Consecutive punches in the gut.
Nobody punched nobody in the gut. In fact, there's a desperate deficit in gut punching in the world today, which you'd think was a good thing but now we've discovered a large portion of the population needs gut punches as part of normal human development into functioning adults.
This stupid "words are violence" mindset was one of the few things I saw as a BIG problem a mile away when it first started.
 
Apologies for the double post but AP had a story on how Pride marketing and whatnot was "subdued" this year


More recent articles on the same subject. These two had not been archived so I hope they hadn't been posted here yet:

A year after marketing turmoil, a more subdued Pride Month

1.png

At the halfway mark, marketing around Pride Month is noticeably subdued compared to last year, when protests marred many celebrations, including the campaigns at brands and retailers.

This is especially true at Target, where the exuberant merchandising and signage of 2023 have been replaced by, in some stores, no mention of Pride at all. Pride-related items at the mass retailer are relegated to its website and only select stores. Target’s online Pride page is fairly minimal compared to J.C. Penney’s, which features several colorful banners with information about special merchandise, supported projects and charities, some of their own LGBTQ+ employees, and portraits of designers and brand founders who are partnering with them for Pride Month.

It isn’t just Target scaling back. Barbara Kahn, a professor of marketing at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, has noticed a marked decrease in brand messaging around Pride this year. That doesn’t necessarily mean a sea change in retailers’ support, she said.

“I think retailers are doing what they did before,” she said by phone. “They’re supporting the community, but they’re not blaring their horns about it. They’re not really taking credit for it. They’re not pushing it.”

This indeed has been Target’s emphasis this year. For this story, a company spokesperson reiterated a statement from last month, saying that “ Target is committed to supporting the LGBTQIA+ community during Pride Month and year-round.”

“Most importantly, we want to create a welcoming and supportive environment for our LGBTQIA+ team members, which reflects our culture of care for the over 400,000 people who work at Target,” the statement continued. “We have long offered benefits and resources for the community, and we will have internal programs to celebrate Pride 2024.”

The lower-key marketing likely springs from last year’s severe pushback. As anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric flared on social media, agitators singled out Target, which had prominent displays at many stores and merchandise designed for transgender people. Citing safety concerns, the company scaled back Pride displays at some locations, which in turn prompted another backlash, this time from LGBTQ+ advocacy groups and allies.

Last year, some within and outside the community worried that the retreat signaled deterioration in support for LGBTQ+ people and causes. Groups like the Human Rights Campaign, GLSEN and others issued statements and spoke to the media to urge Target to rethink its pullback. This year, many of those same groups haven’t responded to requests or declined to comment for this story.

Everyone is likely taking a pause, Kahn said.


Opinion: A quiet Pride Month is bad for business and bad for society

The culture wars continue to drive brands away from their DE&I commitments, with the latest proof playing out in a very quiet Pride Month.

In recent years, Pride Month has become an easy way for brands to signal their support to the burgeoning queer community by acknowledging their identities publicly. Pride-themed packaging, rainbow-hued product lines and presences at annual Pride parades not only demonstrated public community support, but were also profitable investments — given the LGBTQ+ community has nearly $1.4 trillion in spending power in the U.S.

But since the Bud Light fiasco of 2023, when a vocal conservative minority sparked a revolt against the brand for a relatively small partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, Pride Month, like much in this country, has gone from straightforward and celebratory to complex and polarizing.

This year, reports mark an eerily quiet start to the month associated with rainbows, sparkles and noisy brand support. Companies have scaled back on Pride investments, such as Target, which canceled its Pride collection in the states that need visibility the most. As a result, many agencies report seeing a decrease in Pride Month projects overall this year.

A lot has changed since 2020, when corporations broadly viewed taking clear, outspoken positions on social and ESG issues as good business. DE&I backlash has risen in response to growing visibility and equity, and these initiatives and commitments have suffered as those hired to oversee them were disproportionately laid off shortly after being hired en masse early in the pandemic.

