I indulge in rainbow capitalism, and so do many other queer people who just want a cute pride outfit that doesn’t break the bank, the lesson here is to be as thoughtful of a consumer as you can and that’s really it.Īs a consumer who likes to be thoughtful, I also like to criticize and roast what these big corporations are trying to get me to spend my hard-earned money on.
