Part 7/9:
An underlying criticism is the perceived hypocrisy of companies supporting pride or transgender visibility campaigns while ignoring or disrespecting other cultural or religious observances—such as Easter. Critics pointed out that BioWare posted nothing about Easter celebrations, which made their focus on Transgender Day of Visibility seem even more disingenuous to some.
Furthermore, there's skepticism about whether corporations truly support diversity or merely use it for branding advantages during specific periods like Pride Month or other awareness days. The pattern of locking comment sections when facing backlash reinforces the perception that these statements are more about signaling than authentic commitment.
