No, it's not enough said. I am not outraged by his audacity to question the value of such an obvious moral good. I have a brain for a reason, I think, and that is to use it. Is there a down side to moral signaling, and in particular by commercial interests that want to cuddle up to the prevaliling moral winds to make a buck. Is there absolutely no room in the universe to suspect their motives or question their moral sincerity?
Are you so so morally blind that you have become a chump. You remind me of a Republican. I am sorry that if I share your values, I do not share your moral certainty or your willingness to assume reluctance on the part of others is because they are morally contemptable. I find it a moral imperative that I don't become so sure of my own moral virtue that I become the same fanatic I resent when I see it in others. I have enough contempt for bullies and assholes that I don't want to become even more of one myself.
I have absolutely no problem with a company that has made billions promoting a cartoonish brand of masculinity standing up and promoting an end to toxic masculinity at the cost of millions of customers being offended by it.
No problem at all. I am not so cynical and inflexible in my thinking that just because I do not give complete trust to corporations, I do not believe they can ever do the right thing.
And in this and Nike's case, they have done the right thing at what will probably be great cost to their bottom lines.
The opposite of blind faith is blind cynicism.
In the middle is reality.
