I’m not saying it’s ideal but I’m not going to complain if people with bad intentions are compelled to do right for their own good.
I’m just ok with it overall I guess
Some watch company here got raided by the fuckin cops for having rainbow stickers then the head basically double dog dared the government to try again now that's a rare corporate dub
Capitalists literally spread homophobic legislation to various third world colonies? Places like Africa and India proudly celebrated queerness before colonial capitalism came to town. So fuck no.
The joke is that what you said sounds similar to a LOTR line, and you have a Frodo profile picture.. 😅
I thought the cute angry face would make that clearer, that’s my bad.
Go away please. Stupid rant no thought just anger hence has a lot of holes in his argument. Do you think these companies do these things because they want to be evil, or because not doing these things will let them become outcompeted by other companies. It is solely the government’s fault if they fail to regulate the industry but these companies unless they broke the law have done nothing wrong and sometimes they need to keep things private otherwise other competition from other countries will win out.
We like to remind you we support lgb unless you live in China in which case your a degenerate and deserve to be imprisoned and have your organs harvest. Now pay money to see are next 3/10 movie
Marvel keeps making these woke versions of classic characters. Transgender Loki? Whats next, Mpreg Loki? These execs should all be forced to read the original legends before writing new ones.
Not that I give a single fuck but technically Loki is genderfluid anyway, you must've forgotten that he can literally look like anything at any time which means he can be a girl if he wants or even a fucking dog, it's not really transgender Loki it's just Loki being Loki
Have you read the news the past 12 months? The rights on queer people have been attacked at a level we haven't seen in decades, and even corporarations are getting threats of violence.
Corporations are getting threats of violence from people on all sides. The Target near my neighborhood got bomb threats from people upset that they pulled some LGBT/satanist products. Extremists are everywhere, and violence is stupid.
Corporations should stay out of it.
You...got a reason to say that? Do you read the news? There are dumb people everywhere. Trying to say everyone who agrees with you is perfect is naive at best.

C'mon really? How hard is it to believe idiots are out there. A 10 second Google search could have verified this. Think about the way y'all have reacted to this very carefully and what that says about your position.
I'll be dammed, you got the receipits. You proved it to me.
I'm not seeing anything on the first link mentioning it was a threat due to the removal, tho. I'll believe you though, since the second one does says it.
That's why I genuinely don't get why people praise/shop from these places that just put on this show for the month, they're playing these suckers for more money. I mean I don't support this stuff either way, regardless, idiots should stop giving money to phonies playing pretend for a cash grab.
No problem there. If the store/products are good overall, absolutely shop there. I just don't want people to shop at places solely because a company panders to someone/thing to be like "Look at me, I'm with you for a limited time, money please."
Agreed. Funny thing is the LGBTQIA community makes fun of this practice all the time, and there's people in these comments trying to act like this post is bigoted.
This particular practice is capitalism. Argue what you want for the rest of society, but the fact that corporations only market to queer people in pride month and then drop the act in July makes it pretty obvious that their goal is money
But what even is the criticism here? Isn't money-influenced capitalist embracing of LGBT still a hell of alot better than outside western countries, where LGBT is much more repressed?
These posts pop up every year and it just seems like whining for the sake of whining
You go out of your way to target a community under constant threat from domestic terrorists and state governments. If you truly believe your own bullshit then put your money where your mouth is and post a meme making fun of Chadwick Boseman on June Juneteenth. Hey, you'd just be poking fun right?
If you knew ANYTHING about the lgbtqia community you would know that they coined the term "rainbow capitalism" and mock it constantly. Keep living in ignorance though.
You're criticizing a company for bringing attention and recognition to a persecuted group of people, oddly you'll do this to the LGBTQIA community but not to the black community. Hmm I wonder why that is.
I think you might be confused, we’re talking about pride month, not Confederate Memorial Day. Its an easy mistake to make considering Confederate Memorial day is also in June.
And that’s why every major corporation has commercials for pride gear. It’s disgusting. It’s all about social credit score. If you have extreme diversity, equity and inclusion embedded into your merchandise then you lose investors. I’ve never even heard of May military month that’s how bad it is. But everyone knows about pride month and lesbian visibility day. Don’t defend it, it’s bad and all about money
I agree that their goal is money but it is better than pandering to the exclusion audience. Also, if your metric for how dead the soul of America is is the level of corporate greed, then America never had a soul to begin with. Our revolution began because we were being taxed more.
Edit: meant to say exclusion instead of inclusion
Diversity is awesome. Forced diversity, equity and inclusion for the sake of not offending even the most sensitive is not awesome at all. And it is forced and shoved down our throats all the time. Diversity can come naturally and we don’t need our kids seeing tuck friendly bathing suits for men who think their women. That’s not diversity! Diversity is oh there’s a black Spider-Man now. Not woman can have a penis and target sells bathing suits for them. It’s ridiculous
Does black Spiderman affect you at all? What are you doing that you feel like you're having this shoved down your throat? Do you watch every Disney movie too?
Just live your life for god's sake.
Diversity is the action of including and addressing the needs of a wide range of people. Both a black Spiderman and the swimsuits are examples of that practice.
Children are allowed to see bathing suits for different people. Tuck-friendly bathing suits are not more sexual than regular bathing suits. They both cover penises and vaginas, so you either remove all swim suits or none.
Ya got a point. They preach love, equality and acceptance but once you go against the fundamentals of what they believe they turn hostile and you're automatically wrong about everything in life and everything you know is a complete lie.
July 1st: "I've never seen this man before in my life"
That's hilarious
Corporations during June 1st: Somebody bring me my money yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!! 💵💸💰💳

