You can say that petitions don't work. But guess what? the goal isn't to try to cancel it since that's probably not going to happen. The goal is to show HOW MANY people want it cancelled. When Japanese people made the petition to cancel assassin's creed, they knew it wouldn't be cancelled but they did it anyways just to let the world know how many of them were unhappy with it .

Actually this can apply to any woke shit we want cancelled
