It is kind of pleasing that now they DO realise enough people support us that not marketing to us would look worse, but it undermines its own point. Queer is inherently connected to punk.

Yeah I view Corpo Pride as graffiti: Weāre prominent enough we get to throw our colors up on signs all over the goddamned place.

Damn it is so painfully accurate. Being a massive queer myself, I have seen some of the worst corporate pride has to offer, and they almost ALWAYS donate to hate groups anyways.

There is not an ideal or identity that cannot be transformed into a commodity by those consumed by the pursuit of profit.

It just means the work is truly a sublime masterpiece when people argue. The story is just that good.

oh my god I saw that at walmart. fucking āafro unicornsā plastered onto one of those kids books with the patterned shiny spine. Even I thought that was offensive and Iām not even the type to complain about that kind of thing. God itās hard to discern the things that are supposed to be less racist and the things that are trying to be more racist.

Those are made by Black people, specifically to combat the stigma that textured hair still faces (mostly for women and girls). Some real horses do have ātexturedā hair, too: American Bashkir Curly - Wikipedia

MLP uses Zebras along those lines, I do believe. Which they also associate with Native Americans. & Kelpies?
Does not do much for the hair.

Itās representation. Even if itās just a unicorn with hair like a child or a childās family members have? Itās something that goes āHey, thereās someone/something like meā instead of a cavalcade of things that reinforce a sense of othering or being āabnormalā.
Just like having a character in a same sex relationship that isnāt either a joke, or a one off character in a āVery special episodeā, it helps. It helps a LOT and the āThatās racist!/No one wants to see that!/Donāt shove them down our throats!ā crowd? Tend to come from a place of feeling threatened that thereās the slightest hint of a piece of media might not be tacitly reinforcing that heterosexual white anglo saxon protestant and cisgendered are the only traits that should be on display.
AlsoWavyWizard is a queer, Black user who did some great fluffies with natural hair.

I donāt know itās just not the world I grew up in. When we did representation it was haphazard and simple. Characters were complex and complete without having to consider what race they were. Putting it on a pedestal front and center as their primary trait seems wrong, the representation feels planned and forced rather than incidental. all thatās made worse by how many stories donāt bother fleshing out characters beyond that. It comes down to them being present and it makes them shallow and story suffers for it.
