The virtue signaling just backfires. “Rainbow washing” is a thing now. Companies never gave a fuck about a progressive message, they care about trendy things to cash in on.
It’s too bad they don’t have ownership of their company any longer. They sold B&J to Unilever and now they have a reduced platform to share progressive values. Any progressivism out of Unilever is cynical corporate pandering.

I get the impression Ben and Jerry’s does actually care bout progressive issues, but they are that rare exception.
