Harmony; 27; they/them; intergender nonbinary disaster bi; spoonie/Mentally ill/etc. Hi! Here you'll find lots of reblogs of, Steven Universe, disney, disney parks, gay/nb stuff, discourse, etc. let me know if you need anything tagged!
This is why “rainbow capitalism” is fine with me. Not just because I grew up and lived in a time period when this kind of gesture would have been unthinkable; not just because it shows that companies (whose attention is always on their bottom line) see the way society is moving and choose which is the more bigger and profitable side to be on (although both of those are also good reasons!)
Because I want bigots to be uncomfortable. I want them to be reminded daily that they are losing. I want them to not be able to buy beer or go to a movie or eat a burger without it being RUBBED IN THEIR FACE that they are sad and pathetic and no one likes them. I want them to have things they love gradually stripped away from them until they are reduced to only buying weird bible-themed chips that taste like sawdust. I want them to realize how much they are losing out on by holding on to their bigoted beliefs, and how much it costs them, and have that knowledge eat them up inside while they drink their off-brand Discount Joe’s Root Beer because they haven’t heard anything about Discount Joe supporting The Gays yet, so it’s fine.
This this this.
Rainbow capitalism does not mean that international mega-corporations are on our side. They very much are not; they are on the money side.
It’s not that they have decided “oh hey, the queers have money.” The queers have always had money. The communities of outcasts and freaks and oppressed minorities have always been willing to focus their resources on their active supporters.
But until recently, “put queer labeling on your products” has meant “the mainstream will avoid you.” Sure, there were queer dollars to chase, but it wasn’t worth losing straight dollars to get them.
They didn’t dip their labels in the rainbow glitter pool until it was profitable. Until most of their customers - who are most definitely straight and oblivious to queer issues entirely - would not care if they have a month of rainbow-themed merchandise. Would either ignore it or find it entertaining.
Which means: Every MAGAt you see yelling about “never gonna buy this crap again! Gonna boycott everything with a rainbow on the label! Gonna boycott every company I can find that has a DEI tab on their website!”… is part of the loud-but-insignificant minority.
If Budweiser and Coors thought that most Republicans would actually stop drinking them, they wouldn’t have rainbows on the bottles.
You can’t trust beer companies to be allies. They are absolutely not our friends, not our supporters. But you can damn well trust their marketing departments to go after profits.
If you see a lesbian making a suggestive/flirty post, maybe a lesbian posting a selfie and then see that they have added “men dni”, and get mad about it you should probably like. Touch some grass actually. Calling lesbians who add men DNI to a post terfs simply bc they don’t want to get comments from men also is weird as fuck btw I hope y'all know that
“men DNI means you hate every single man in existence and also you are othering us and also you’re a a terf” i am side eyeing you SO hard. The majority of men DNI blogs are nsfw lesbian blogs who do not want men commenting on their shit and being creepy. Those blogs have nothing to do with radical feminism or excluding trans people. Just admit you hate it when not everything is about you.
Are there terfs who use it, yes. That’s no reason or justification to attack random lesbians though
The images we get of Joe in Love From the Other Side are so important. Because even though (and because, I think) he isn’t literally physically present in the video, he’s so present and integral to everything we see.
We get to see a silhouette of his actual body with the whole group as we get an explanation for why he’s being represented by a gigantic raccoon, because they knew they couldn’t and didn’t want to just not include him without any explanation at all.
We see that not only is he part of the group effort in pulling the rope to topple the tower, they couldn’t have done that without him joining them and being part of the group. (thank you to @fob8 for pointing this out to me!)
And we see him helping them raise the flag up. The band’s flag. As celebratory fireworks go off around them. He’s there with them celebrating this new era even when he can’t be on stage or on a set with them. He’s there.
And he’s so, so important.
He’s important to the band, he’s important to his friends. And he’s never going to be left behind.
