Reginald 13,841 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Elon doesn't have the guts to keep the same energy and tweet about how inauthentic the capitalist side of Black History month, Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage month, Women's History month, Hispanic Heritage month, etc are. Antagonizing the LGBTQ+ community specifically speaks volumes about Elon's character, and how he views us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 It’s obvious. It’s about the performance of brands. When it’s women’s day they change their logos, when it’s gay pride they change it up. Now all brands and corporations do it. A lot of it is hypocrisy let’s not kid ourselves. This world is 50% bullshit 45% hypocrisy 5% evil winning everything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 3 hours ago, Bradley said: By satirising this, it creates an unnecessary barrier between straight people and LGBT people since it constructs LGBT advocacy as a target for humour. It makes the straights go "here we go again!", which is not very constructive. It devalues the advocacy and trivialises the reasons why Pride month was given importance in the first place. I'd say, even if he was not homophobic himself (which I do believe in), this was done in poor taste but it's not like Elon cares about being politically correct. What can we do? Sooooo true. There should be more togetherness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RahrahWitch 6,985 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 We all know brands adopt pride aesthetics for profit and I wish if they were going to use rainbows to sell things the least they could do is support an LGBT+ charity but honestly I think the visibility that brings probably helps some struggling people. As for Musk, He's a cringe edge lord who has no involvement with our community so jokes like this coming from him is a bit suspicious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOT 3,087 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I presume this guy is politically ambitious and sees himself eventually doing a Trump. Not sure what he's doing with that post, is he trying to appeal to conservatives and liberals at the same time ? I don't know. Not a good post anyway.

Crazy how he still has supporters I dont think he's a homophone. Maybe "Along" or "Alone" if you have a strong accent... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Vision 3,068 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 7 hours ago, Levine said: Even some gays on my tl said "it's that time of month where brands make their pics rainbow *rolleyes emoji*" and what is wrong with that? Better a fake support (who said it's fake then?) than a real hate. I'm going to block him as we speak right now because I hate him. Showing support is fine, but these corporations only tend to show support for exclusively one month of the year for monetary gain and that's not okay. It's profiting from the struggles of LGTBQ+ people under the guise of public support. If they want to be allies of the community, they can do that all year round and in much more tangible ways than adding a rainbow flag to their logo or releasing Pride themed merchandise that does nothing to help any marginalised people. It's so insincere. As soon as June comes out they paint themselves as allies by profiting from the rainbow flag, meanwhile the rest of the year many of these corporations are making donations to the Republican Party and anti-LGBTQ+ groups that are actively harmful to the community. The whole thing is extremely performative and is only for their own benefit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardlyaSaint 727 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 the way y’all VOLUNTEER to be SO offended at EVERYTHING. Y’all know good and damn well as well as Elon, that companies only pander to us because they want our money/investments this time of year. It’s like people that talk about “holiday cheer and Christmas spirit” in December while they commit horrible acts of inhumanity and cruelty all other 11 months of the year. I’m not even spending anymore time on this than I should. That’s on you guys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dojo 19,370 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 who in their right mind support a brand only because they adopt pride aesthetics? "ohh, look, now they have a rainbow avi, let's go and shop their products" now if they release a pride limited edition of something, like starbucks did, i understand but let's stop making a big deal if companies change their avi or share a post.
