    Corporations using memes in their marketing is one step below the annual leeching off of pride month.

    🤮

      Seems more likely that the developers like the meme and implemented it, not all decisions are made by shitty corpos. Especially if it’s not a cash shop item or something.

      Corporations exploit the enthusiasm and passion of developers and designers for their own profit.

      This is 1000% a decision people made at lower levels which the corporation allowed. Which is very different than a cynical marketing exec coming up with it.

      It is very rare that cynical marketing execs are both that chronically online and in a decision making position that lets them do things that are “risky” or “waste employee bandwidth”

      I bet during pride month, the group huddle before a match consists of an aging coach sharing strong opinions about L.G.B.The-Lot-Of-Them-Are-All-Filthy-Liars-And-Predators-Every-Last-One-Of-Them.Q people.
