    Those logos were strange in the first place, so now, when the USA social circumstances don’t demand them anymore, they are shifting out.

      It always seemed to me like once that sort of pagentry became mandatory (through social pressure even if not actual legal requirement) then it also lost its meaning.

      Like all the banners wishing shoppers a merry Christmas. Nobody actually thinks that the managers of those stores actually care if you have a merry Christmas. It’s just what stores do to mark the start of November.

    It’s no longer profitable to do. Corporations don’t give a shit about human rights if it hurts their profits.

    They never cared about LGBTQ. These companies are not your friends. They are not your allies. They do not care about your cause or existence. They are filthy parasites that only see the almighty dollar.

    There was once a point where gay people were profitable. Now they aren’t, so corporations are now evacuating en masse.

    If white power was profitable, these companies would be slinging slurs and having swatstika logos immediately. And I’m not even exaggerating.

    It’s time you realise that Übercorps do not give a shit about me, they do not give a shit about you, or anyone you care about. They only care about your money.

    Corporate social responsibility? Welfare requirements? All strategies used to save face and get more profit. Whilst Shell is yapping on about how much they are moving to renewables, they are busy destroying rural Nigerian communities by dumping oil into their rivers. Microsoft is showing how they respect LGBTQ whilst they give the IDF servers used to bomb innocent children. Disney positions itself as moral good while it erases gay people. McDonald’s says it’s “bringing good food to us all” whilst actively making the entirety of South America obese.

    None of these parasites ever cared about anything other than money.

    Conservative neo liberals are on the rise in most of the western world so corporations do not think this masquerade is profitable anymore. Corporations never cared about lgbt crowd.

    They are hiding from honour in order to make more money. Capitalism is the farthest thing from nurturing ecology and humanity.

    I’ve always found the idea superficial and frankly vain that planting a rainbow flag in front of your HQ would somehow label you a friend to the queer community. Talk with your actions.

    People were calling out companies for pandering or appropriating pride for profit, so they stopped doing it. The woke paradox. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
