The lack of Pride seasonal events is super disrespectful to the trans community

What annoys me is the hypocrisy of these companies they will push the lgbqt agenda in the USA while ignoring or straight up contradicting themselves in other parts of the world.

It keeps the social population of each region happy so you can't blame them, lol.
Think about it, if they were pro gay in a region where it's looked down on then the company gets blacklisted or "cancelled". if they are anti gay in a region where it's everywhere they will be blacklisted or "cancelled". It's not that hard to figure out why companies do what they do, lol.

This is true, it won't be Square US doing this, it will be Square's Saudi or middle eastern offices who will run their own business under the Square Enix name.

My point is why would you want a company that obviously doesn't care about the movement supporting it just for money?

I understand why they do it, just don't understand the people that support these companies being hypocritical

It would be a mix of money, story, and internal employees. Many ERGs do these things, which are employee resource groups etc. It gets them funding from LGBT charities which come to fundraising events, and by the end of it, they end up with another mansion, and the average LGBT member doesn't see a scent of the cash but doesn't worry. The struggle continues, and solidarity must flow.

Its a masquerade in a sense it allows people to put on events to socialise with people and to make themselves seem interesting to show they do white saviour work when they go for their next job.

Um, I mean, I never WANTED the company but i'll take it if you are offering! If you mean supporting said company then I guess ultimately it boils down to: I'm not. I'm just paying to play a game until it crosses THAT line and then I stop playing it. Who "supports" a company? They showed off a product, I bought a product. Simple as that, lol.
