Noice~

John Harvey Kellogg was a fucked-up man.

I wonder how many people patronize pride-pandering corporations just because they don't want to be accused of not caring. >O>;

Hopefully most folks see past the weird smokescreen

Despite the sad history lesson here. The piece of these two is just borderline affordable. Great work Hook

...jeez, I had no idea Kellogg's was that bad.

This was their founder like a hundred years ago, im sure the company is fine now.

... Probably. Their pride cereal still annoys me.

well at least your pandered too should mean less trouble (JK rowling aside) I always thought coorperate pandering was a good sign

I'd say there's definitely silver linings to it, but it just means that corporations have realized that gay people have money as well. The people like the Kelloggs founder would still try their best to be rid of the guys if they could. Let alone the weird hyper religious groups.

Its an elevation of the status of LGBT+ stuff to "demographic", not bad, arguably a step in the right direction, but I still don't wanna be pandered to.

Funny How his Brother Dr kellogg is/was a better person then his younger brother

People much smarter than me put it best; corporations don't do this because they care, they just want social brownie points.

for a dude who didn't love the gay, that Kellogg dude sure loved him some buttplay

And he thought vitamins would make you immortal.

The genital mutilation is what really sets me off.

Bruh, I like hate this month

I'm favin this because Im tired of the corporate pandering. "Hey let's everyone know we support you guys (just this month) because we want you to buy our merch and advertise it for us! GO CAPITALISM"

Pretty good stuff, always love seeing your take on Chip/yeah....forgot that the original Kellogg founder was a bit of a homophobic nutcase. The pandering is a bit annoying but companies do that. It's super telling that in countries where that stuff is outlawed, even punishable by death, you don't see a single hint of them even approaching this subject on said country's pr branch twitter feed.

They're playing both sides for one thing, the dosh, and really I guess you can't blame them for being companies? Just makes any pandering feel hollow. That tangent aside, yeah, really lovely stuff.

At these two would certainly make for a cute couple^^

PrAy tHe gAy AwAy- the idiots out there that think its a disease that can be cured when its a life choice that should be respected

Sorry to be a bit persnickety, but for most it's not technically a choice. I guess it is in the sense that you can choose to live inauthentically with an opposite-sex partner, or spend your life single and celibate. But then the sorts of people who think those are good options don't seem too keen on the idea of people seeing openly same sex couples living in contented, stable long term relationships. Go figure!

My foolishness knows no bounds

Every multibillion-dollar company in pride month https://i.redd.it/cd6zzxyeaa251.jpg

how to find out if a corporation is pandering:

search for the middle east account.

You made the trix rabbit look absolutely adorable here!~

Didn't they invent cereals to cure masturbation and not the gay? Or was it both?

He was none too fond of the gays or the minorities, big Eugenics fan that Mr. Kelloggs!

Man, that person who was from 1851 and died 170 YEARS AGO is such a bad person

The corporation that has profited off his legacy and work but done nothing to make amends for his misdeeds pretending to support the causes he fought against is the issue here.

Not some old guy misunderstanding things. The current, long lasting damage that the megacorp not working to right the wrongs of its founder while espousing progressive jargon like theyre helping. That's the problem point here.

It'd be better if they just shut up and didn't front.

Yeah, no shit.
