Folks In This Online Community Are Boycotting These 40 Things, Brands And People Until The End Of Their Days
Boycotting something is a good way of showing your principles and what you believe in. For example, in 1980, the USA didn’t send their athletes to the Summer Olympic Games in Moscow to show they don’t support the Soviets invading Afghanistan in 1979 and 60 other countries joined the boycott.
This is a boycott on a huge scale that affected many parts of the world and went into history. But all of us have our own principles and morals that may lead us to refuse some things in our life.
Bored Panda went to Reddit and found a couple of discussions where people were talking about what are the things they are boycotting till the day they die. Redditors came with some interesting answers and we compiled a list of the most intriguing answers. So enjoy and feel free to let us know your thoughts. Maybe there are things that are missing in this list? Sound them off in the comments. Also, don’t forget to upvote the answers you agree with the most.

A circus with animals.
Charlie grace 3 years ago
Anything where animals are used for 'entertainment' for humans. E.g. donkeys having to have huge people sat on them whilst they traipse uphill. Makes my blood boil :(

PETA. Tells us how to take care of our pets while abusing animals themselves

Multi-level-marketing schemes. They’re s**t companies that attract s****y, and sometimes desperate people, and train them on how to profit off of their friends and families. They destroy lives and I refuse to support them.
btw Reddit is the reason I found out how predatory mlms are. The anti-mlm community, especially here on Reddit, has done a great job informing people who might otherwise be vulnerable to these schemes on what they really are

Watch the Loula Rich documentary on Amazon (not sure on spelling) the audacity of the company directors is astounding. Very interesting to see how they were able to build such a vast business, and how quickly the MLM collapsed. They were still millionaires tho when it collapsed and most of the people affected were never compensated or reimbursed. Owners of MLMs should be banned from starting new businesses and companies forever.

I have been boycotting Carnival cruise line ever since I found out they are dumping plastic into the Bahamas. They even admitted to it and received a 20 million dollar fine.
#10
Facebook. It divides and dumbs down people, contrary to what it should do.
#11
The sun newspaper, and anything else Rupert Murdoch related.
#12
Nestle. Bill Cosby. Ticketmaster. Wells Fargo.
All should be in jail.
#13
TikTok. Never used it, never will.
I remember when it was first introduced to the world with its horrendous clickbait, cringey advertising and marketing, really skin crawlingly cringey "singing and dancing" videos from questionably aged girls. People swore it'd never catch on, but those same people are the short-term-memory idiots fully buying into it now.
But it goes deeper than that. I hate TikTok because of what it's done to the other media sites, particularly Instagram. It's created a culture of sensationalist, narcissistic, egotistical behaviour, as that has become today's sell point. And as a result, Instagram for example have now tried to turn their own platform into TikTok v.2. I use Instagram for my mates, nothing more. I don't want f*****g reels thrown in my face all day, "celebs" talking s**t about products they never actually use, people making fake videos for views, clickbait thumbnails, sponsored ads at a ratio of 1:3 posts, and even a f*****g shop.
tl;dr: TikTok and today's online culture in general is cancer.

When the Queen dies we should just quietly retire the lot of them. Bunch of freeloaders.

Murdoch Media - News Corp, Faux News etc.
Thorfin Wolfsbane 3 years ago (edited)
Just a reminder - Hitler started his political career calling all the news he didn't agree with "Fake News" (technically he called them the "Lying Press"). Then he blamed all the countries problems on a minority community of immigrants. Then came the policies whereby citizins could turn in other citizens for not being patriotic enough (hyperpatriotism). It's the fascist playbook.
#18
Nestle.
I may inadvertently grab one of it's products, but when I see the name, i always put it back.
Emma Byrne 3 years ago
Nestle is a pimple on the carbuncle of the words a**s. Capitalism sucks.
#20
The Oscars. Screw the Oscars. That Hollywood circle jerk has absolutely no business telling anyone what cinema is. 2017 Boss Baby got nominated for best animated feature, but Your Name didn’t? Excuse me? Wtf?
Then 30+ people die in an arson attack on an animation studio in Japan and not so much as a single word during the in remembrance section? If that happened to Pixar… they would have given them a full-on twenty minute segment.
#21
Any company or brand that puts advertisements on boat billboards that trawl the beach and f**k up my horizon line. That's not a fair spot to try to capture my attention.
#22
Cosmopolitan magazine. When I was 15 in the early 2000’s I consciously decided to never purchase or read any of their magazines or any magazine like it. I felt all they did was prod at young girls/women’s insecurities and encouraged a woman’s self loathing/dissatisfaction to flourish.
Kookamunga 3 years ago
What's funny about Cosmo (and lots of other mags) is that it's pretty much the same magazine, year after year! "Look Good!" "Turn on your Man!" "Latest STDs to Worry About!" "Another Forgettable Celebrity Profile!" "Are Your Arms Too Fat?" "Secrets of Makeup Artists!" "Dating Mistakes You Made this Month, Dumbass!" The same stuff, for decades. Source: I am old

