Call-out culture is a name for a left-wing political control method of the late 2010s and early 2020s. Also known as cancel culture or outrage culture, it is a form of deplatforming. Another name is "ally theater",[1] where the allies are usually defined as persons and groups at the top of the progressive stack who cannot be criticized. This is said to make it an anti-white concept.

The concept is used within SJW converged groups and communities to punish people who are insufficiently progressive, according to the latest doctrines of political correctness. These people may also be punished for expressing right-wing or pro-white opinions.

Call-out culture can involve online outrage, boycotts, social media campaigns, and demands for the perpetrator to be censored and/or fired.[2] Online media companies preemptively ban people with opinions likely to trigger such a response.[3] In response, right-wing activists have called for the formation of media platforms designed to resist call-out culture. Examples of such platforms include Gab, Voat, and Infogalactic.

Examples

Groups at the top of the "victimhood hierarchy" who cannot be criticized under progressive doctrines are said to include transgender individuals, non-Asian minorities and immigrants, urban youths who are considered victimized, and Muslims. Call-out culture generally does not apply when such groups come in conflict with each other.
