Someone at TOMS Shoes isn't a fan of the T (the pastel stripe on the sandals are closest to the bisexual flag, all the transgender symbols have a white slash through them seperating the female symbol from the other two)

Yes, but it might be of interest why they decided that white stripe needed to go exactly right there. They could have visually separated the evil male symbol or the uwu so speshul NB symbol, but they chose to literally draw the line between women and everyone else. Maybe it's nothing, maybe it's not.

Neopets is already at it - since becoming 'inclusive' last year they hired a gender special (theybie girl) to communicate with the player base who calls herself 'Mx. Macabre', and they're now taking suggestions for genderspecial items for the site.
I always thought my Neopet could use a dragon dildo to play with. But hey, let's just make every single NPC trans or a huge raging faggot.
Reminder that the player base of Neopets is like 80% women and the rest is gay men and autists, so this is all 100% performative woke virtue signalling.

Target has their pride shit out already and some of the transflags omit the white stripe if the background of the object is also white. It seemed like an odd choice to keep in the white stripe when there's no outline and the background is white...
Speaking of Target, now your dog can destroy and rip apart a "Transgender Tiger". Did they think this one through?

Maybe they're based? Because they just change stuff, if it gets them backlash. Corporations don't care about you as a person.

I used to shop there in a big city, so I could see woke stuff every time I went there.
(books on identity politics prominently displayed, almost no whites in TV ads, etc.)
Not a big surprise if they got even more woke since then.

I have a dog but he is a freak of nature that doesn’t like toys. Else I’d get it.

I was wondering why I got a reaction again. Is pride month gonna start turning into Halloween and Christmas as something corporations celebrate earlier and earlier so they can get their gay™ money in faster?

Eventually it could be an endless Christmas, Halloween, and "pride time" in major retail.

I'm already tired as fuck of it. The gay community as a whole has a loooooong way to go though before they'll be back in the realm of normalcy with the sense to gatekeep. Another killer virus will hit gays before they see sense, mark my words. Gay culture has married itself to degeneracy, trying to normalise every goddamn taboo that actually serve a function in society as a taboo. Not surprising that pedos have seen their clear way into the mainstream...

Riot Games, in the usual fashion, will be adding Pride month-themed emotes and icons to League of Legends:
Note that last year, the Pride-themed items were released in Turkey, and certain SEA countries, as "Spring Color Festival" items. I don't know if these icons will be censored for those regions.
And we'll see if DOTA 2 and CSGO go this route of adding Pride items too or not, given that the regions where those games are popular, i.e. Russia/CIS and SEA, are not LGBT-friendly.

Companies were getting shit for only caring one month a year, so I've gotten a few emails about how "pride isn't just a month!111" My aforementioned TOMS example is one such company that make it clear they care about Pride more months than just June.
WTF, are Graves and TF actually gay?!?!?!?! Even the Diana/Leona thing felt really forced, of course, they did that after the designer who created both left Riot (since Leona is based on his wife and I don't think he's into that.) It seems they've retconned Taliyah to be trans and Kindred into being a non-binary (okay, it actually makes sense for two characters to use they/them pronouns because it's plural....doesn't make them genderless. Wolf is a dude, Lamb is a girl). Shocked that there's no asexual retcon, but lack of sex doesn't sell.
Once again, make new characters if you want "representation". Retconning is stupid.

btw the first gay/faggy character they ever released is still getting shafted because of course he is. also tf had his own love interest but fuck that we need to appeal to the 16 year old white women
