"Shoving down our throats"

Would like to submit a petition to stop the use of "shove down our throats" as a metaphor for "experiencing something I personally don't like"

Whether it's legislation passed by democratically elected officials or the reddit complaint I saw that Netflix is "shoving episode spoilers down our throats"

You will take this, and take it completely voluntarily.

I approve this rant.

What percentage of the uses of this phrase are associated with legislation protecting GLBT rights? 90%?
