These are only two examples, and I'd be interested to know the sources the writers used to make these claims... however, if there's any truth to the articles, then it might be worth considering that boycotts don't actually do anything. I mean, this isn't 1895 where if you get a bad rep in the town your ye olde shoppe is in, you're fucked. This is 2019 - the game has changed considerably for a multitude of obvious reasons.
Then again, we have situations like with Papa Johns, where their sales were hurt following controversy.

If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
