I quote “Minority influence, a form of social influence, takes place when a member of a minority group influences the majority to accept the minority’s beliefs or behavior.”
I read an article on the BBC (where else) regarding Disney+ decision to add a content warning to 18 episodes of The Muppet Show.

One example was having the great Johnny Cash singing in front of a confederate flag, pure symbol of racism.
Yet again this makes the assumption that the majority of people would find this offensive.
I don’t.
And I would assume that the vast silent majority either don’t find it offensive or have no opinion either way, but because we don’t immediately send Twitter into meltdown our opinion is largely ignored.
In English law there is a term called “Man on the Clapham omnibus”.
The man on the Clapham omnibus is a hypothetical ordinary and reasonable person, used by the courts in English law where it is necessary to decide whether a party has acted as a reasonable person would – for example, in a civil action for negligence.
Surely before companies decide on these things they could say to themselves, what would a reasonable persons opinion be?
Instead of listening to the rabid, BLM, woke, lefty, libtard cancel culture.
