    To be fair to target most business is just talk when it comes to these types of things.

    Consumers need to understand that corporate support for any particular initiative begins and ends with how it affects the bottom line.

    Disney, Google, even Costco cannot actually care about any of these things. The corporate incentives do not allow for it.

        The performance serves as a barometer for how, idk, accepted a thing is. Having LGBTQ displays made me, an LGBTQ person, feel like Corporations thought we were a market worth wooing. Taking that and DEI away is a kick in the teeth. It feels worse than never having the displays or DEI programs in the first place.

            No, I thought capitalists wanted to appeal to mainstream consumers. DEI and pride displays are marketing techniques. Removing them says “nope, minorities aren’t worth appealing to”.
