#2If you don't like the company's decisions, you should stop working for the company - easy enough.
I feel like the social justice brigade needs to seriously lighten up - maybe don't watch content that sets you off so easily?
Just like everyone has had to do since.. the invention of television and other broadcast media?

That's exactly the threat here, but with an opportunity for the company to alter its decision making if it wants the labor.

Well I certainly hope Netflix doesn't capitulate - maybe they can play up the controversy in the most sigma fashion possible and sign Dave Chappelle for another 10 specials to "respond" to the controversy.

What would you say if Netflix called their bluff and just fired all the people that walked out?
This reminds me more of the student protests we used to see, where they wanted to walk out of classes or miss exams but also wanted special treatment so they didn't fail the class.
I've got no problem with not working at a place whose values you dont agree with, but I see this kind of action (and similar things at other tech companies) more as expecting your employer to pay you to undermine them. I could be wrong.

Did you seriously unironically advocate for being a 'sigma male'?

It arguably makes sense for it to be made abundantly clear what caused a mass exodus vs. a pile of disorganized but disillusioned employees quietly parting ways piecemeal, if part of your goals is to actually effect change.
