The only people who actually thought progress was being made were functionally blind and children. Too ignorant of the world and too obstinate to listen to their elders.
The elder queers, those who did listen to them, or those with critical thinking skills who weren't terminally online. Have been screaming from the roof tops that pride month and the corporatization of queer culture for the purpose of PR and marketing was bad for everyone.
But those loud idiots would scream and bitch. Claimed we where being haters, sexist and bigots. When we where just trying to stop people from selling out their own communities for lies.
To try to get them to push their time and effort into real projects and their real communities.
But they rather have a 14.99 rainbow flag in call of duty, or a shiny sparkly effect on discord.
