    Some reason? I’m going to go for money, the reason is money. Humans have an incredible tolerance for advertisement right now and the majority of people (sorry, lemmites, I know you feel different, but if you think your views are widespread think again) are becoming accustomed to subscribing to a variety of streaming services. If you have capital and know anything about advertising, this is a cash grab for you. A lot of content can be produced quite cheaply now.

      The CEO is oftentimes a company policymaker; I think it would be foolish to ignore that fact.

      I’ve been boycotting C-f-a for at least 15 years now; and I don’t tell my friends or suggest that my family eat there either; except as an emergency uber last resort. The gas station (burritos/sushi/hot-dog-warmer) would be suggested first.

      My current partner(s) know and respect my feelings for the company and they feel roughly the same anyways; and so we never eat there.

      No, the ceo is homophobic, but the chain itself has no restrictions on hiring gay people, serving gay people, etc. some people don’t seem to get the difference.

          And plenty of owners of other companies support even worse orgs, I don’t get your point. What the owners do in their free time honestly doesn’t mean jack shit. NASA uses SpaceX whose owner is currently one of the most bigoted people on the planet. Do you still support NASA?

              Then you shouldn’t support pretty much any fast food chain. All their CEOs or downstream CEOs act pretty much the same. Treating Chick-fil-A like it’s somehow different here is just hypocritical.

    So, what, they’re going to make shows about how to fuck up waffle fries? Or how about the part where all their chicken’s bland as shit. “Spicy” my ass. Oh, how about the part where they’re owned by a bunch of Christian nut jobs? How are they going to make that into a channel? Play reruns of Rich Church Wants Your Donations?

      Popeyes is the superior chicken fast food. I’ll fight anyone on this hill.

      I’ve had practice eating at Popeyes.
