I too am surprised there aren't more stories of this. Next thing you know these "Social Justice Warrior" types will be picketing our favorite watering holes because they display "cultural insensitivity".

On the plus side, there has been more and more resistance to them recently as well. The protests against the Boston MFA went over like a lead balloon, for example, and video gamers have been winning their fight despite having almost the entire weight of the mainstream media thrown against them. Luckily you can't really become a part of the Tiki scene unless you're actually into Tiki, which means any attacks on it will always be from outsiders and, for the most part, can be ignored (and generally ought to be).

Agree on everything you said. Funny thing is, up until this thread I thought that Gamer-gate was the most ridiculous example of this I had heard of!
