That kind of defeats the purpose of it being a safe place for immunocompromised women.

    Yeah. You know what else defeats the purpose? Getting it shut down because the owner doesn't wanna be homeless anymore.

    Having a mask free night isn't going to save a failing business. Having vulnerable customers get sick and die there most definitely WILL.

    Right, so fuck that woman. It's her fault for trying to start a business. Let's not put a sign up telling compromised not to come in that night, let's just let it go under without trying anything, and condemn that fucking whore to the streets possibly for life, because she dared do something for the community. And don't forget to be a petulant toxic asshole so the rest of society never stops mocking you.

    And the community is allowed to say "we don't want to come to your bar any more", and that's EXACTLY what this boycott is. They aren't telling her she has to change, just that they won't be coming to her bar any more if she doesn't. People are allowed to choose not to visit a piece. And you somehow have a problem with that??? You seem to think a boycott shouldn't be allowed and that people should be FORCED to visit her bar? WTF is wrong with you?

    What the fuck do you think a sign is for? Who the fuck said anything about forcing anything on anyone? A boycott is not just choosing not to patronize a business, it's trying to rally the community to ruin a business and ruin the owner, usually because they did something evil. You advocate ruining a person because she doesn't cater exclusively to you, and only you. What the fuck is wrong with you?
