NA stands for new adult, so sort of between YA and adult

How do people reply to other people in italics? Also how do you do that thing where you reply and it’s in “” and it says like (insert name here) wrote: (insert message here) I see it all the time but I have no idea how to, so I just use @ (do people actually type it out?)
on the website, there's a reply buttonit's not there on the app though, which is unfortunate

I still don't understand what cancel culture exactly isCan someone explain it to me?
Hm, that's a bit more complicated, since people don't EXACTLY agree what it means. But to put it as simply as possible...To "cancel" means that people online (especially on Twitter) gang up on a person/user for saying or doing something they consider problematic. Cancelling usually involves telling everyone that this person did something bad, asking that person to justify themselves, and digging up other things deemed problematic from that person's past. This can range from very serious and bad misdeeds to being accused of something because of an out of context quote, video or tweet. It often involves hundreds (literal hundreds, possibly thousands) of people ganging up on one person, and aggressing anyone defending that person. This goes as far as death threats, doxxing (publishing personal information of someone without their consent) and taking action to ensure that someone may lose their job or their product gets less sales.
"Cancel culture" is usually used to describe the mindset that leads to, at least from the perspective of the person saying it, unjustified cancelling - the mindset that some people actually WANT to cancel someone or think cancelling is important and correct, and therefore jump at the opportunity to do it.
Where "justified outrage" ends and "cancel culture" starts is of course a matter of personal opinions. When someone gets called out broadly on Twitter for something they say, some people may consider it justified ("What they said was not okay, and they need to apologise!") and some will find the outrage too much and consider it cancel culture. The only thing you can really do is check reliable sources and come to your own conclusions. Or, like me, not having a Twitter account.
