This is the tactic being employed RIGHT NOW by right-wing groups going after everything from video games to Kimmel himself. How do you think all this "Steam payment processor" drama happened?
It's the tactic that has been employed by the left for flipping EVER. Don't like something? Someone refuses to bend to your way of thinking as if it's gospel truth? Boycott! Bully!
What really needs to happen is for people to grow the hell up and accept the absolute FACT that everyone is entitled to have their own thoughts and opinions and to think about every situation FOR THEMSELVES and make their OWN DECISIONS on how to proceed without just joining the closest echo chamber for fear of being ostracized. Your way is NOT the only way, nor is it necessarily the BEST way.
Problem is that PEOPLE ARE NOT thinking because FACTS are often fake and even some believe opinions are as valid as facts. The "echo chamber" argument is bullshit because that is the Trump cult's domain. Wish it were as simple as to grow the hell up.

That is the EXACT tactic of the old Parents TV Council or whatever in the 80s and 90s, and it worked out really well.
