At this point, only ultra-leftists, extremely naive and ignorant liberals, and deranged troons/lolcows support Keffals. Those people just don't have the numbers. I think that creators who are retarded and or crazy enough to support Keffals wouldn't be cynical about it, and would indeed stick their necks out for him (as they believe he's "winning" anyway).
Most people will duck their heads in fear of the cow uprising getting to them, because yes, as you said this is a rabid mob composed of the same subhumans who think that staying silent or neutral on something is the same as supporting it. So all the more incentive for people like Charlie to very willfully ignore the elephant in the room and focus on whatever the fuck else instead.
Mutahar? If you ask me, I think he fucked up big time, at least regarding his own career. I'm glad he's helped expose Keffals, but this really isn't his element.
