The gist of this article basically is:
"Activist-minded employees were unable to stop a show from being aired on the platform of their employer and now they cry murder."
Meh. The cancel culture cannot last and this was becoming increasingly obvious lately -- partly due to companies waking up to the obvious fact that a loud minority doesn't represent any majority out there, and partly because some start to understand that being loud and obnoxious about your beliefs only makes the common folk hate you.
There's time and place for activism and its advocates have long ago crossed many acceptable boundaries. Trying to invent a sensational story out of executives saying (once) "sorry but this time we disagree" is only making the activists look bad -- especially if we try and not forget the fact that they are employees and the employers are the power wielders.
If I were them, I'd take my 80-90% success ratio and be happy with it and not cry that it's not 100%.
And finally, the cancel culture is just censorship with a colorful paint job. Whatever happened to USA's love for free speech?
