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.

i also like depositioning & decentering
but in the context of specifically « cancelling » i'm more of a deplatforming person myself

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

You think the « depositionning » is a good translation?

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
