But the main reason I see it is because I can remember when it wasn't evil. 
Decadent somewhat, but not outright evil.

Sort of like watching the Road Runner cartoons.  I remember watching them when
I was little.  Then I got older and I noticed when they changed things (mostly
not showing us when the Coyote goes splat).

My youngest brother, though, doesn't remember the unedited Road Runner
cartoons.

I've dropped more than a few things because of that.  Not because of their
personal political leanings, but because they pushed them in their work.  As a
consumer, I don't have to buy their products.
