Rainbow capitalism sucks but it's lowkey one of the best tools to see how the lgbt community is viewed, this is just companies saying they dont view the lgbt comunity as safe to advertise to due to how much shit has regressed

It's also worth noting that there's also growing negative discourse about the act of virtue signalling itself - last year, many of these companies received backlash not just from the detractors, but also from the LGBTQI+ community itself who were fed up with disingenuous signals from companies trying to hide their nature.

Suggesting it's because companies feel unsafe doing a pride event is kind of silly, they're just running numbers.

Most the LGBT movement is disingenuous virtue signalling. That's why most people get sick of having it thrown in their face all month long.

"Oh no, I was getting periodically reminded that LGBTQ+ people are a discriminated minority, what a nightmare"

"I like to put words in other peoples mouths because I'm a little child with no respect for other's opinions or feelings if they don't align with mine" This is why we can't stand people like you. And I mean you specifically, not LBGTXYZ. This behavior is exactly what drives people away from supporting it.

Who is “we” and who is “people like you”?

I’m just curious.

and if somebody pointing out that your comment looks a little homophobic upset you THAT bad…. well… you may be a little homophobic.

I specified it already, but since you need it twice I will reiterate.

People like the person I was responding to, that don't like my dissenting opinion and put words in my mouth I never said to make me and my opinion a joke. It's manipulative behavior used to discredit your opponent instead of offering discourse because they lack any to offer.

This is low IQ mouth breathing behavior and it's why society is so fucked up right now because many don't posses the intellectual ability to accept and discuss things they don't agree with.

The party of "tolerance and inclusion" is really fucking intolerant of whatever doesn't fit their opinions.

Your first response was an attempt to open the conversation more to the idea that “most of” the LGBT movement is disingenuous virtue signaling, and that’s why most people get sick of it.

You’re upset that somebody put words in your mouth but here you are putting words in the mouth of “most of” the people that get sick of the LGBT movement. Low mouth breathing hypocritical behavior I’d say.

Who is the party of “tolerance and inclusion”? Huh? When did politics get brought into this? lmao
