I agree that they're people who act like idiots and often think they have power/influence when they really don't and should be ignored, but the problem is there are a lot of spineless companies/businesses who will give into these people's apparent complaints (AKA complaining about dumb shit) because they shit themselves at the sight of any potential 'controversy', and I put controversy in quotations because there is no real controversy it's just a small minority of people complaining about shit they don't like, but yet these companies still give in anyway since they're apparently too dumb or scared to see that.

Then when they give in, it makes those people feel more empowered that if they keep complaining about dumb shit that they can eventually get their way so they keep doing it. Just look at the recent banning of grid girls from F1 or whatever, it only took some feminists complaining for them to immediately get scared and get rid of them, even though the women who were grid girls voted against it since they were fine with their jobs. 

It surprises me that these companies do not realize that the minority of people complaining is obviously not part of the target audience.

Worse yet is when they do it time and time again and are met with less and less revenue while trying to please the non-target audience.

Like hiring Sarkeesian as adviser even when she said she have no interest in gaming, just to bash it.

And also in Brazil (perhaps this is already common overseas) like 90% of the ads are PC oriented and seem like the manager decided to push his own agenda instead of the company product.