The queer community sits at the center of anti-woke ire, with more than 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills introduced in the U.S. last year — a record high. Issues like book banning and gender-affirming care have politicized the identities of an entire population.

Suddenly, the corporations that didn’t think twice about pledging solidarity with LGBTQ+ people and turning their social media icons rainbow in June are increasingly afraid of being called out loudly and viciously by a divided nation. According to a Gravity Research report covered in USA Today, which surveyed 200 communications and corporate affairs executives, 18% said the threat of conservative backlash led them to adjust Pride plans this year.

LGBTQ+ backlash is just one issue brands have to navigate, as they look to avoid minefields around the war in Gaza, abortion, immigration and an election that no one wants to mention, let alone align themselves with. In the era of brand apologies, the narrative has quickly shifted from “speak out and stand your ground” to “stay neutral — or stay out of it.”

However, this doesn’t necessarily align with what consumers want. According to a study by SurveyMonkey of 4,000 U.S. adults, around half of which identify as LGBTQ+, 72% said brands should not reduce their 2024 Pride activities to avoid backlash and social media criticism.
As for the community itself, 32% of LGBTQ+ individuals surveyed said they have boycotted or stopped supporting a company due to its lack of acknowledgment of Pride, a clear signal that this burgeoning cohort shops with companies aligned with their values — and avoids those that aren’t.
Brands are receding from LGBTQ+ support at a time when the community is rapidly growing; nearly 30% of Gen Z adults identify as queer, substantially higher than previous estimates. For all of the talk about wanting to connect with Gen Z, this seems out of step for many marketers.

Brands now live in a world where they’re cautiously looking over their shoulders at every display of solidarity, waiting for backlash that comes rapidly and seemingly without warning. This is putting marginalized communities — the very same ones that are growing exponentially in the U.S. — back in the shadows. It’s bad for business, and it’s bad for society.

Like many decisions companies make these days, avoiding Pride is a symptom of short-term thinking that keeps companies from achieving progress — and will alienate and put off a changing population from their brands for years to come.

After last year’s Pride backlash, many brands back away from trans-inclusive campaigns

2.png

Most companies say they’re not fazed by Bud Light’s misfortune. In a survey of 200 corporate marketing execs by Gravity Research, 78% reported making no changes to their Pride Month marketing plans after 2023’s backlash. Eighteen percent said the “threat of conservative consumer backlash” prompted them to change course. Nine percent reported the same regarding progressive consumers.

Still, expert observers like Bennett, who’s been watching the LGBTQ marketing scene since the 1990s, see companies pulling back and proceeding with caution.

“Whether you want to call it the Bud Light or the Target effect,” Bennett said, referencing the 2023 backlash over Target’s trans-inclusive Pride merchandise. “Something has happened.”

Which is not to say corporate America is abandoning LGBTQ consumers. Sure, brands may value diversity and want to be inclusive. But marketing to the LGBTQ community is also about making money.

“It’s a market that’s a trillion-dollar consumer base,” said Joanna Schwartz, a professor of marketing at Georgia College & State University who specializes in LGBTQ marketing.

That consumer base is growing as more young Americans identify as LGBTQ. Schwartz said that’s part of why we’ve seen a solid decade of loud corporate support during Pride Month.

Putting a rainbow on something or donating some money to an LGBT-focused charity has been a way for companies to get an easy win,” Schwartz said.

That is, until transphobia became commonplace in right-wing politics. This Pride Month, Schwartz said, brands are looking to court LGBTQ-consumers and their allies without drawing homophobic and especially transphobic ire that could hurt their bottom lines.

“It is a fine line to walk,” Schwartz said. “You can create that impact around your brand without doing anything that others might perceive as risque or daring.”

Schwartz said not all companies are retreating. For example, Apple is holding steady with a trans-inclusive campaign. But after last year’s backlash, many companies appear to be avoiding trigger points for right-wing outrage.

