Looking for a better translation of the French concept “dépositionnement” to replace “cancel”.

It’s not about punishment.
It’s about shifting men away from the center, questioning default dominance, and making space for others.

In English, I propose:
“decentering”
"unseating"
???

L'article Mediapart fait suite à 2 mois d'occupation de l'espace par les membres de Zawaprod mis en cause, pour développer un discours qui, sous couvert d'idées de gauche, est en réalité un discours de dominant au service des dominants.

depositing does sound better than cancellation. cancel culture is a result of slow moving systems, ppl wouldn't feel the need to gang up if they weren't forming a consensus that's "not official" 

it's good there's recognition it can be bad, but it's also needed in some cases imo

You think the « depositionning » is a good translation?

I think it sounds more official or formal, certainly sounds more French 😆

yeah 'cancel' is now used like 'woke' by our contenders
i was just not sure of the understanding of 'deposition' in english
in french it's also an invented word
she is the first to use it as I know
so a new word can be fine in english too
but i'd like to be sure it does sounds great

I believe that's probably closest 😅 deposition instead of cancel as a softer touch is a good move imo

cancel culture has become so normalised and it doesn't really help anything 

sticky subject tho
