      Because a rainbow profile picture doesn’t change anything. It was a way to drum up sales while it was politically convenient, or at least not inconvenient, to give the appearance of allyship.

      If those companies really gave a shit, they’d do more.

      bro lol what, they WERE lying and pretending and people WERE right to call them out.

      If a company isn’t completely faking their support they’d do something of substance, possibly even at some time that wasn’t during the designated gay™️ month.

      There’s an anarchist worker-coop cafe and bookstore in my city, you will never see them get called out for the pandering rainbow pfp bullshit because they have active LGBTQIA+ community support year-round.

      Can you hear yourself?

      There’s a decent point to be made along those lines, but that ain’t it.

      We were calling them out for JUST changing their pfp with no actual changes. Instead of making those actual changes they just stopped updating their pfps.
