Why? I'm sure the CEOs of most big companies we all give money to daily are evil people. Even if not, I'm sure some of their senior management, or even their janitor is a horrible person.
This is the same confusion I have when someone decides to boycott a movie based on an actor. It's very likely some of the hundreds of people who make most movies are awful too, it's entirely futile.
To what extent? If you find out that a second camera operator in 200 odd films was a child molester, would you then make a point to avoid all of their prior films? If you found out someone who worked the production line of your favourite chocolate was a neo nazi, would you stop eating that chocolate?
We only seem to care when the person who is bad is also famous. I think everyone else is just as apathetic, but deludes themselves. I promise you that most things you own or use have some tier of evil within them. People buy cheap clothes, slave made phones and all sorts of things all the time and elect to ignore the imorality of it.
