The most common defense [The Guardian, Hindustan Times] is that the man in blue was meant to be Dionysus/Bacchus and the tableau a nod to The Feast of the Gods painting by Jan van Bijlert, but that painting itself is said to be a reference to The Last Supper.

First off, they're not book bans. It's usually a library or district just taking a book off its shelves. That you hear more about it affecting progressive books is just because the left loves to produce a lot of “educational material” (propaganda) for children. Right-wing books don't even get to the point of there being a possibility that they get “banned“ (i.e. pulled from shelves somewhere), because they aren't stocked in the first place or they're pulled outright from Amazon and other major booksellers.
It's been effective framing for them though, redirecting the conversation away from their far more common and significant censorship. I may put together something addressing this later.

This is something this writer has long argued, against widespread skepticism. Basically, we've never lost the power we have as consumers. Corporations can't just keep spitting in our faces forever. The problem is that conservatives suck — or did suck — at boycotts, not that they don't work.
But there's also been some confusion about what we want here. We're surrounded by ads in our day-to-day life. It's deeply annoying to be subjected to this propaganda. We just want it to stop. It seems though like a lot of people have a vendetta against the Bud Light brand specifically. But woke capitalism is a widespread phenomenon. We've already made our point to Anheuser-Busch. Now we want all the other companies to get that message too.
