PRIDE MONTH BLOG

okay so happy pride month !!

we aint doing any type of promotion for it though. not because we're anti-LBGT (liek ofc we arent, we never felt the need to make a statement about this coz we thought it was obvious) but because its taken decades of real political activism for people with non-heteronormative gender identities and sexual orientations to get to a point where they can openly function in society without being legally discriminated against and we dont feel that its morally okay to profiteer by virtue signalmaxxing an actual political struggle.

^ liek this shit lol, yes we're an arms company and our weapons kill tons of ppl every year but its ok guise bcuz we support PRIDE. liek the corporatisation of this movement was never a good idea and IMO its a huge reason why we're starting to see so much conservative backlash in the last year or so. 

sure, in context we totally get how 'diversity quotas' became a thing, as a sort of way to make sure ppl from marginalised groups would still get represented when individual bosses/hiring staff may still feel bigoted or xenophobic, but it ultimately corrupted the original goal of anti-discrimination. like if we hire say, an artist, were doing it because we think they have fantastic skills and if they just happen to be gay, trans, or whatever, kewl, we dont judge. its the right person for the right job regardless of their gender/sexuality, not because of their gender/sexuality. thats the whole point. 

but now when i say im fine with trans ppl i sometimes get asked some stupid ass question liek 'oH sO YoU tHiNk BaBiEs ShOuLd Be FoRcIbLy GiVeN hRt??' liek bruh wtf are you on about? where do ppl get this shit from? liek no, i just think trans ppl should be able to go about their day without being denied employment or assaulted because of their gender identity ITS NOT THAT FKN COMPLICATED.

the main takeaway here is that;

A) crazy ppl who post 2000 tweets a day arent a good indicator of what the general public actually thinks

and

B) boomer CEOs dont understand how the internet works

now we're never covering this topic again because this anti-political post is, ironically, way too political
