| Topic | Chick-Fil-A's sales have DOUBLED since the LGBT community called for a Boycott |
| foolm0r0n 11/02/19 11:21:20 AM #148: | Mr Lasastryke posted... this whole thing reminds me of the blizzard bullshit, really. "i'm going to boycott blizzard! I'M SO MORAL! now if you'll excuse me, i'm going to continue to support five billion other terrible companies that don't have a controversial news story attached to them." it's just virtue signalling. Well, it's not virtue signalling if you were actually a customer and then stopped. That's a real expression of speech and market pressure. And the corollary is that if you were never a customer, then you can't say shit. All you can do is virtue signal. That's what I've been saying to Santa etc (and now, surprise, Extha). That's why GGers got so incredibly sensitive and pissed by that gamasutra article. It called them out for not actually being a customer of the gaming industry just because they play 1 game now and then and then angrily post about it online the rest of the week. The implication being all they can do is virtue signal since as non-customers they have no power. Fortunately, when we point out the atrocities that the US government and the global economy commits with our money, we are ALL customers and we ALL have a voice in that. So really that's what the tuff guys ITT should be talking about. --- _foolmo_ 2 + 2 = 4 ... Copied to Clipboard! |
