I mean it's not really... Once bitten, twice shy. After 20 years of being bitten I'm pretty much amaxophobic towards the brand.
What I'm talking about is the popular stand that offenses against public opinion are unforgivable and unredeemable. Nobody should buy from company X, nobody should listen to musician Y, nobody see any more movies with actor Z in them, etc.
The fact remains that, unless everyone decides to punish these companies by not buying anything from them until they change course, it'll only keep getting worse. Show me 1 that has changed to keep their clients happy instead of the shareholders. Yes, it can change within 20 years, for the worse, as history has shown us.
