Care is not the right word. The political stances don't directly affect the consumer so there's no resistance in getting the product.

Comic book industry is a good example. Comics could fully support Trump or fire all the soys tomorrow and it won't improve anything because nobody buys things based on the politics or even from the quality.

Like the 180 public support backlashes are rare. Consumers will slowly stop buying products until nobody left. With comics quality dipped, politics stopped offering things consumers wanted because of sjw reasons, and they stopped using customer feedback to improve the product. This is why manga succeeds when western comics fail because nothing is really preventing anyone to get a manga they want.

So it's not that they care more like the people who give feedback and complaints are a small minority. Vast majority will just move on and years later not know why they stopped buying X product.

@matrix @kline Yeah, it's a low cost move that is risky not to make. People who don't want you to take a position don't punish you for taking one anyway, as long as you keep it to a few decorations and to social media. At worse they'll think it's stupid and pandering, but they ignore it as long as it doesn't creep into the products. People who do want it absolutely do punish you for failing to do it.
