I think its always been a high risk strategy but if you have enough popularity / power to survive the attempted censorship/ cancellation you are golden. A modern version would surely be J.K Rowling.
State loudly and publicly that trans-women are men. Real world mothers, who buy most children's books, would find this uncontroversial to the point of being obvious but the resulting publicity from the outrage and attempted cancelling has at least in part driven her to have multiple books on the Amazon bestseller lists for YEARS at time.
- graemep 2y agoI have not looked at the numbers, but did her sales increase after the controversy?
- klyrs 2y agoWhere is JK Rowling subject to censorship? Around the time her first movie was put out, I recall pastors railing against the "Satanism" in her books, but that's an exercise of speech. Since then, religious folk see her as more of an uneasy ally, as LGBT folk are now critical of her, another exercise of speech. What censorship do you refer to?
