Corporations supporting pride are canaries in the coalmine. When they stop chirping, you know something is wrong.

Besides, I don't like cynicism. Yeah, most big corps don't give a fuck. And this is what this meme is about. But regular gays work everywhere, and support does make a difference in those places

Absolutely - rainbow capitalism can be a problem, and actively attacking that rainbow capitalism from a place of bigotry-in-power can be a far bigger problem. Visibility and representation matter.

[-] hungryphrog 20 points 5 days ago

Exactly. I fucking hate rainbow capitalism, but it's disturbing to see how in the last few years I've seen less and less rainbow logos and flags.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

Well, if the homophobes hate it, and the LGBT people constantly post "I SEE THROUGH YOUR BULLSHIT" why should they bother anymore?

Jesus, it is the company in Portal. It is a satire

I'm not sure whether I want this to be read by GLADOS or Cave Johnson. Both would deliver the hell out of these lines.

[-] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 30 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Initially I thought Cave Johnson, but the enumeration in the first paragraph seems more of a GLaDOS thing. The rest could go either way. If on the other hand, the enumeration was phrased without "the following regions:", it would be more Cave Johnson.

[-] cfi@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

The enumerations would work if he's reading it as a press release, probably uncomfortably, and with a few asides to an off-screen character about how he doesn't like it

[-] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

On second thought, could be 1980s Cave Johnson, when Aperture was seriously in decline.

[-] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

With irritated paper-shuffling noises.

[-] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I prefer the robotic announcer with the fake uplifting, soulless tone.

I'm a little surprised nobody thinks of that

[-] lime@feddit.nu 17 points 6 days ago

emergency testing initiative voice from the start of P2, just for the maximum level of unpersonness

[-] JusticeForPorygon 6 points 5 days ago

I think specifically Portal 1 GLADOS.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

JK Simmons would do this press release proud.

Most accurate depiction of corpo pride month attitude.

[-] CatDogL0ver@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

No one plays Portal here? No gamers?

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 days ago

I'm more of a Black Mesa guy.

[-] CatDogL0ver@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Got it on sale!

[-] SuperZorro@discuss.tchncs.de 43 points 5 days ago

*parts of North America

“And then, there will be cake.”

There was cake, just not for you.

Some conservative is gonna see this and start a "Boycot Aperture Science" campaign.

[-] Grostleton@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

Quick spread the word to them

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

I saw this or something similar a few years ago.

It's outdated today. Aperture is a defense contractor that wouldn't risk upsetting trump.

[-] brejela@lemm.ee 8 points 4 days ago

Ok but is that voice GLADOS or Cave Johnson?

[-] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago

in my head it was the other robotic voice. I think it was used in both portal 1 and 2

[-] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Definitely Cave Johnson. The tone is disregarding and corporate, GLaDOS would have been insulting and condescending.

[-] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 2 points 4 days ago

In my head it was definitely Cave.

[-] RedFrank24@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Yeah and now that certain companies run the risk of getting flattened into the ground by Trump, only those companies that actually gave a shit continue to support Pride.

[-] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 4 days ago

only those companies that actually gave a shit continue to support Pride.

By which you mean only those companies that believe appearing to give a shit will be more profitable than sucking Trump's dick continue to support Pride.

[-] CatDogL0ver@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Isn't that's company in Portal (video game)?

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Yes, a company that heavily satirizes American capitalism.

[-] Nangijala@feddit.dk 3 points 4 days ago

Are you telling me that there are companies out there that actually care about the LGBT for real?

[-] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

There are at least a few companies owned by people in that community.

Any of the multinational conglomerates, though? Not a chance.

[-] Plesiohedron@lemmy.cafe 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I'll do my own pandering thank you. With a collection of clear virtue signals, a rigorous purity filter and a crew of fanatical moderators.

[-] CatDogL0ver@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

You never play Portal?

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

BASED as FUCK

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

Same thing happens at Christmas.

[-] Kickforce@lemmy.wtf 9 points 5 days ago

Much more pronounced too. It goes way beyond a few posters and flags. Xmas songs, trees,food etc. It's on everything all over the place. Pride needs to really up its game to get up to Xmas level.

[-] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

The Safeway here puts up Xmas decorations in September, so does math we’re going to have to start in February…

[-] Kickforce@lemmy.wtf 3 points 4 days ago

And keep it up till halfway the summer when you switch out for Halloween....

You might get accused of waging a war on Easter though. I suggest joining forces with the Easter Bunny, hares that lay eggs are queer as can be.

I will be so happy for you guys once this gains widespread acceptance

[-] glorkon@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

He didn't say "Chariots!", so we know it was a Cave Johnson from an alternate universe.
