For context, the triggered "masses" over there actually posted a thread poll asking their members if they would boycott future Atlas games because of their "interpretation" of Catherine's ending, and specifically attacking creator Hashino for his "phobic crimes": http://archive.is/r5lqT
The archive doesn't catch the poll results, but this screenshot will do, and suffice to say, it's not exactly an overwhelming amount of support being thrown towards a full boycott: https://imgur.com/03HiY7w
For the didn't click: Only 6.6% (out of 2000+ votes) would never buy another Atlus title again. Other percentages wouldn't buy in specific situations (like Hashino games for example, at 12.6%. Or not just buying Catherine itself at 22%). 56% will continue to purchase without issue.
The big takeaway from all this is again, that Resetera owes its reputation and perception due to a small handful of loud and belligerent SJW's who are protected by their mod staff that ban any rational discourse and opposing views. That those who would be in favor of such a "boycott" are such a tiny spec of the overall marketplace and that by "going woke" to please them, you will most definitely go broke.