After suffering a sales hit tied to its 2023 campaign, Target won’t sell Pride apparel for kids in 2024 and will stock only some of its stores with Pride displays and merchandise.

The North Face defended its 2022 and 2023 Pride partnerships with drag queen Pattie Gonia, but hasn’t resumed it. The outdoor brand’s 2024 Pride social media post offers nondescript support.

Skittles has retreated from 2023’s inclusive candy package designs that featured messages like “Black Trans Lives Matter” in favor of a standard, six-color rainbow promotion.

And for the first time since 2020, Calvin Klein’s Pride campaign won’t be headlined by any out trans or nonbinary models. Actors Jeremy Pope and Cara Delevingne front the collection.

None of the companies above responded to interview requests from Marketplace.

Pope and Delevingne “are both queer if you happen to know that,” said TJ Billard, who studies media and transgender politics at Northwestern University. But to the casual viewer, Billard said, the ad might not even come across as supporting Pride.

After a few years of companies hoping to stand out with progressive campaigns, Billard said mass Pride marketing has become quieter, more generic and less political. Meanwhile, algorithms and influencer promotions enable brands to save the edgier stuff for a more targeted audience.

“Whether that’s TikTok or Instagram or whatever, queer people are going to see queer-supportive messages from these companies. It’s everyone else who’s not going to,” Billard said.

They said it’s “concerning” to see companies backing away in the face of anti-LGBTQ sentiment while a wave of conservative legislation seeks to block transgender Americans from accessing health care, public accommodations and legal recognition.

“It’s upsetting to an additional degree because it makes what was already a financial transaction-centered relationship [between corporations and] the queer community into something even more extractive,” Billard said.

Are brands alienating LGBTQ consumers? “Probably,” they said. But many seem to have made a decision: In this political climate, pushing back against homophobia, and especially transphobia, comes at too high a cost.
 
She's 'two spirit', because her great-grandmother was totally a Cherokee princess, you guys.
I wonder which part of Cherokee tradition involves getting your tits cut off?
Almost like this "two spirit" shit was started in 1990s, has nothing to do with actual Native culture, involved hwhite gay activists during its creation (one of which was a pederast) and is really about gay Indians wanting to feel more special than either gays or Indians.
 
Every single day, something new from the troon universe pushes me further and further towards old-skool feminist thinking like 'men believe they are sexually entitled and the patriarchy sustains this'.

"Is consent really justified here". Yes, you unimaginable, unconscionable, uncunnilinguable entitled male freak, your boyfriend's consent matters and if he doesn't want to put his face in your frankenstein pseudo-cooze you have no case to try to make him. You should be eternally grateful he's fucking you and not even with a rented dick.

The old patriarchy has been marginalized, but troons are the new patriarchy? :lit:

It's not like he can orgasm anymore anyway so what would be the point?
Simple answer: It's a power game.
 
Let's say the mother has a heart attack or a stroke, it is very reasonable for a next of kin to be notified and ask for a DNR, meanwhile another nurse has just brought the patient back to life with a mere shock and an adrenaline injection. They're now in a situation where the chances of future survival have gone down because the family doesn't give a shit, not that there is any valid medical reason to live a shorter life than the mothers' peers.
Heart attack != cardiac arrest; someone can be inpatient with a heart attack or stroke and never have needed CPR, in the ambulance or the hospital. Code status is a question for every patient (in the US) because you have to ask preferences like that before, not after, someone's heart has stopped. If someone isn't decisional, either due to underlying conditions like dementia or due to their current acute condition, that's when you ask the next of kin... but as they age, most elderly patients with regular medical care have filed a POLST/MOLST guiding that decision.

Your argument against DNR orders seems to hinge on two incorrect assumptions: that DNR means "do not treat," and that resuscitation is like respawn, some kind of switch that the staff is too lazy to hit. Even a witnessed arrest in a hospital with immediate ACLS doesn't mean the patient is eventually going to be walking out the front door of the hospital. The older a patient is who arrests, the more comorbidities, the greater likelihood they're losing their physical independence post-arrest, and the greater likelihood they're going to have poor neurological outcomes.

