Maybe this forum without the horrible ads. Am I the only one who gets dental implants and toe fungus ads? I don't have to fungus. Why do these ads think I have toe fungus?

Get the AdBlocker Chrome extension my guy.

I like beer companies becoming political. It's just what our society needs right now.

We live in a capitalist society and public conversations about morality will play out in that context whether you like it or not.

Besides I can't for the life of me picture what these "public conversations" you'd like to see would even look like in practice.

Agree.  And we're already having these conversations.   Twitter is a public forum and so is this site.

What's quite funny to me is that left critiques of rainbow capitalism are about corporations coopting LGBTQ symbols and messaging to sell stuff without making any meaningful contributions to the community while right critiques are "beer cans gone woke." There's no intellectual foundation there.

Well, can you expound on what you have in mind?

I Dunno, people just talk about things and decide if they're right or not.

Isn't that what's happening, and should happen?

Why not?

Consumer boycotts dominate the discussion around moral questions.

Consumer power is all people have left when their voting options are so limited.

Yeah I think you're articulating my skepticism around all of this.

Some conservative dude posted himself harassing employees at a Lego store for wearing Pride pins and some other conservative dude shared it on Twitter and both of them thought it made their team look good. They have no idea how weird and offputting this is to normal people.

It's very useful to hear what kind of voice goes with those comments..

He sounds like he's got a lot of problems in his life not really lgbtq problems but personal problems

This guy is mad about Lego pushing LGBTQ support "on children" because he feels its inappropriate to children, and then in the middle of the Lego Store with children around he says loudly "do you think children care about what man sucks d*** at home, or what girl eats v*ginas at home?".

As a kicker, he gets kicked out of the coolest store in the world, which is his loss really.
