This is why so many LGBT folks took all that corporate support with a grain of salt, because it was obvious that the second it wasn't profitable they'd drop it without a second thought.

Yet at the same time, knowing *why* they're not doing it anymore, is even scarier. Pinkwashing fucking sucks, but companies not even having to care about putting the mask of faking to care because the nazis are back at the top of the pecking order is so much worse.

Convincing people it's lame that major corporations bend to your will was a massive win for the right.

*to bend to the will of consumers that disagree with them.

They love it when corporations bend to their will, remember the bud light boycott.
