It’s not just corporations. It’s influencer-grifters like Pirat_Nation.
…And, to be blunt, reposters who further spread the ragebait like OP.
The platforms are what facilitate marketing bait.
Comment on Good luck figuring it out since it also doesn’t come with man pages
Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoEh at this point I’m just sick and fucking tired watching sexuality become nothing but marketing bait. People’s sexuality and gender are becoming nothing but a two cent market gimmick and it’s fucking insulting.
This isn’t cool representation! It’s hey lgbtq people your stupid and fucking easy. Look we can use the right words. Trust us and buy our shit.
It’s just the fucking corporatization of rainbows in June all over again.

“Becoming” as though “sex sells” hasn’t been a thing for literally as long as we’ve had the concept of commerce…

Yeah agree
It’s a fucking fox, why does it need to have a specific gender? It was genderless by default they don’t need to announce it one way or another, other than to pander to people.

This is what I figured what would happen once people started pushing for more explicit sexuality acceptance. This is the bed they made.
This is also due to people inside said corporations pushing for this shit due to ideological reasons.
*some LGBT:* Give us the positive attention and validation that we crave! *Large Corporations, seeing opportunities:* OK *some LGBT:* No, not like that!
Again, welcome to their bed.
