There is a difference in voicing ones personal opinions… when you attach it to a business, you are using a platform that more than likely, has employees and customers who’s views differ. But who am I to try to stop a CEO from cutting their own throat. In fact, here’s a knife. I assume they don’t carry them ? Never been in one.
Oh definitely. Businesses have a lot of stakeholders as you mentioned, like employees, the public, customers, investors, fans if you’re in entertainment or sports, etc. You can always say/do nothing, but certain segments of society are expecting more out of businesses in regards to public or hot-button issues. I’m fine with businesses just remaining neutral and sticking to what they do, but that’s just me, and it’s a decision they’ve got to make.
My point was more along the line of the outrage shown here. Businesses, celebrities, athletes, etc. voice or share their views all over the place, all the time, across all political spectrums. And the majority of people on here only express outrage when those views don’t align with theirs. And that’s where my point comes from: The people aren’t upset (as they claim) that someone or something expressed their views or took a stance, they’re upset because that stance or view is different than theirs. And if someone else does it, they’ll look down their noses and label it “cancel culture.”
