Gillette may not be getting castigated anymore, but many people, myself included, are boycotting them for life. Gillette never apologized, but they did release a pretty macho commercial after their failed anti-male nonsense. They also quietly deleted the anti-male one a few months ago. It seems it did affect their bottom line after all.
Gillette is the only boycott I've actually been able to participate in because usually I'm not buying these shitty products in the first place. What am I supposed to do though, write an occasional scathing post on social media about them? No thanks. I'll just continue to never buy anything from them ever again. And I guarantee there are plenty more like me.
They are waiting for it to blow over. I guarantee the right will forget. Look at gillette that isn't being castigated any more.
This is why the left wins. Mental illness is forever, but righteous anger must be fed.

Yeah fuck Gillette. Gone but not forgotten.

Like giving things up on Lent that I never partake in anyway, I find myself "boycotting" things quite often.
If righteous anger takes on the form of contempt, which is a feeling of moral superiority, the impact will last a lot longer.
