According to you: One state can cancel a company because they agreed to that via a contract. Soooo not cancel culture. But, one (publishing) company can't decide to cancel its own product without you calling it cancel culture. One day, you'll eventually learn to separate your personal biases from logical thinking.
Were the books breaking some sort of business contractual relationship by not performing? Learn the difference.
The company itself decided, for itself, to no longer publish. The company can't enter into a contract with itself. So you seem to be saying, that once a company does something, it can never change it's business, or it becomes a victim of the mystical 'cancel culture?' Coca Cola stopped putting cocaine in it's soda, 'cancel culture' because the original formula broke no contract. Coca Cola came out with New Coke, 'cancel culture' because the original formula broke no contract. Again, you'll continue to sound silly, until you learn to separate your bias, from your logic. You can't force logic to fit your bias, if your bias is illogical.
Yes... it is The Onion. But when The Onion is creating articles like this, it is a sign that Cancel Culture has gone too far. Lorde Slammed And Condemned Because It Seems Like It’s About Time For That To Start https://www.theonion.com/lorde-slammed-and-condemned-because-it-seems-like-it-s-1847175966 NEW YORK—In a blistering condemnation of the 24-year-old multiplatinum recording artist, a coalition of music critics and pop culture writers held a press conference Monday to excoriate Lorde, explaining that they just felt it was time for them to begin laying into her as hard as they could. “Lorde has gone almost a decade without anyone calling her a disgrace, writing a think piece on her toxicity, or launching a social media campaign to tear her down, so she really is due for all that to start happening,” said music blogger Brian Sullivan, who remarked that ripping apart the New Zealand–born Grammy winner made perfect sense considering how long she had remained a public figure without ever becoming the focus of an intense, overwhelming backlash. “You know how these cycles work: It started with ecstatic praise for Pure Heroine, and that matured into reverence for Melodrama, and now we’ve hit the point where Lorde gets called out for something or other—it doesn’t matter what—and then we savagely rip her apart and leave her career in such tatters that no one ever listens to her again. For Christ’s sake, it’s 2021. There should be thousands of people on Twitter and Instagram right now calling Lorde a monster.” Sullivan added that if this effort failed, then at the very least the media must start trying to bait the singer-songwriter into petty feuds with her pop-star peers.
