That's another aspect of it - those practices aren't "libshit" they're corporate shit. Same as sticking a big GREEN label on random products.
Ya know, there's a scene in The Boys where Maeve is outed as a bisexual, so they decide to promote her queerness as part of a "Brave Maeve" campaign to encourage those in the closet to come out.
But then they tell her she has to be a lesbian, not bisexual, because bisexuality is "too confusing", and even then they police what behaviors she is and is not allowed to do; she can be a lesbian but not "too gay", and she's only allowed to date feminine individuals while presenting as masculine or vice versa because to do otherwise is to "send the wrong message"
This basically ruins her life, forces her girlfriend to break up with her because she can't take having to be a "Model Minority" at all times, and Maeve is left so broken she almost reveals the fact that she and Homelander don't actually save people to the whole world.
When I saw that, I was like "Holy shit, finally, someone else who understands why I, a transgender woman, actively avoid media that caters to the LGBT community. Finally, SOMEONE gets it and they're making sure other people get it too."
