Well...

What Yoshino is basically saying is that because every person is unique, ( yeah yeah, I know it's cliche) nobody is really the same, and mainstream really doesn't exist. Therefore, there is no such thing as a mainstream majority, a group of people that doesn't have to cover any part of themselves from society, be it religious beliefs or a secret love of Hannah Montana. Yoshino, however, tells the reader to stay away from covering up parts of ourselves, and get rid of the idea of a 'mainstream.' Mainstream is something that the majority of people are in support of or like, such as oreos and cheeseburgers. And milkshakes. As far as people go, it refers to characteristics that the majority has. I thought that his argument was persuasive, mainly just because he used good examples. (Ever since we read that article about torture, I am way more skeptical of peoples examples and statistics....gee thanks) Anyways, Yoshino does a good job of convincing the reader, and proving that mainstream is in fact a myth.
