corporate pride

[hitchhiker]

And I watched as all this happened and companies started back-burnering Pride support and events and sports teams cancelled their Pride night and all the rest, all these internet folk ostensibly on the side of the rainbow angels bellowing from every corner: rainbow capitalism, pinkwashing, fake allies, we don’t need corporate Pride!

Now, I’m not saying we all need to rush out and drink a barrel of Bud Light each for the cause because, I mean, I want rights and all but there’s lines even I won’t cross for the revolution, but saints and ministers of Milk defend us are you actually kidding me we desperately need corporate Pride and we cannot afford to lose it now.

I like this a lot.

Purity cultures, right, left, and needlework have a lot to answer for.

Also, I think a lot of what makes them so satisfying for people is
(1) the appeal to laziness
(2) the role of Discerning Judge

yeah, it is a very purity-culture thing!
