Well, I can only speak from my own experience- and I had never heard of Kibosh, or Mamnick, before yesterday/today.
I visited the Kibosh site, saw Donhou as co-sponsor with Mamnick (and an old F1 car).
Mamnick is run by Thom, who holds views that I consider to be both factually wrong and morally bankrupt.
Given his billing on the Kibosh site as partner/sponsor/whatever, then that appears as an endorsement of what Mamnick stands for (hate, division, ignorance) from Donhou and Kibosh.
Now that may not be true- but to a first time visitor (me) to Kibosh, that’s the perception.
Perception is reality until such a time as that perception is corrected- which in this case would be Kibosh and Donhou making their position known, and known in such a way that it wasn’t open to interpretation- for e.g. “we are sorry that you are offended” type bollocks.
