holy shit that tranny might do the impossible: he might get me to side with Polissa AND care about Harry Potter. All with two minutes of footage.
Seriously though, I think culture warriors of all persuasions vastly overestimate how effective screeching for boycotts are. Ignoring the people who buy shit just to spite the offended, people will very rarely deprive themselves of something they want. Pro gay activists couldn't dent chick-fil-a's profit margin, not because everyone who eats there is a christian extremist, but because the average progressive wouldn't subject themselves to their second favourite kind of chicken sandwich to support gay rights. Same with boycotting Aunt Jemima or Nike, or anything else the right has gotten into a tizzy about.
The AGP with vampire fangs and the baritone voice might tell himself he's better than the christians who burned Harry Potter, but their objectives are the same: suppress the spread of a story you deem morally harmful, attack and other people who do support it, claim the moral high ground because you're protecting at risk groups of people.
