Brendan Eich was a founder. He wasn’t hired. Not sure if anyone can remove him.
How would you feel if a conservative organization mounted a campaign to boycott an entire company because the CEO is gay?
The Brave browser itself exterminating gay people, nor stopping them marrying.
Do you drink Fanta? Should we also still boycott Volkswagen and Hugo Boss?
If you apply your boycotting consistently you need to avoid an awful lot of things
(Note, I’m not defending Brendan Eich or his appalling views)

Get the actual fuck out of here with your both sides bullshit. Boycotting a company for bigoted is not the same as boycotting a company because you yourself are a bigoted piece of shit.

No-one is claiming whatever it is you are trying to say.
I’m saying neither the company nor product have done anything bigoted.
Boycotting any and every company that employs bigots is impossible.

If you can't see why one would boycotting a company with a loud and proudly bigoted founder, i don't know what the fuck to tell you other that you need to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

I can’t see why we should boycott when the product isn’t bigoted and the company doesn’t do bigoted things.
Highlighting a particular employee or position is not logical.
If the CFO was bigoted would you boycott?
If the country manager was bigoted would you boycott?
…
If the intern was bigoted would you boycott?
Under your moral code ANY company employing at least one bigot should be boycotted. This leads to almost all companies being boycotted.
