Ok but is that voice GLADOS or Cave Johnson?
Congratulations, homosexual!

Definitely Cave Johnson. The tone is disregarding and corporate, GLaDOS would have been insulting and condescending.
qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 10 months ago
In my head it was definitely Cave.
WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
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?

RedFrank24@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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 10 months ago
Isn’t that’s company in Portal (video game)?
Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yes, a company that heavily satirizes American capitalism.
Frostbeard@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yes.
Nangijala@feddit.dk 10 months ago
Are you telling me that there are companies out there that actually care about the LGBT for real?
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Netflix don’t add subtitles just for deaf people.
If it makes them money, they care.
JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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 10 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.

I’ll do my own pandering thank you. With a collection of clear virtue signals, a rigorous purity filter and a bunch of fanatical moderators.
CatDogL0ver@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You never play Portal?

Most accurate depiction of corpo pride month attitude.

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

Shardikprime@lemmy.world 10 months ago
If it would make them money they’d do it in a blink of an eye
The fact they are not is telling but not for the reasons receive here thinks

Some conservative is gonna see this and start a “Boycot Aperture Science” campaign.

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.
Kickforce@lemmy.wtf 10 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.
I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 10 months ago
The Safeway here puts up Xmas decorations in September, so does math we’re going to have to start in February…
Tonuka@feddit.org 10 months ago
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
CatDogL0ver@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Jesus, it is the company in Portal.
OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 10 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.
Dagwood222@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Great analogy.
hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
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.
Skullgrid@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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?
Initiateofthevoid@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
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.
WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
I prefer the robotic announcer with the fake uplifting tone
l_b_i@pawb.social 10 months ago
I think I’ve seen this with audio for both.
JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
I think specifically Portal 1 GLADOS.
Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 10 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.
cfi@lemmy.world 10 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
aeronmelon@lemmy.world 10 months ago
JK Simmons would do this press release proud.
lime@feddit.nu 10 months ago
emergency testing initiative voice from the start of P2, just for the maximum level of unpersonness
BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
It was Cave Johnson for me.
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
For Cave, the signoff would be:
I’m Cave Johnson, don’t @ me.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 months ago
I just read it twice, with both, in my head.
Cave Johnson was funnier.
Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.
