No reason to be dramatic, they’ve had many pride collections and campaigns with drag queens. If anything they’re just weak

[Ladle Ghoulash 16,619]

Embarrassing for them that they'd let those fascist pissants have that much sway over them.

That’s the point – they’re doing it for marketing but when it actually comes to making a statement and standing behind the community you’re profiting off, they’re turning their backs

Why couldn't they consider that earlier?

So LGBT rights are just a marketing gimmick to them? Neato

Me trying to understand what you mean because in Belgium we pronounce ‘Nike’ like ‘Yikes’ hahaha

We need drag queens more than ever right now.

That's sad. I love crocs lol very comfortable, very universal, sad they decided to pull out LAST MINUTE.

Crocs are ugly, I don't get why they're so popular again.  

They're not wrong though. The company I work for spends way too long on trying not to offend people in our marketing and comms, both left and right wing customers. 

I wish we/the GP could get a thicker skin instead of being offended by a change in wind direction.
