I stand by my opinion that it is an overreaction to boycott a company for an error Tweeting. No real harm was done by their statement, and it was removed as soon as it was noticed. A level-headed reaction to an error tweeting would be to make a meme and have a good laugh at them, just like people do when someone jumbles their words in speech.
Instead, we are so politically divided that touching politics even by mistake can result in "cancel culture" taking aim at a company. It used to be only the left who participated in cancel culture. It saddens me that we have to stoop to their tactics to get what we want, politically.
If you had said this was just the icing on the cake, and you were canceling Wal Mart because they import Chinese goods made by slave labor while driving small businesses away, that would be good justification for boycotting them. I would also like to know why it has taken you so long.
Why are you calling me a shill? I am not advocating on behalf of any company. I think you need to calm down.
You don't seem to know what cancel culture is, or you seem to be confused about events surrounding GOYA. Cancel culture is a weapon the left is notorious for using. They boycott companies for petty political reasons. When they tried to "cancel" GOYA, the right stepped up and countered their cancellation by purchasing a lot of GOYA products, often making grocery stores sell out.
I think you’re right. We don’t want to become like them. People can make their choices to boycott or not. We don’t want to not allow people or companies to be able to redeem themselves or make things right.
When legitimate apologies and rectifying measures are taken those should be applauded.
Instead of cancel culture let’s try redemption culture

I dunno, man. We cancelled the fuck out of KMart 25 years ago over Rosie O'Donnell and gun stuff.
Fuck this comment. Cancel culture? What about GOYA you shill?!
