No one plays Portal here? No gamers?
I'm more of a Black Mesa guy.
Got it on sale!
Same
I saw this or something similar a few years ago.
It's outdated today. Aperture is a defense contractor that wouldn't risk upsetting trump.
Ok but is that voice GLADOS or Cave Johnson?
in my head it was the other robotic voice. I think it was used in both portal 1 and 2
Definitely Cave Johnson. The tone is disregarding and corporate, GLaDOS would have been insulting and condescending.
In my head it was definitely Cave.
Yeah and now that certain companies run the risk of getting flattened into the ground by Trump, only those companies that actually gave a shit continue to support Pride.
only those companies that actually gave a shit continue to support Pride.
By which you mean only those companies that believe appearing to give a shit will be more profitable than sucking Trump's dick continue to support Pride.
Isn't that's company in Portal (video game)?
Yes, a company that heavily satirizes American capitalism.
Yes.
Are you telling me that there are companies out there that actually care about the LGBT for real?
There are at least a few companies owned by people in that community.
Any of the multinational conglomerates, though? Not a chance.
Netflix don't add subtitles just for deaf people.
If it makes them money, they care.
I'll do my own pandering thank you. With a collection of clear virtue signals, a rigorous purity filter and a crew of fanatical moderators.
You never play Portal?
BASED as FUCK
Uh-oh... Any news yet about the Tromp government actively suppressing Pride celebrations and events?
If it would make them money they'd do it in a blink of an eye
The fact they are not is telling but not for the reasons everyone here thinks
I'm not sure whether I want this to be read by GLADOS or Cave Johnson. Both would deliver the hell out of these lines.
I prefer the robotic announcer with the fake uplifting, soulless tone.
I'm a little surprised nobody thinks of that
I think I've seen this with audio for both.

Corporations supporting pride are canaries in the coalmine. When they stop chirping, you know something is wrong.
Besides, I don't like cynicism. Yeah, most big corps don't give a fuck. And this is what this meme is about. But regular gays work everywhere, and support does make a difference in those places
Jesus, it is the company in Portal. It is a satire
I hear you. My reaction to the banks/other massive conglomerates draping colors for whichever things will retain the most customers that day/week/month is the same as the people who wait until the Super Bowl and then show up at work decked out in Eagles gear. It's sad that it has to be tied to something so fake but the support isn't exactly going to be turned down.
Great analogy.
Absolutely - rainbow capitalism can be a problem, and actively attacking that rainbow capitalism from a place of bigotry-in-power can be a far bigger problem. Visibility and representation matter.

Can hear Cave Johnson saying that, it's missing an off script line after "your favourite colour of gay"
Cave Johnson standing away from the mic: what do you mean the colour gay? Gays not a colour! It's a rainbow, it's all the colours! Who wrote this script? I want them fired, fire them now!
