people demonstrate their [[bona fides]] as allies of a vulnerable population) often produces a swell of online outrage that demands that a post or a tweet be taken down or deleted".<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Bérubé |first1=Michael |title=The Way We Review Now |journal=PMLA |date=January 2018 |volume=133 |issue=1 |pages=132–138 |doi=10.1632/pmla.2018.133.1.132 }}</ref>
-[[Lisa Nakamura]], a [[professor]] at the [[University of Michigan]], contemplates call-out culture as an opportunity to educate.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Nakamura|first=Lisa|date=2015-12-15|title=The Unwanted Labour of Social Media: Women of Colour Call Out Culture As Venture Community Management|journal=New Formations|language=en|volume=86|issue=86|pages=106–112|doi=10.3898/NEWF.86.06.2015}}</ref> She described cancel culture as a "cultural boycott", adding that "when you deprive someone of your attention, you're depriving them of a [[livelihood]]."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Bromwich |first1=Jonah Engel |title=Everyone Is Canceled |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/28/style/is-it-canceled.html |work=The New York Times |date=28 June 2018 }}</ref>
-Condemnations of "cancel culture" are often understood to be complaints to delegitimize criticism, especially when consequences result.  The commercial consequences of criticism have also been exaggerated.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Hagi |first1=Sarah |title=Cancel Culture Is Not Real—At Least Not in the Way People Think|url=https://time.com/5735403/cancel-culture-is-not-real/ |work=TIME Magazine |date=21 November 2019 }}</ref> People who experience "canceling" report effects on their personal lives.<ref>{{Cite news|last=McDermott|first=John|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/02/style/what-is-cancel-culture.html|title=Those People We Tried to Cancel?

-Call-out culture and canceling can also affect teens who use social media by reducing their social media participation.<ref name=":0" />
-A modern example of this call-out culture is that of an incident involving Logan Paul, one of the most famous YouTubers with millions of subscribers. He posted a vlog on the site on December 31, 2017, showing the dead body of a man who had committed suicide in the Aokigahara forest in Japan. This location had been the place for many suicides in the past. YouTube had a delayed response to the insensitive material, prompting many viewers to be angered by Paul's post. Paul eventually took down the video himself before YouTube could, but the anger expressed by many on social media and YouTube pressured YouTube into reducing future profits from advertisements Paul could garner.
