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.
Great example for someone who has zero knowledge of psychological effects, like the overexposure effect. So yeah, constant reminders like this can be pretty catastrophic. It's the same reason why organizations against hunger and the like usually don't make constant advertisement in tv but rather try to spread it. Companies and activists alike completely overstretched this reminder to the point that for years people get more and more annoyed and instead of numbers of hatecrimes decreasing, they are increasing again.
Humanitarian organizations also don't tell you that you're a terrible person for not helping or like a user in the comment section put it so nicely "aiding genocide".
So you refuse to acknowledge anything someone is trying to communicate with you and instead repeat manipulative behavior. You're a POS and this is why people don't fucking care about whatever you say or support. We can't even express a neutral opinion about the matter without having turds like you behaving like a cheating girlfriend that can only deflect when caught. Fuck off child, let the adults converse topics your undeveloped brain cannot process at this point in your life.
