Conservatives want the LGBTQ community dead. Corporations just want money. Hmmm I wonder which one is better... I love watching losers cry about colours whether it be the colours of the rainbow or the colour of a fictional characters skin. Just a hateful bunch in general with nothing better to do with their lives other than be mad about anything they can be.

These corporations want that hatred. That's how they sell their product to people who aren't typically fans.

When Amazons casts a black guy as an elf, they intend to get that outrage and then spread it so people who know nothing about Lord of the Rings feel the need to watch it out of a sense of social justice; because people that are criticizing it seem racist.

The hatred is literally their fuel to get money out of you. They don't care. Social media companies will post tons of shit this month about pride but also propagate rage-content because it's profitable for them. There is no "one is worse than the other", they are both intertwined.

I don't give a fuck if Morgan Freeman wants to play Benjamin Franklin. I fucking hate it when these corporations engage in neo-tokenism so they can sell to middle class white America so they feel like they're hip with the social causes while also creating a nuclear waste bin of ideologies that hide in the corners of the internet until the next mass shooting happens. Shit is disgusting.

Gotta be unhinged to truly know what hinged means.
