Just like I can't do massive crowds well, I can't do controversy well. Or at least, I can't do controversy like all these folks on social media expect me to do. But we live in a world where, according especially to social media, we're fools and wimps if we're not outraged by something. A social media search revealed a small gaggle of other boycotts: boycott "The Little Mermaid" (the new, live-action version with the non-white Ariel). "If boycotts are a form of legitimate protest, then social media users seem to have taken that to another level these days," states a synopsis of "Brands and public personalities 'walk on eggshells' as social media boycotts trend" — an economictimes.indiatimes.com story I couldn't read (because I would have had to pay to subscribe, which I consider fair enough, for obvious reasons).
