Best of Corperate Pride Month Items - Gotta get me some of that demographic money, right boys?

[Frog-Chomping Bat]

Those of you cursed enough to have to use Teams will know you can get custom backgrounds.

Here are some pride ones you can get officially from MS. They are some of the most garish, offensive to look at designs I’ve seen in a long time.

Imagine going to a meeting with any of these.

A couple of years ago, my company’s marketing unit went all-in on THIS is our brand, THESE are our only approved branding colors, THIS is the one slide background with appropriate branding that everyone will use, etc. At the time I thought it was restrictive; now I’m wondering if they were actually trying to head off crap like this.

For the other makeup autists on this board who noted Colourpop isn’t doing the rainbow bullshit, neither are e.l.f., Wet ‘n Wild, or NYX, at least according to their splash pages (e.l.f. has a single instagram pride story, and NYX calls itself “proud artistry for all” with no rainbows). Hmmm, it’s almost like big conglomerates or spendthrift major corporations are the only ones willing to rush headlong into mindless consumerism with this..

Holy shit that flag is even worse when reduced to a square.. They still have the old flag for sale on the Atmoic Shop

Spoiler: More FreeSO Cringe

I haven't touched FreeSO in so long, I took a look at their discord and it's even worse there.. Complete with pride flag gif Discord server icon.

A pride flag icon in a game where lore wise the entire movement would have probably never happened, especially not to that end. If anything shows how little Bethesda actually gives a shit anymore, it's this.

I can only imagine how bad their Discord server is. Not even once, friends. And that one is probably pretty tame when you consider that almost every popular household also has a private Discord and some popular users have their own as well. And a lot of these people are Second Lifers. What number do you call to report degenerates and pedophiles?

The switcheroo they pulled is what really pisses me off, I don't care if people are gay, but they sold the public on one thing only to turn around and do the exact opposite once they felt like they had the power to do so, that's shitty, backstabbing behavior.

All they ever used to talk about was "tolerance" ie tolerating something doesn't mean you like it or condone it, it just means you're willing to mind your own business, but that's not what they expect from people anymore, you have to enthusiastically condone something or it's fuck you.

Slapping every single thing in rainbow colors for an entire fucking month is a sickening abuse of power and of people's trust, like I said if people only knew what it was all going to lead to none of this shit would have been able to gain the ground it has and that inherent dishonesty is the big issue.

I don't have an inherent dislike of LGBT as is, but I do dislike just how much it's shoved down our throats these days, an entire month is simply not necessary.

If the theories/rumors are true there were a lot of gay Nazis we never fully heard about because they were Nazis and Nazis didn't like gay people that werent' Nazis or gay Nazis.

I wouldn't know, the only reason I'm in their Discord Server is because they can't be bothered to put update notices on their actual site/client.

Arm's length.

Remember when FO76 players formed parties dedicated to targeting premium players? Doubt anyone cares about 76 anymore, but I'm hoping to hear about people hunting players with pride flags.

This will be my last post in this thread for 2021 (I hope it hasn't been posted).

White pride. Or any other pride.

It really does seem sometimes like fascism is the only thing that's going to stop the things ruining our society.

The left sure as shit aren't getting any more moderate and they sure as shit aren't listening to reason, which makes it seem like fighting fire with fire might be our only choice.

I don't say any of that lightly, I don't like the idea anymore than your average leftist does, I wish it was a nicer world we lived in, but it really does seem like it's been revealed that it's simply not a nice world.

Just got an ounce in the mail yesterday and it came with this sticker

Where should I stick it?

Every now and then I sometimes feel like we fought on the wrong side in WW2 and it's an awful feeling.

They want to push you to these extremes because it makes you the extremist and someone they can pin everything on from then on. All we had to do was gatekeep our organizations, our hobbies, friend groups, etc. But we didn't do that thus these people invaded every level of most institutions, most importantly those with the power to make change in countries.

It really is awful, you go your whole life being told a certain group were the most evil people in human history only to later go "were they really that bad?"

I think it really is a case of the Nazis were not as bad as we're lead to believe, it's more a case of "well intentions" gone awry than the mustache twirling villains they're portrayed as today, but of course that makes sense, of course the greatest of evils are going to be perpetuated by those who think they're doing good, the same can be said about the Soviets and today's SJWs.

So that's what the Nazis and SJWs actually have in common, they've both so gripped by the mania of their own righteousness that they refuse to listen to any criticism and that's how people wind up in death camps for the "greater good", maybe the answer is getting off that merry go round and making people understand that kind of mania in general and how to avoid it.

But then you also think of the fact that almost every single American who fought in WW2, if they took one look at modern America, would probably in an instant go "yeah, no, I'm with the other guys" and you also think of the fact that it really does seem like the only thing that's going to change an SJW's mind is a bullet (in Minecraft), you keep anting to hope for some sort of rationality in every human mind but it just seems like humans simply aren't that rational a species.

They want to push you to these extremes because it makes you the extremist and someone they can pin everything on from then on. All we had to do was gatekeep our organizations, our hobbies, friend groups, etc. But we didn't do that thus these people invaded every level of most institutions, most importantly those with the power to make change in countries.

I guess what I should have said is nationalism, the only way the US can survive is if we all take the stance that anyone who disrespects the flag needs to get the fuck out of the country, there has to be something to bridge the gap between the "diverse" groups that make up America, otherwise we get what we have now which is endless splintering.

That's the only way any society is going to survive is if everyone is on a fundamental way on the same team.

At any rate, it's just clear that there's more value to right wing thought than this old former liberal thought, the hippy dippy, Mr Rogers dream is fucking dead, people simply aren't that nice and aren't going to ever be that nice to each other, it sounds good, but it's 100% out of lockstep with human nature.

Regretting not gatekeeping is the biggest thing for me. I consider myself more socially left than a lot of the Farms, but all these little groups have made all these little clubs and if you're a passing straight white male? Fuck you. Maybe it's just lonely on top of the pyramid but I'm sick of people telling me I have it all because of the circumstances of my birth when what I really want is a place where I can be with people like me without someone screeching about lack of representation.

I was asked that same donation amount when I went grocery shopping. And why is it 41 cents, specifically?