Having an in-hospital arrest is a "valid medical reason to live a shorter life." Pardon this paper's age, but it isn't regwalled.

I'm extremely single right now and I'm not in a position to date even casually, so the only sexual outlet I have is masturbation. My problem is that I've been having a really hard time with dysphoria recently, and it's getting triggered when I see cis women's bodies in porn. I'm at a point now where I can't watch porn with cis women in it at all without dysphoria hitting me and immediately killing my mood. I would watch stuff with just trans women in it but it's hard to find any that's not labeled with slurs and doesn't treat us as if we exist only to satisfy a fetish for cis men.
Idk what I want out of this post other than to complain about how much this sucks. It's leaving me feeling sexually frustrated and dysphoric and sad. If anyone has any advice to offer, I'd be happy to hear it.

He wont watch T porn because he finds the slurs hurtful but he has no problem with all the "SLUT / WHORE / BITCH DESTROYED BY GIANT CAWK" titles on the other porn.
It sounds like someone is making a tacit admission he doesn't see himself as a woman.

On and on it goes like this.

(To be honest, with a lot of the anonymous "trans parent" -type accounts I reckon it's as likely as not to be a tranny larping)
"Would you prefer a trans daughter or a dead son?"

Literally the bullshit they use to justify grooming kids.

They're always telling on themselves. No one said that trannies or basketball americans are doing most of the sexual offenses, but this "person" thinks everyone is on the same page and blurts the quiet part out loud.

(It is our civic duty to castrate and lower libido for proven-beyond-the-shadow-of-a-doubt sex offenders, if we're not outright executing them. If certain groups are molesting and raping at higher rates, maybe those groups should stop doing that. If the percentage of offending people in a group is high enough to the point that proper punishment could resemble eugenics, maybe those groups deserve to be sterilized to obscurity.)

Who would admit this out loud? | Archive
Genuinely surprised their outrage wasn't 'they're going to give sex offenders SRS before trans people'.
Okay, well, you can still be an offender with a penis. So what the fuck is cutting off their balls gonna do, help them get away with it?
Absolutely retarded.
It's explained in the post I quoted above, but basically castration is thought to lower re-offense rates because having no balls kills your sex drive. You can see troons complain about the same issue after they get the chop and suddenly realise it really was a fetish all along and now they can't coom any more and instantly regret their every decision.

Personally I'm of the opinion if you've already raped a kid you should be buried under the prison, but I guess cutting your balls off is a good start.

Oh, that's a methodologically sound survey, for sure. Because no one but the most deluded activist thinks the U.S. population is fully half alphabet people. (smh)

How many including allies? That's the real question.
And how many allies are still allies when they are so to speak off duty?

By dominating the narrative they delude themselves.

A lot of people who go along to avoid trouble will go along to avoid trouble when the tide turns,
if not actively join in the night of long knives (because that is really what they wanted).
 
I haven't read the article but the title alone is ridiculous. Most people wont care, and also I thought LGBTQ activists talked about how rainbow capitalism was a bad thing? Now all of a sudden its a good thing? This goes to show that these people were never against capitalism as long as it promoted stuff they liked.
Brands are receding from LGBTQ+ support at a time when the community is rapidly growing; nearly 30% of Gen Z adults identify as queer, substantially higher than previous estimates. For all of the talk about wanting to connect with Gen Z, this seems out of step for many marketers.
Noticed how the writer states nearly 30% of Gen Z adults identify as "queer". But what is queer? I've seen so many people claim that doing something like dyeing your hair red or blue makes you queer. Also if we took this at face value then why does the LGBTQ community act as though they're a tiny minority who bigots are making a big deal out of? They can't simultaneously claim that they're a tiny oppressed minority that fascists are making this big thing, and then claim that they're nearly 30% of Gen Z's population and rapidly growing. Which is it then?
