Corporations supporting pride are canaries in the coalmine. When they stop chirping, you know something is wrong.
Besides, I don’t like cynicism. Yeah, most big corps don’t give a fuck. And this is what this meme is about. But regular gays work everywhere, and support does make a difference in those places
Absolutely - rainbow capitalism can be a problem, and actively attacking that rainbow capitalism from a place of bigotry-in-power can be a far bigger problem. Visibility and representation matter.
Idk this has similar energy to “If conservatives hate foreigners and progressives see through the bullshit PR - why shouldn’t Shein just continue using child slaves?”
I hear you. My reaction to the banks/other massive conglomerates draping colors for whichever things will retain the most customers that day/week/month is the same as the people who wait until the Super Bowl and then show up at work decked out in Eagles gear. It’s sad that it has to be tied to something so fake but the support isn’t exactly going to be turned down.

Exactly. I fucking hate rainbow capitalism, but it’s disturbing to see how in the last few years I’ve seen less and less rainbow logos and flags.
Well, if the homophobes hate it, and the LGBT people constantly post “I SEE THROUGH YOUR BULLSHIT” why should they bother anymore?

I’d love to engage, but I don’t understand the Shein child slave thing
Jesus, it is the company in Portal. It is a satire
Great analogy.
