Things We Saw Today: These Memes are Getting Us All Canceled

There’s a new Twitter meme in town and, for the most part, like so many memes, it is both hilarious and annoying. I’m talking about the “we’re canceling each other over whatever things” meme that seems to have taken over Twitter.

They can be very unique. Like…

And some are trying to be a bit strategic in their cancelations. Like by trying to get information out of those canceling themselves.

I feel like some are using this meme to get information on people and judge them accordingly as well. Like hearing their “cancellable” takes on Chicago.

And Marvel.

But then, of course, there are plenty of people who just want this to end.

Anyway, today, we’re all free.

So the lesson we all learned here is that we don’t want to be canceled but we will cancel ourselves for some of our opinions and honestly? That’s okay.
