Luckily users can add those, and other events to their own calendar. I'm happy users will understand none of these corporations actually care about {insert pet issue of the day}.
- Spivak 2y agoWe know. The only reason corporations include them is because they feel like they have to. It means those issues have enough political capital to get the entities with real power to back them. Institutionalizing is the shield for those groups politically, if you go after <group> then you're losing money, votes, and you'll drown in bad press. You can try to minimize it by calling them pet issues but they affect real people. "Pet issues" from the other side are "today's political whipping boy." Trust me, we would rather not be talking about them either. Maybe the whole DEI thing is a blessing in disguise because it points all the arbitrary rage on an abstract concept rather than specific groups of people. We've always been at war with DEI…
- amazingamazing 2y agoCalling something a pet issue is in no way minimizing it - people care a lot about their pets.
