What's the minimum level of fame needed to avoid being publicly shamed? I mean, lately I see a lot of artists doing questionable or downright bad/illegal things, and yet they still have a horde of fans defending them tooth and nail. So it makes me wonder, how many fans do you really need to have that level of security? To know you have a fanbase that will always be there no matter what? Maybe 10 fans aren't enough, or even 500... what's the minimum?

English is not my first language, the translator gave me another way to say it. How is it correctly spelled?

You're fine, everyone knows what you mean; it's spelled 'canceled'. Other poster was just being a dick presumably because they find the term to be cringey.

Edit: I have been duly informed that 'canceled' is the American spelling while 'cancelled' is the British spelling, so you're even more correct. :)

Yup

No no you talk fine. I was kidding with you just for using the word. People don't really say cancelled with a straight face in real life, that's all.

That's a good translator, I never even thought you weren't talking in English. Thumbs up
