They weren't standing for anything in the first place. They were trying to market their product in a way that they thought would make people buy it.

I can’t remember if this actually happened or if you are just making a joke. Good times.

I find it hilarious when people get upset about companies that don't change profile pics during whatever month, when it's not like any of them give a shit in the first place.

the people who grand stand about this sort of crap are the people who are the same way as the companies. they don't give a shit either, but they want to be seen as giving a shit so they can feel like they are 'good' people, you know, get that sweet social capital of likes on IG.
