This reminds me of something somebody said once about the optimal method for dealing with cancellation as a public figure. Which is to basically just avoid drawing attention to it and proceeding as usual. Apparently someone once did that to the AVGN and it ran out of steam pretty quickly because nobody spotted any disturbance, so nobody found out about the cancel group. Maybe I read about it on this site, even. But it especially kicks the cancel mob in the gut because their influence is being denied.
Almost the exact same thing happend with Channel Awesome, the backlash against them fizzled out because apart from their initial statement they just ignored it completely and carried on putting out videos like normal. Of course Change the Channel wasn't helped by the fact that many of it's proponents were or would become massive lolcows but then again so where Channel Awesome. Now they keep ticking along and I'll bet most of their current audience have never heard of Change the Channel or are even aware of the history of the group.
They best way to deal with lunatics screeching about you is just to not even give them the time of day.
