To me, the problem with boycotting Marvel as a whole at the moment is that they're moving in this direction because they think their readers have a problem with diversity. So boycotting titles like Ms Marvel, Captain Marvel, Thor, Sam Wilson as Cap, Black Panther, Silk, Kate Bishop as Hawkeye... it's just reinforcing those opinions (and potentially allowing them to cancel titles like Ms Marvel, putting writers like G. Willow Wilson out of a job).
(And then there's the fact that Chris Evans, for example, is vocally anti-fascist and using the heck out of his platform to make it very obvious. Though he at least has plenty of other gigs if Captain America somehow failed.)
I am extremely upset about what they've done to Steve Rogers and the Maximoff twins, so much so that I wish I could anti buy Nick Spencer's run on Cap, but... it also seems counterproductive to boycott Ms Marvel et al. Not an easy dilemma to solve.
