Political correctness, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. For all the right likes to bitch about cancel culture, they are always the ones who go: "you just lost a fan/customer!"
- ryathal 6y agoThere is a significant difference between a person deciding to not buy a product or listen to a show than an outrage mob trying to get amazon to not sell a product at all or a network to cancel a show.
- aklemm 6y agoRight, one is ineffectual and the other is a successful boycott. I’m surprised to learn in this thread and a previous one on cancel culture that the anti-pc crowd really doesn’t have a leg to stand on. These complaints are meaningless.

- schwartzworld 6y agojust to clarify: you're saying it's ok to vote with your wallet, but not good to try and get other people to do the same?
- htk 6y agoTo let your opinion known? Sure! To force other people to think like you? No!
- jakkyboi 6y agoWho's being forced to do anything by people not patronizing a business?
- schwartzworld 6y agoCan you name one example of someone being forced to think like someone else using these tactics?
