>>121282893>>121282819I'm just amazed that people think corporations are anything at all aside for massive soulless engines driven solely by pursuit of profit, and that said corporations would both a) commit to doing anything even vaguely risky without MOUNTAINS of market research and expert opinions, and b) repeat the same "mistake" as many other corporations over and over and over if it were really costing them billions of dollars in revenue. Not only would the board of directors not allow their company to willingly throw away billions of dollars, they would explicitly destroy anybody who even suggests such a course of action.
Consider the alternative: "woke" commercials and superficial activism are extremely profitable as shown by massive sales increases following social media backlash due to a chimney effect wherein reactionaries echo a brand's talking points across the web for free, thus encouraging braindead liberals to purchase the product because it made the orange people mad. Moreover, this advertising reaches everyone on social media, regardless of whether they've installed adblock, don't watch TV, or even don't go outside.
