No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

tbqh I kinda like seeing LGBT iconography in public so I'll take the pandering instead of joining conservatives in dunking on it in these cases
I'll concede that I wish plenty of those companies would do more, though.
It pisses conservatives off the more LGBTQ is seen supported in public, so that's a bonus.
It's not my goal to piss people off, but seeing people that hate me for basically no reason get angry because they're reminded of my existence gives me schadenfreude
i don't have a problem with the branding honestly.
Companies doing it is rather funny, and doesn't ultimately do much. But the fact that they're doing it is still rather interesting.
