Yup.

Whenever disagreeable, humorless scolds start squealing about how "everybody must do X" or "everybody must stop doing Y" ... it makes a lot of people want to do the opposite.

Yeah a lot of people have failed to internalize a lot of the meta-lessons of current culture wars

Here's another meta-lesson: "woke" turns out to be broadly popular and is not actually going away.

Yes, many people *genuinely* give a fuck that tech leaders are promoting white supremacy and ethnic cleansing, and there will be actual consequences for this.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend".

If despicable individuals start hating on somebody, reasonable people will have a positive view by default and will be more compelled to try what crazies are trying to ban.

"I don't care what you hate, since I have have seen what you cheer". Quite the opposite: "oh, you hate it, must be good and worthy"

makes cleaning up the trash easiler, obviously.
