Quite the opposite for me. I'm perfectly fine with groups of people having "_____ month/week/day" to better market their cause.

What is hilarious are the companies that go full-sprint to virtue signal their support to the respective cause. Then completely abandon the cause once the specified time period is over.

This goes beyond special-interest groups. You see it from companies/orgs when the local sports team is doing exceptionally well, too. If they'd quit pandering, focus on providing a quality product/service, and treat everyone fairly...they wouldn't need to participate in these marketing shenanigans. If the company has a cause they are particularly passionate about, then support that cause all year...not just when convenient/notable.

Yes, false pandering bothers me. Especially when it is foisted on every aspect of society and if you just don’t give a shite you get attacked


You were never attacked, pussy.

You painted that rainbow with awful broad strokes... tell us how you've been attacked or even inconvenienced.

They were having Drag Queen Story Hour when I went to the library to surf porn on my lunch break.

You guys don't understand. In 2019, "attacked" is now synonymous with "someone on the internet disagreed with me."

I’m speaking figuratively. Companies who didn’t comply sufficiently were definitely called out by the SJWs.

I think gay men should be able to do what they like, but any rational person can see that the pandering is a bit ridiculous.



Holy shite...it was just a funny meme.

So you were figuratively attacked in the sense that nothing actually happened to you and the "attacks" were whiny tweets directed at multi-billion dollar corporations? Got it.

I've seen way more people crying about Pride Month than actual Pride Month advertising/pandering

Maybe I just spend too much time on the OT

Now you're false denying your irritation at supposed false pandering.


Or crawfish signaling