R Kelly. Kills me I can never hear Ignition Remix ever again. Such a banger.
#24
Hobby Lobby.
Jaguarundi 3 years ago
The owner of this tripe shop is now being forced to return stolen antiquities to the countries of origin.
#25
Susan G. Koman Foundation - they employ alphabet soup & lawyer speak to defraud millions. NOTE: THEY DO NOT FUND RESEARCH NOR DO THEY HELP PATIENTS! THEY ARE AN ADVERTISING COMPANY. THEY ADVERTISE CANCER AWARENESS (because someone may be unaware of cancer s)
MADD - same as Koman, they promote anti-drunk driving awareness.
#26
K-Cups. I think the Kuerig is a good product, but the disposable k-cups are so wasteful. I have a Kuerig, but I use a reusable pod that you can put ground coffee into.
#27
I used to try and boycott amazon. Never ordered anything from them, didn’t go on sites like goodreads or IMDB, didn’t shop at stores they had shares in. Then I discovered AWS. Tried to run a custom script that would block any site hosted on AWS, but that made using the internet nearly impossible. The final nail in the boycott coffin was when I needed to use it for a web development class.
Now that Amazon has bought MGM, I’m not sure how anyone will ever be able to participate in society without filling Bezos’ pockets.

Was going to add this if it did not appear. They treat their employees like slaves with no rights whatsoever

Chris brown.
Not just for the Rihanna thing he’s been a piece of s**t well before and after that. But yes also for the Rihanna thing.
#29
Casino. My family was addicted to gambling a couple of years ago and it destroyed a lot of relationships.
#32
Starbucks.
They are f******g farmers in the a*s for coffee beans and underpaying them meanwhile making millions of dollars from coffee.
#33
Autism Speaks. Among other things, they way they treat autism like it’s some kind of horrible personality disease is unforgivable.
#34
Walmart . I worked there and hate it with a passion
Jaguarundi 3 years ago
The pay and working conditions were miserable when I worked for Walmart. I had people who worked for mine and other departments who were on food stamps and WIC benefits.
#35
Microtransactions in video games. Literal cancer.
#36
Kat Von D makeup. Even now that she’s supposedly not part of it anymore, I’m not risking it.
She’s a trash human being, her husband is a trash human being, she’s anti-vaxx (and yes I saw her “apology” video and denial video, I’m not buying that either.) Her makeup line was all I used for a very long time cos the quality was great, but after I found out how s**t she actually was, I stopped using it.

Bank Of America ! F**k those f*****g f*****s.
Jaguarundi 3 years ago
I had been trying to close my late husband's account there at BOA. Red tape and run around at every step of the process. Once they finally had the "OK" from the corporate office on the phone to release the funds to me, the office manager had the audacity to ask me if I wanted to open an account with BOA. I laughed all the way out of the bank with my cash in hand.

Lulu Lemon.
Disgusting corporate brainwashing tactics and lack of size exclusivity. Also price. I've never once set foot in a store. I read an article about its corporate "retreat" before it ever opened in my country. My mother loves it so I hear all about the price.
I love my old navy leggings.

Mac Donald's and Coca Cola. Very original, I know but to be fair, I don't lose much and these companies make me sick.
What do you think ?

Celebrity culture. Literally never understood it, I just must be missing that part of the brain that feels the need to know the in's and out's of a persons life who you've never met but enjoy their work. I think Christian Bale is a fantastic actor and I enjoy his work but I couldn't give two solitary sh*ts about what he had for dinner or the brand of clothes he wears. It's bizarre.

And who gives a flying f**k if some female actor "steps out in a tiny bikini on boyfriend's yacht during their Mediterranean vacation"...GTFOH with that crap!
