There is only one problem with the “if you don’t like it don’t watch it”, brigade.

You don’t find out that you don’t like it until AFTER you have listened to or watched a programme. By then of course it is too late.

However there is nothing wrong in complaining about something even though we haven’t seen or heard the incident. How many people have actually seen a paedophile at work or a burglar or con man? How many people have witnessed the increase in knife crime? Yet we are all up in arms about it.

So the defence of “if you don’t like it don’t watch it” doesn’t wash.
