But I think I get it:

Let’s say you really love the rich taste of Royal Dutch Shell gasoline, but you’re concerned that their mineral rights contracts with developing countries might be exploitative. Now, if they release a rainbow colored logo for Pride month, you might feel less shame when drinking their gasoline, because they did a good deed.

However, the truth is none of it matters because you’re gonna keep on guzzling all the Royal Dutch Shell gas you can get your hands on because it just. tastes. so. good.
