Sports Illustrated Goes Woke

And now Kohl's. SMH.

And now Khol's. SMH.

kohls has been woke for awhile, most people are oblivious . at least they were smart enough to avoid the tuck stuff. You can check any big companies "ESG Report" to see what their plans are. The Sonoma join was to increase their score

Kohl's 2022 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Highlights:

• Introduced Sonoma Community, a brand dedicated to offering meaningful collections that celebrate diversity and inspire togetherness
• Increased spend with diverse suppliers by over 37% and increased supplier count by 70% in 2022
• Committed nearly $8 million in support of diverse communities, specifically Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AANHPI), Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC), LGBTQIA+, people with disabilities, veterans and active military members, and women, putting us well on our way to achieving our goal of donating $20 million by 2025

For a more a more comprehensive look at LGBTQ+ support, most companies rely on the Corporate Equality Index put out by The Human Rights Campaign. CEI is 40% based on outward facing LQBTQ policies, and a company can face an additional 25% penalty for actions which do not support the LGBTQ cause. A perfect CEI score requires donations to LGBTQ+ causes, refusal to donate to non-religious organizations that discriminate based on LGBTQ+ issues, and support of gender transition. Kohl’s received a perfect score in 2022.

Kohl’s ESG Report Shows Focus On LGBTQ+ Pride Support

Kohl's is facing backlash for LGBTQ+ Pride support. Like Target, Kohl’s 2022 ESG Report shows a clear focus on supporting the LGBTQ+ community.

Here’s the real problem… they can offer that stuff, but they will eventually stop offering it if nobody buys it. So the real question isn’t why are they offering it, but rather who TF is buying it? Who would somebody be compelled to buy that stuff? I mean I’m not exactly right wing but I’m not buying that shit for my kid. The only reason I think my kid would even want it is because she’s a 3yo and loves rainbows just like my sister did in the 80s when she was a kid so I’m not going to blame daycare or anything for “indoctrinating her into liking rainbows” like some people might claim.

That leaves us with one possibility, and that is the parents are seeking attention by proxy by having their kids wear this shit.

Yeah like rainbow wolves and shit.

More like kids being used as their parents billboard. Probably the kids whose parents quote them quoting climate scientists on Twitter.

In terms of the swimsuit issue and SI you can opt out. Betting like most things those who mean to never actually get around to it in a lot of cases. Then again who the fuck buys mags these days at all?[

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Is it all that different than the Tupac or biggie shirts target sells for children. Wtf toddler is listening to biggie? It’s parents pushing their agenda if they’re buying that shit for their kids.

 

[radioguy6]

just more companies chasing that perfect ESG score, or risk funding/financial incentives. Kinda of like extortion, and when you dont comply, you face social media backlash. Just a lose-lose situation. It's what all of this woke bullshit the vast majority of everyday people never asked for boils down to.

I will say it will be fucking amazing if a corporation releases a statement one day that is like "We had to do it we were threatened about our ESG score." The retaliation would probably be impressive, but that's another matter entirely.

I suspect they're more subtle than that at times, if they weren't I think Elon would have dumped docs by now honestly.

we could reach that breaking point soon. Look at Budweiser, how it came back full circle on them, not many saw that coming. People don't like being used as political tokens for products they consume.

Once you take a step back and realize some of these companies are being forced into an agenda, it completely invalidates anything they are so-called supporting. Yet people are too busy fighting with each other, and not the ones behind the curtain. Almost like its by design.

Ah yes, the CEI. I've heard of that, but didn't think it had such a huge influence over companies.

More info:

Inside the CEI system pushing brands to endorse celebs like Dylan Mulvaney

The controversial Corporate Equality Index (CEI) scoring system, overseen by the Human Rights Campaign, awards companies beneficial points for moves like endorsing trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

I still don't know why any company would bother with what basically is a "woke index". In the real world, does anyone give a fuck if a company is "low" on the CEI, except for some LBGQTWXYZ+ people, or 0.01% of the population?

Because the companies like Black Rock tied to it have significant sway if people are investors in your company. If they own a share of your company already they probably have significant sway. When I was with EMC, Elliot had a 3% investment in it; That was enough to get them power on the board and to ultimately cause EMC to be like "fuck you we're going private" and selling to Dell.

Netherlands went after the farmers who formed their own political party. Now we may see a government change. I'm Dutch and hope the good guys win.

Lingerie retailer Victoria’s Secret plans to withdraw its attempt at being more inclusive with its marketing, reverting to its original reputation in the wake of decreased sales.

The brand, known for hiring beautiful models, has tried to diversify its models over the past few years, including obese and transgender representatives. However, the rebrand attempt has not translated to increased sales, with the outlet’s projected revenue for this year at $6.2 billion, down by almost 20% compared to 2020’s $7.5 billion.

Shocking that women don't get sold on looking sexy when looking at obese women and men in panties! Who would have thought?

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Let's market to the 1% and expect increased sales

 

[sickmint79]

overweight women certainly aren't the 1%...

 

[Chet Donnelly]

I took his comment as 1% are the people likely to get sold on woke marketing......

Even overweight women are likely to be more sold on seeing advertising of sexier looking women.

100% the parents (normally moms) using their kids to advertise their own virtues. This clip by JBP sums a similar issue up perfectly, I love the way this dude frames a problem. I looked it up after I saw it, Karen Burke is the mom's name and she's a president at Disney.
