Rainbow capitalism was only ever in it for the money.
At least the pricks are showing themselves out.
As a queer person myself, I always understood that our liberation will never come in the form of rainbow capitalism. I am not surprised at all by any of this, and to be fair, I am glad these fake allies are showing their true colours.
I’m fine with this. The LBGT community doesn’t need “fair weather friends”. This lets us know which companies to actually spend our money with.
100% but consider this a canary in the coalmine. things are going to get ugly,
Good riddance.
Rainbow washing has been getting more and more egregious, to the point where cops were in the fucking parades on floats.
Be gay do crime is not just some cute tagline on a shirt.
Let's kill two birds with one stone.
Can we start a GoFundMe for the purchase of Tik Tok to be ran by these LGBTQ+ groups?
Then they wouldn't need donors...
Hear me out on this:
- It'd be fabulous, and they'd do a great job.
- The dance videos (and their funding) would improve dramatically.
- Fuck billionaires.
Hope they're banned forever.
That and sponsors never actually supported the cause in the first place and just saw dollar signs in it
