You guys on the right need to remember that the squeaky wheel always gets the grease. The SJW that you guys complain some much about, only get louder because you guys give them your attention. There are other problems in the world besides those that cry the most.
I don't think it's really the right-wing people who are greasing them up, as much as it is the corporations that seem to continuously acquiesce to their demands, no matter how inane or ridiculous.
I believe that it partially has to do with the fact that corporations have set standards on themselves, which include an automatic concession to "customers" if there's a large enough number of criticism being directed at them, and that the so-called SJW crowd have figured out a way to abuse this pattern by forming a hive-minded mob which automatically focuses its outrage at a level which seems overwhelming to these corporations, even if it is only temporary and formed by a group of people who probably don't even buy the products, or affect their sales in any way.
A "social media manager" who suddenly notices thousands of complains on his or her e-mail, is going to make a quick call to "Human Relations" and demand a fast solution the the problem, usually involving the indiscriminate firing of somebody even loosely affiliated with the "controversy". That's just how it works in corporations. There's very little human element involved, and the responses to such "problems" are automated, formal, by the book. It's going to take quite a few years before they wake up, and adapt to the problem.
For now, I would say that there is no sense in trying to sweep this problem under the rug because it's most certainly becoming a very legitimate issue, which is affecting many areas of entertainment and other industries.
Most of all it seems to be affecting the liberal side who are seeing their talk show hosts, journalists, comedians, entertainers, even politicians, dropping like flies. In reality it should be the liberals making noise about this, more so than the right which remains relatively unaffected. The right-wingers, for the most part, seem to be applying a "concede absolutely nothing" mentality to the problem, crystallized by Donald Trump, which seems to be working on their part.
