Don’t worry, I still know – corporations are not our friends. Corporations only love money. Corporations do whatever they think will get them more money. And corporations will not hesitate to drop us like a rainbow-colored habit if they think we might lose them money. (Cough, Bud Light and Target, cough.)
Requisite Down With Late Stage Capitalism rant over, OMFG did you see Nike’s new Megan Rapinoe TV commercial they made for her final World Cup? Yes, yes, Rainbow Capitalism, I know. But holyforkingshirtballs they made her into a super rad 80s cartoon superhero a la vintage (and kinda present) She-Ra and Jem and day-glow G.I. Joe. And very, very gay. And, well, thanks to all the activists and everyday LGBTQ people who came before us and fought so hard for progress to get us to a point where a $37 billion global brand celebrates an out lesbian sport star by making a kickass animated ad portraying her as a fucking all-American hero. Which, of course she is. And everyone knows it, even Nike.
