    I wish it were because being any flavor of LGBTQ+ were as mundane and accepted as being left handed and didn’t warrant a month of special attention… but I know its because most of these companies didn’t really care to begin with, and that rainbow capitalism was just overwhelmed by a hostile and violent political movement in the US.

    What’s a little extra disappointing, is how much of that seems to have only existed for the sake of the US market to begin with. I would have preferred to see us isolated like a theocratic regime and only have the marketing changed for us. At least then I could say its because they see us sliding backwards and are reacting to that. Instead it becomes more obvious it was purely a 100% commercial.

    I kinda always knew it… but its still sad to have it confirmed.
