Yeah, but money? If the political environment in America changes, companies adapt. Supporting minorities has always been nothing but a PR move for them, so dropping the act shouldn’t be a problem for the soulless scumbags.

While I don’t disagree, I’d say gamer culture is pretty misogynistic and unwelcoming for minorities. So, it’s more of a risk than in other communities.calcukated risk, I’m sure.

I mean, so did Target. But you can’t expect these companies to resist when we’re barely in the streets. From their perspective the average person doesn’t care and the government is going to fuck them with a jackfruit. So they’re going to sign with the government until we show that we give a fuck, and boycotting products is barely going to move the needle.

My imagination works just fine. As does my memory of every single mass political movement in my lifetime being cowed, suppressed, and ultimately co-opted into a completely toothless mockery of itself.
