    it’s okay to like their greasy sloppy bullshit chicken in peace. you don’t have to defend their bigotry online.

    plus.

    “they only USED TO donate to hate groups” really isn’t the defense you think it is

      Why isn’t it? We all USED to crap in our diapers, but times change.

      Pretty much everyone you know who was alive in the 90s said or did some horrible shit to or about lgbt people

      I’m not defending bigotry. I’m saying they stopped doing what people accuse them of years ago.

      Also, I might have the wrong word here, but why are you arguing hyperbolically?

        hm I’m not sure. hyperbolic means using exaggeration for rhetorical or dramatic effect. i dont think I was doing that.

          Yeah, I don’t really know a better word for it. I was referring to how you turned my “they haven’t done it for years” into defense of them doing it, and then also insulted their product so colorfully. Maybe “extreme” would have been a better word? Less specific, but I think that’s okay.

            Well my comment was certainly biased! It seems like people who grew up eating their food like it a lot more than people who didn’t, so I wanted to be sure to make that jab that I don’t think their food is that good.

            As for how long it’s been since they took that stance… I dunno, I do think it’s different for average folk in the 90s to make cultural commentary that perpetuates homophobia. What CFA did was bigger, on a systemic level with the aim of affecting policy, and it was at least 20 years later when there already had been a major cultural shift against homophobia. I’d give an individual a pass on improving their bigotry much more easily than I would a corporation.