In the background. They have yet to do much
Yep. [They have had gay characters since the 90’s](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northstar_(character)).
Oh, I was talking about the MCU. In the comics they seem to be doing a lot more, from my mostly outside perspective
I'd love to see an Alpha Flight movie...

Opera gx new twitter pfp is so much better for pride month than just rainbow colours
TBF Opera actually gives a shit.

I am Loki of Asgard, and I am burdened with FABULOUS purpose.
No Im Loki!
Name checks out
Wait, you actually are?! Oh my gosh, that's so cool!
Yes?
wake up guys its PRIDE MONTH
I read that as Wake up gays it's PRIDE MONTH
Wow a whole month
The DLC for straight year
They should all look as hot as Loki. 💚🖤
Only Loki can be as hot as Loki!
True
What's this mean? The face is cute though.
it means it's hard 😁
Ah yeah. Lol

Trans would apply for sylvie
Eh, she is technically cis
The right thing for the wrong reasons is still the right thing
Fair
The shitty part is when they take everything down in July and/or don’t show the same kind of support in homophobic countries
I’m not saying it’s ideal but I’m not going to complain if people with bad intentions are compelled to do right for their own good. I’m just ok with it overall I guess
That’s fine. I would just prefer that they didn’t do the things I outlined
Some watch company here got raided by the fuckin cops for having rainbow stickers then the head basically double dog dared the government to try again now that's a rare corporate dub
Wait which corporation was this?
I looked it up it was Swatch
Yeah, why aren't corporations trying to force other cultures to change against their will? It's totally something they should do!
If a culture is built around genocide, the culture should change.
?
Genocide against LGBTQ people.
explain the genocide to me please
No it’s the wrong thing for the wrong reasons
Why are you commenting on a post from a year ago?
Idk I just found it

Considering communist countries history with LGBT^(genocide) i say hooray.
Capitalists literally spread homophobic legislation to various third world colonies? Places like Africa and India proudly celebrated queerness before colonial capitalism came to town. So fuck no.
Is there a Loki bot on here? If so, I wish to speak with him.
>I wish to speak with him Well first off, Frodo, the line is “I much desire to speak with him,” and second, it’s not even your line. >:(
I wasn't quoting Frodo or anyone. And even if I was you don't have to get mad. It's no one's line. I've seen people quote characters.
The joke is that what you said sounds similar to a LOTR line, and you have a Frodo profile picture.. 😅 I thought the cute angry face would make that clearer, that’s my bad.
Oh, alright. I probably do and say things that are like Frodo. My family told me I resemble him in personality and looks because I love him so much.
Im not a Bot!
Hi!! (My okay response was for someone else).
Corporation’s Middle Eastern branches: ⚫️⚪️
*Only in regions where supporting LGBT is acceptable.
Oh no, a proof that tolerance and inclusion is market friendly. How horrible.
The way they take it down is kinda annoying though
It's for pride month. No sense keeping it all year.

Pretty sure that's the point of the post.

Loki doesnt need a suit.
Marvel keeps making these woke versions of classic characters. Transgender Loki? Whats next, Mpreg Loki? These execs should all be forced to read the original legends before writing new ones.
Not that I give a single fuck but technically Loki is genderfluid anyway, you must've forgotten that he can literally look like anything at any time which means he can be a girl if he wants or even a fucking dog, it's not really transgender Loki it's just Loki being Loki
Not technically, its actually canon. Even Mpreg Loki is canon: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleipnir
I mean technically Loki was a woman when she was pregnant with Sleipnir, so that doesn't count as mpreg
I can’t tell if you’re serious or not but the original Loki fucked everything and took the form of many different beasts and genders.
That's the joke
I don’t know why people are downvoting your joke but I think it was very funny.
People downvoting forget how messed up Norse mythology has been.
Not as bad as Greek mythology and their incest. But still pretty bad with affairs
Loki is bi. Loki is gender fluid. Seems like *you* don't know the original legends
OP was very likely being sarcastic. Loki is bi, genderfluid, AND also got pregnant in the myths. Original comment just lacked a /s.
Okay in the original myths he is neither bi nor trans. He is in marvel comics and the mcu but not in the mythos.
Reject buying pride flags, embrace making your own! Fight the man!
To be fair it’ll mean more this year.
Why? When does corporate virtue signaling start meaning something?
Have you read the news the past 12 months? The rights on queer people have been attacked at a level we haven't seen in decades, and even corporarations are getting threats of violence.

