I'm not talking about boycotts in general, like say the Montgomery Bus Boycott, because we know those can work. I'm talking about "Company that sells product made me mad" boycotts.
Whether it's past ones like the infamous Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2/Left 4 Dead 2 boycotts, or more recently like the brewing chud Pride Month boycotts (And if we're being brutally honest here on the flipside: The all-but-in-name boycott of that Harry Potter game a month or 2 ago), all of them seem to universally fail spectacularly and not impede their targets in any way.
Hogwarts legacy sold 15 million copies, massively over performing it's target numbers. It's probably the most successful game, single player certainly, that warner bros has ever made. Lol.
And this is the problem with outrage boycotts. Warner Bros doesn't care about transphobia criticism anymore than Disney cares about woke criticism. Engagement is engagement. All they really care about his capturing media space to boost sales.
