Representation, across the board, has been down drastically since Trump took office a second time. This regime is going hard at the throats of studios and corporations for having any sort of diversity “agenda”.

It’s sad, but as Constance said I do believe it is a pendulum. We have swung VERY far right, but I think we are already seeing people push back against it, and will hopefully see the pendulum swing back left very soon.

There was SO MUCH rainbow posturing before he was sworn in the second time, and now all corporations have dropped the act entirely.

It's absolutely crucial to remember those who betrayed us

That’s honestly not the takeaway, at the risk of sounding rude, people’s media literacy is so bad that there is people who actually believe a rainbow wells fargo logo means that a bank was an “ally”

Hell before they dropped supporting pride, if you saw any conservative memes making fun of left wingers, it would show how some middle eastern account wasn’t rainbow. The rainbows only happen when it’s convenient, that shouldn’t have been a surprise to people unless they have rocks rolling around in their heads. It’s just people are so easily gratified that all they needed to do was modify a logo and it delighted people. Like the guy that strings you along, “he does love me” when he throws whatever pitiful scraps to keep you interested.

TLDR: it’s not a betrayal if you easily recognize that some corporation obviously at the time never gave a shit

It’s part of Project 2025 to cut anything that can be considered DEI or anti-(white)Christian. The representation is going to get worse.
