I don't disagree that the tactic you were mentioning is a fine one to employ, I don't think it's optimal or looks the best, but sure that's how they could be handling it.
But, as Sony has shown, they are a company that prioritizes and promotes liberal agendas, why? Well, that's because they are largely western and the social and political meanings of most of their studios, again western, are that of the left leaning variety. So they are going to, as a corporation, feel the pressure to propagate and promote those positions.
Here we have a right wing, political, firebrand, assassinated, and you have a very vocal swath of this industry, presently mocking and celebrating his death, and whatever part of that swath works at Sony's Studios should be reprimanded and and punished. And Sony doing so publicly would be a great optical, move for their purchasing public, again, who are largely western and probably hold a lot of the views Charlie did.
Again, not that I agree. Everything should become political and corporations should be making statements on everything political. But Sony has already made decisions in the past on vocally supporting left, leaning ideologies and causes. So for them to quietly sneak around in the background and fire a few people and twiddle their thumbs and whistle, and hope nobody Keeps pushing them only further the obvious truth, which is they don't have respect for the other part of their purchasing public that it's probably right leaning or moderate, or hell, they don't agree with the grade, dancing and disrespect. But Sony will not show an equal measure respect
