What separates me is the outrage. I don't give a shite outside a small amount of satisfaction that all these corporations' market research are showing the same thing: conservatives have lost the culture war. They see it and are betting on it, which just means they are confident in it. NASCAR isn't ran by a bunch of BLM supporting gays yet they slapped a rainbow on their logo. Pretty telling right there.

NASCAR has been on a downward trajectory for 15 years now. I think they're desperate to try and market to a new fanbase that is never going to come.

This isn't market driven. This is activism disguised as marketing. A vocal extreme minority said they want this, not the average customer.

A huge part of the problem with chasing a new fan base is doing so in a way that increases the decline of your existing fan base.
Look at the NBA. Chasing the Chinese fans causes them a huge amount of problems the last two years.

Again, you're lying to yourself and have absolutely nothing to support this claim. You just want it to be true, but that's it.
If I have to bet on who is right and on one hand is a bunch of huge corporations with the best market research money can buy, whose only decision making motivator is increased profits, and on the other hand, is a bunch of uneducated losers who have absolutely no experience running a huge corporation and are in the middle of a temper tantrum, I'm putting my money on the corporations.

I'll put a question on the table.
How do they (either party) reconcile the competing notion of beauty, empowerment and objectification?

Tell yourself that. A lot of people in positions within these organizations don’t have a track record of anything and are trying to convince management that the target markets they want will love this thing.
Or they are trying to convince management that NOT virtue signaling like this will open them up to attacks by SJWs and cost them a ton of money.

They also read the room and say, "well coke and target are in, as well as our 3 biggest competitors, so we better not get left behind"

Where the frick have you been for the last 5 years? Have you heard of the term "Get woke, go broke"? There's a reason that phrase was coined.

It's a combination of hiring left wing people (usually under the guise of diversity) and research based almost completely on social media trends - which in no way reflect reality.
I can't believe I have to explain something so simple to an adult. Goddamn, man. Join us in the real world, Peter Pan.

Selling lingerie by using intelligent models sounds like a brilliant idea
Good luck with that

Tell you what then, you should bookmark this thread so that you can come back in a couple of years and show us all how right you were.

The nice thing about corporatism is you have nowhere to go. The playing field is bought, the market is gamed. That can't last and you can see it slipping. Once China finished stealing the IP of all the idiot corps drooling over their population numbers and slave labor, I feel fairly certain they won't be marketing lingerie to the world with ugly lesbians and overweight models.

I like how in your "real world", some random dude like yourself knows more about the conditions these incredibly huge corporations arr acting under then the incredibly experienced people they are paying to come to these conclusions.
The market has shifted. Things like inclusion and diversity are what the population wants because our society has progresses and changes for the better.
The writing is on the wall, and its been written by the invincible hand and market forces that you guys love to screech about. Its hilarious.

Yes, it's called Marxist fear. You realize 80% of the population disagrees with this garbage right? Never mind, sounds like you have no idea or don't care.
