The act of creating something intentionally controversial so that you can claim that you're being unjustly censored when private businesses don't want to be associated with it, with the objective of motivating the easily-manipulated into reacting emotionally and patronizing/advocating for your product.

They willingly send you their money and encourage others to do the same as a protest of the legitimate market reaction to your creation.
"The Sound of Freedom" and "Try that in a small town" are some top-quality Rube-Bilking. They made a fortune off of those morons.
