Capitalists doing the capitalism. Nothing new.

What else do people expect? A "business" is an abstract legal entity made up of a group of individual people serving a group of individual customers. When, on average, the employees, owners and customers support X then the business supports X. If those groups stopped supporting X then the business would stop supporting X as well.

Like, does OP expect that the legal entity "Walmart" should somehow express its own moral stance on an issue independent from the humans?

Tldr: we live in a society

Its mostly poking fun at the advertising and the people that fully believe these are beliefs the company "has".

People lose their minds when a company adds something LGBTQ+ related into their ads, brainwashing this and agenda that. Somehow completely unaware that the company would switch "opinions" on a dime depending on what's profitable.

Thats the most annoying part. Representation and any positive messages are great. But the company really doesn't care so it's just lying to your face preety much.

And people keep faing for it everytime. Even people people loosing their minds makes the company happy. Company gets talked about more and you can even claim a fake moral high ground.
