There has been a corporate response since marketing/PR. This isn't a new development that deservers everyone's immediate attention.
Pretty weird stance from someone that has haunted hundreds of customer reps with random bs grievances for decades that corporations are spineless for listening their customers.
Here's a fun revelation for you, cancel culture is a part of how the market works. God forbid customers do something as crazy as vote with their wallet. That's just been going on since the beginning of human history.
It's not entitlement. I'm entitled to nothing regarding corporations I don't have dealings with.
"Spineless" is exactly what the word means. It means a fear of standing up for any principles, and always taking the perceived path of least resistance. Being spineless doesn't necessarily mean being more profitable. As I said, Chik-Fil-A and Goya are examples of corporations which stood for their principles, and gained more right wing business than they lost left wing business, thus a net positive. So it was win-win. It was a risk, but it was win-win.
But again, you can keep moving the goalposts and redefining what I mean by "cancel culture", but that doesn't change the clear and obvious point I'm making.
This is not about the corporate response to cancel culture. It's about cancel culture itself which is now causing corporations to react this way.
Read that 10 times until you understand it.
