At least the pandering makes conservatives upset.

LOL then there are companies that try to "appease" the offended side, like Bud Light did, and that just results in the pandered side getting upset that they revealed they just care about $$$ and the originally offended side staying upset because it's too late now.

Conservatives hate business is showing support.

So they figured out an effective way turning of LGBT people and their supporters against the businesses showing support.

The method is threads like these. Don’t fall for this shit.

Edit: redditors also fell for this same method of propaganda when conservative think tanks figured out you could pay people to throw soup on famous paintings and have them pretend to be climate activists in order to push people away from climate activism, never before had redditors been so quick to push back against climate activists in general. It’s so effective.

These same people hate that businesses show support for lgbt people, look how far they have gone freaking out at Budweiser. They are trying to convince you to agree with them by framing the support as something you won’t like. Now as we can see, there is truth behind it, it’s true that businesses are not human first, but money first, but look what the constant push to point that out does.

They have figured out a way to get supporters to help pressure businesses to not show support, no matter the reasoning behind it, that is their goal and it’s working and people falling for this are helping them achieve that goal. The goal to suppress public expressions of lgbt support by making those expressions controversial or disputed with supporters and those within the community itself.
