right, but one could just as well ask: how many of the people who are angry about this, are mostly attracted to the outrage and culture war aspects.
A lot, and yes, that applies to plenty of people in this community and platform.
Some of the habitually offended do, in fact, have some financial stake in what they argue for, but I think we've seen enough examples over the years that they do not represent the aggregate consumer base. Their existence is not meaningful in these types of discussions.
Otherwise media such as Ghostbusters and modern-day comics would be selling like gangbusters instead of severely disappointing or outright standing at a deficit. It probably does draw in some newer audience while hemorrhaging others; the net balance matters.
