Tbf when they do change to pride logos everyone is quick to call it hollow virtue signaling

I wish it were because being any flavor of LGBTQ+ were as mundane and accepted as being left handed and didn’t warrant a month of special attention… but I know its because most of these companies didn’t really care to begin with, and that rainbow capitalism was just overwhelmed by a hostile and violent political movement in the US.
What’s a little extra disappointing, is how much of that seems to have only existed for the sake of the US market to begin with. I would have preferred to see us isolated like a theocratic regime and only have the marketing changed for us. At least then I could say its because they see us sliding backwards and are reacting to that. Instead it becomes more obvious it was purely a 100% commercial.
I kinda always knew it… but its still sad to have it confirmed.
Isn’t discrimination against left handed people a thing? Implicitly in some cultures (for example, tools being made for right handed people) and, explicitly in others
Not really. Not taking them into account isn’t really discrimination. In the same way that there are many really awesome outfits made for children that they dont make for adults and we dont call it discrimination when they arent sized for everyone.
No first world country is going out of its way to make life harder for left handed people. There are shitty people everywhere though.
This is the reason I used being left handed as the example. We got over it.
yes, but they aren’t actively persecuted
Edit: seems I should’ve done some fact checking before nazi-shaming BMW. The depicted key is a fake it seems.
