Welcome to /c/Gay - Your LGBTQ+ Haven
We're more than just a community; we're your haven for celebrating LGBTQ+ culture and connecting with like-minded individuals.
Community Rules:
~ 1. No bigotry. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person. This includes speculating about someones sexuality, no matter how "obvious" it may be.
~ 4. Keep it LGBTQ+ related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love posts but 3-4 in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Starbucks ditched DEI last year before the fascists were even in power. But don't worry, they have a trans person in their new ad so we can forgive that and all their support of war crimes now.
I'm happy to see the representation, don't get me wrong, but Starbucks can go fuck themselves.
Oh thank god the good people over at JP Morgan Chase aren't bending the knee, they should be forgiven for that whole London Whale thing, the Subprime Mortgages and predatory lending that helped lead to the 2008 financial crisis and all that stuff, which mostly disproportionately ruined the lives of POC (sometimes completely), it's all cool because they said "no we think this move will benefit our shareholders more than if we bent the knee, we'll make more money virtue signaling."
Never thought I'd see lemmy simping for one of the largest and most evil banking institutions in the world, the fuck? Other corporations like apple and microsoft sure, that happens all the time here, y'all love billion dollar corporations so long as they have "good" UI and can run the fortnites, but JP fucking Morgan?!
McDonald's twice.
I like the moral of the post image but their use of the word "capitalists" seems pretty sketchy. That's a flag for tankie astroturfing.
Is it?
Its not only people supporting China that hate capitalists
Thats why I called it a flag instead of a clear indication.
The way I see it, tearing down capitalism will never lead to communism, but those words just mean west and east to Tankies anyways.
When there are this many Tankies on Lemmy its a safer bet to assume "capitalism causes all the bad" are Tankies than not.