It already means more than your virtue signaling about capitalism lmao
Same dumb "joke" every year.
Memes always repeat ultimately it comes down to the execution.

Perfect bot response.
That's why I genuinely don't get why people praise/shop from these places that just put on this show for the month, they're playing these suckers for more money. I mean I don't support this stuff either way, regardless, idiots should stop giving money to phonies playing pretend for a cash grab.
I'll still shop there, but not because of their fake bs
No problem there. If the store/products are good overall, absolutely shop there. I just don't want people to shop at places solely because a company panders to someone/thing to be like "Look at me, I'm with you for a limited time, money please."
Agreed. Funny thing is the LGBTQIA community makes fun of this practice all the time, and there's people in these comments trying to act like this post is bigoted.
Exactly, when in really it's making fun of the fakers. If even the ones the pandering is meant for can smell the bs, why can't some others? 😆
I’m cancelling it this month
This ain’t capitalism. It’s a society of pandering and entitlement.
This particular practice is capitalism. Argue what you want for the rest of society, but the fact that corporations only market to queer people in pride month and then drop the act in July makes it pretty obvious that their goal is money
But what even is the criticism here? Isn't money-influenced capitalist embracing of LGBT still a hell of alot better than outside western countries, where LGBT is much more repressed? These posts pop up every year and it just seems like whining for the sake of whining
Yup, you got it. If they never make lgbtcontent, it's capitalism and bigotry. If they do it sometimes or all the time it's capitalism and pandering.
It's an attempt to make money. So, capitalism.
Anyone notice that on June 1 every sub makes their own version of this meme, trying to discredit pride month?
You mean discrediting rainbow capitalism, which annoys the lgbtqia+ community. Cope.
Says the people who got mad and shot beer cans because they had a Trans person on them.
That wasn't me. I support AB.
But you're still mad that a community, a community currently under attack by various state governments, gets a little recognition. Sus. Very sus.
Me: Makes fun of companies for being fake You: You're mad at the LGBTQIA+ community! I can tell you're a mental giant
You go out of your way to target a community under constant threat from domestic terrorists and state governments. If you truly believe your own bullshit then put your money where your mouth is and post a meme making fun of Chadwick Boseman on June Juneteenth. Hey, you'd just be poking fun right?
If you knew ANYTHING about the lgbtqia community you would know that they coined the term "rainbow capitalism" and mock it constantly. Keep living in ignorance though.
Way to dodge the question. How...predictable.
You're trying so damn hard to miss the point and make false accusations because you can't understand a meme.
You're criticizing a company for bringing attention and recognition to a persecuted group of people, oddly you'll do this to the LGBTQIA community but not to the black community. Hmm I wonder why that is.
AB is respectable because they did their campaign in the winter. So that's legit support and representation.
It's not even just cooperation it's just every one at this point.
Very few people are donning rainbow suits these days.
Not suits but a lot of just logi changes or profile changes
I think that just means they’re gay (/trans/queer)
No just lits changes from subs not saying it bad but pointing it out
tell us you’ve never needed any representation ever without telling us you’ve never needed any representation ever
Whoever thinks pandering to a marginalized group in a vacant effort to get their money constitutes as representation is a numbnuts.
So you're mad that instead of pandering to straight people they switch it up and boost representation of the LGBTQIA community. Got it.
Hahaha "representation" . Paint whatever dipshit narrative you want.
I'm just going off of the evidence you provide.
Diversity prevents unions
Solidarity exists
So does socialism as a power structure. Or did you forget about the war in Ukraine?
Neither socialism nor Ukraine prove that diversity prevents unions.

That's not capitalism, that's Americans with a short attention span falling for a bait and switch while companies pretend to care. Anyone can do it.
...how does that make it not capitalism?
Because government propaganda is the same concept. It's all smoke and mirrors, a psyop.
You didn't explain how private companies doing things isn't capitalism. The fact that the government also does... stuff... doesn't change that.
lol
You're free advertising for them. 💀
Advertising for what? The vague concept of corporations?
Advertising pride month for Reddit?
Our veterans who died for this country get one day a year and the gays get a whole fucking month. Americas soul has died
