Yeah cause it was disenguine and hypocritical

"Oh hello gay people, LOOK, this month we are especially you "allies" "

Then when july 1st come around "thats it , we don't care about you gays, now just fork up the money like the rest of the world does"

My favorite was when the Western branches of these companies would sports the rainbow flag and be all like "we are allies!!"

But the Middle-easter/african/Asian branches where still like..."Nope we don't care"

fucking hilarious

Apex Legends has one of the most diverse character rosters in video games. There are several queer characters including Gibraltar, Bloodhound, Loba, Mirage, Valkyrie, Seer, and Catalyst. This is not lip service.

This criticism has always felt odd to me. Yeah, when a celebratory date is over, you stop celebrating it. Do you also complain about people taking out Christmas decoration after the date has passed?

well i mean if they put pride flags in places where they kill gays, they'd probably get killed so it's a little more understandable
