Never a better time for the Streisand Effect than when it’s a government covering up acts of brutality and evil.
From what I recall, the first time I saw ‘rainbow capitalism’ from a big brand was this image from Oreo in 2012.
It created a lot of controversy. Calls for boycotts and such. But Oreo didn’t take it down. They were unapologetic and didn’t try to appease the homophobes or backtrack.

The go-to line for live action parodies of Oblivion NPC dialgoue being “Have you heard of the High Elves?” is so funny to me. That’d be like walking up to someone in broad daylight and asking them “Have you heard of the Italians?” with zero wind-up or context
This site has been going around Twitter trans accounts quite a bit lately, so just pointing out here too that it’ll do fuck all, they’re exploiting trans people at a time when hrt is particularly hard to access and please don’t give them your money
fuckin exploitative bullshit marketed in the worst way imaginable

There’s something elegant in its lack of pretense. It twists so far into self-parody it wraps all the way back around to become a confession.
It is ‘the act of playing “Born in the USA” on the 4th of July without having ever paid attention to anything but the chorus’ melted down into jewelry.
It is a Happy Meal prize from a universe where the McDonalds mascot is Ted McNugent.
It is your best defense, your only defense, against the scourge of Communist Wolfpires.
It is the faction Symbol of America… if America was a faction in Warhammer 40K.
It is a monument to our sin at only $39.99 $24.97 with free shipping.
I have cochlear implants and I can only buy parts to fix them or upgrade then from 1 corporation bc of tech exclusivity. upgrades to get new processors for both ears cost $23k & insurance only covers 90% (and it’s “good” insurance)

“we have to keep this website safe for the children who use it” Argument based on fallacybanning pornography and sex workers does not prevent pornography and sex work from occuring on the site, it only forces aforementioned users to hide and avoid labling their content appropriately, which REDUCES the safety for children and sex workers alike instead of increasing it, this has been shown to the point that making this argument at all is tantamount to admiting fascist intent APPEAL DENIED
