For example, don't try to sell a product to me because I'm gay, try to sell it to me because I'm Possible consumer.

My sexual orientation does not affect how I see a business, but if you're specifically making it about sexual orientation I'm more likely to buy a different product or take my business elsewhere. Because that's my right as the consumer

They also know which markets contain (typically) which types of people

The way I see it,

I don't want to have a company try and sell me a product because I'm gay, white, or anything like that. I want them to try and sell me a product because they want to make money, and it's possibly a product I'm interested in.

Not because they want political correctness points so they could easily try and sway the media or use their influence

I mean, I’m more likely to buy goya beans cause they back trump.

Here in Canada,

Not entirely what you are saying, but it does affect things a but I’m sure

We don't really have any major company that I know of that really makes themselves overly political unless it's on Twitter

Twitter is the place where companies are both born and died and where political correctness is monitored on a scale

Imagine if you would, if Twitter had a public policy of you having to make at least one politically correct statement a month or you get your account banned

Yeah I mean I'm with ya I don't like pandering either

> Imagine if you would, if Twitter had a public policy of you having to make at least one politically correct statement a month or you get your account banned
@Gene. Rod Sterling vibe in that line

At least then they would be open about it.

Personally I'd prefer companies stay outta politics and culture in general

I don't have a problem with them giving out their opinions or whatever,

What companies should be made about making money and customer satisfaction if they decide to take that route

It should never be made about political correctness we're trying to get new deals because of how politically correct you are

Isn't that the same thing tho?

Literally everybody at my high school who is gay, anybody who I talk to at least, we all agree that we all get fed up with these stupid YouTube advertisements which are directly supposed to be appealing to the gay community

They appeal to the gay community by basically stereotyping and mocking us

Humm. I do know what you mean but it's not for gay markets imo

Not all gay people are like James Charles, not all of us are Head Over Heels about small tiny food

We don't go around calling other gay people sisters or anything like that, we're everyday people who just want to be treated with basic decency and be able to because we are potential customers

do you find that identity politics has weaseled it's way into the Canadian education system?

Be appealed to*

absolutely,

It's to prove they are 'progressive' or whatever and get that market which is ironically just the wealthy liberal i ugess

Before I was officially in the high school, I was threatened to be beat up because I mentioned that my religion says there are only two genders. Even though I'm not very sure on my personal opinion

It's strange, because after I joined the high school nobody ever had an issue

But yes, it feels like identity politics has severely been introduced into the education system in Canada

In my school, they're not the severely the best with conservative ideals

For example,

Is a gay person have no problem saying that the pride flag should not be on the same flag pole above the country's flag

I ask because I'm also Canadian and I'm worried that my nephew will eventually see that "Equality vs Equity" apple box baseball picture in class. It's only a matter of time :/

I don't know.

My personal belief, schools have been too political

They have to be to keep their money flowing in

At my old school, I believe I was constantly treated differently because of my political views

here's the best way to put it,
