    I’ll have more sympathy if they publicly make statements condemning the genocide that their country is committing. Until then, sucks to suck. They are not the victims here.

    The optics of ‘we shame all associated to things we dislike’

    “Dislike” is way underselling this. I “dislike” pineapple on pizza. This is something rather different.

      I know I haven’t. And the few times I’ve checked, it has always been more of an edge case than expected.
