Alright, people, we've got to fucking stop this nonsense.
It's a good chicken sandwich. Look, I get it. It's hard to ascribe religious fundamentalist bullshit to them, when the people are nice, when even the people that work there are generally pro-LGBT. And look, I understand, the owners are Christofascists. They're going to support what they want to support, I understand pulling your support from them. But goddamn, can we cool it a bit?
I'm trans. I don't give a fuck if you eat chicken. It's good chicken, enjoy it! You can still be an ally even though you engage in problematic consumption habits, just be there when we need you there. That's what matters. Getting pissed off at people if you *aren't* LGBT because they like a chicken fucking sandwich is legitimately actual virtue signalling, it's time to stop.
If we wanted to force out every one that enjoys something from a fucked business or person, we'd be banning 99% of the site, ourselves included.
I like Amazon, it's convenient, and where the fuck else am I going to get anything? Oh, but that's right, their mistreatment of workers is bad -- of course, we only really get up in arms about them because they're big and in the news, what about other companies, too? Do you think your shoes aren't problematic? Your clothes? The car you drive, the gas you pump, the food you eat, no matter what it is? Guess what, if you aren't growing your own goddamn food, it was picked by a laborer making less than minimum wage -- sometimes children, even in the US, because child labor laws don't apply in that case -- so anything you eat? Problematic. If you purchase something, it was purchased with the blood, sweat, and tears of countless workers, from a place that profits off of the blood, sweat, and tears of workers, who got their raw materials from the blood, sweat, and tears of workers.
Are you going to be an ascetic in the fucking mountains, or something?
For fuck's sake.
Eat your goddamn chicken, don't vote for bigots, back us up when they're trying to disappear us. Enough is enough. You can criticize Chik-fil-A, their corporate private owned bullshit deserves it. But tiny support with a sandwich every now and again isn't going to be the difference between supporting LGBT causes and being with us fighting, and leaving us hanging when we need you the most.
They'll be donating to fascist causes any way, your pennies of support per sale isn't gonna turn a fucking tide.
Resetera doesn't need these crusades. It's a fucking sandwich. Kids are in goddamn concentration camps, LGBT people are being discriminated on a state-sanctioned basis. They're trying to take away millions of peoples' healthcare, again. They're trying to remake the very fabric of our country in their Christofascist last gasp.
Maybe I'm alone on the T side getting mad about this, but it's like everyone is tripping over themselves to show everyone how goddamn liberal they are. If you're too self-righteous to eat a chicken sandwich, how can we count on you when the time comes to defend us?
Fam... what? You really typed this out and thought you were making some grand point? You know what, I'm out, I said my piece (which no one bothered to respond to) . There's no defense for some of the nonsense ITT. Baffling ass shit in here.
