    I saw this or something similar a few years ago.

    It’s outdated today. Aperture is a defense contractor that wouldn’t risk upsetting trump.

    Ok but is that voice GLADOS or Cave Johnson?

    source
    • NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Definitely Cave Johnson. The tone is disregarding and corporate, GLaDOS would have been insulting and condescending.

      source
    • qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      In my head it was definitely Cave.

      in my head it was the other robotic voice. I think it was used in both portal 1 and 2

    No one plays Portal here? No gamers?

    Yeah and now that certain companies run the risk of getting flattened into the ground by Trump, only those companies that actually gave a shit continue to support Pride.

    • CatDogL0ver@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Isn’t that’s company in Portal (video game)?

      source
      • Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yes, a company that heavily satirizes American capitalism.

        Yes.

      Are you telling me that there are companies out there that actually care about the LGBT for real?

        Netflix don’t add subtitles just for deaf people.

        If it makes them money, they care.

        There are at least a few companies owned by people in that community.

        Any of the multinational conglomerates, though? Not a chance.

    • Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      only those companies that actually gave a shit continue to support Pride.

      By which you mean only those companies that believe appearing to give a shit will be more profitable than sucking Trump’s dick continue to support Pride.

    Uh-oh… Any news yet about the Tromp government actively suppressing Pride celebrations and events?

      They were trying to interfere with Capital Pride, but gave up after pushback.

    Is it just people having unrealistic expectations of what a corporation can do?

    I mean what is a corporation, its a group created by investors, who directs the company at an arms length via management, who are directed to optimize shareholder profits. How can such an entity have empathy, its like expecting a computer algorithm to have empathy.

    Same thing happens at Christmas.

    source
    • Kickforce@lemmy.wtf ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Much more pronounced too. It goes way beyond a few posters and flags. Xmas songs, trees,food etc. It’s on everything all over the place. Pride needs to really up its game to get up to Xmas level.

      source
      • I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        The Safeway here puts up Xmas decorations in September, so does math we’re going to have to start in February…

    Corporations supporting pride are canaries in the coalmine. When they stop chirping, you know something is wrong.

    Besides, I don’t like cynicism. Yeah, most big corps don’t give a fuck. And this is what this meme is about. But regular gays work everywhere, and support does make a difference in those places

      Jesus, it is the company in Portal.

    • OrteilGenou@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I hear you. My reaction to the banks/other massive conglomerates draping colors for whichever things will retain the most customers that day/week/month is the same as the people who wait until the Super Bowl and then show up at work decked out in Eagles gear. It’s sad that it has to be tied to something so fake but the support isn’t exactly going to be turned down.

      Great analogy.

      Exactly. I fucking hate rainbow capitalism, but it’s disturbing to see how in the last few years I’ve seen less and less rainbow logos and flags.

        Well, if the homophobes hate it, and the LGBT people constantly post “I SEE THROUGH YOUR BULLSHIT” why should they bother anymore?

      Absolutely - rainbow capitalism can be a problem, and actively attacking that rainbow capitalism from a place of bigotry-in-power can be a far bigger problem. Visibility and representation matter.

    I’m not sure whether I want this to be read by GLADOS or Cave Johnson. Both would deliver the hell out of these lines.

      I prefer the robotic announcer with the fake uplifting tone

      I think I’ve seen this with audio for both.

      I think specifically Portal 1 GLADOS.

      source
    • Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Initially I thought Cave Johnson, but the enumeration in the first paragraph seems more of a GLaDOS thing. The rest could go either way.

      source
      • cfi@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        The enumerations would work if he’s reading it as a press release, probably uncomfortably, and with a few asides to an off-screen character about how he doesn’t like it

        For Cave, the signoff would be:

        I’m Cave Johnson, don’t @ me.

        I just read it twice, with both, in my head.

        Cave Johnson was funnier.
