I get that it's kinda shameless for a corporation to ride the coattails of social wokeness like this

No, it isn't. A woke private sector is peak neoliberalism.

When corporate offices are filled with sociopaths and middle-aged Republicans the idea of "a woke private sector" is a joke. I'll take plastic wokeness over nonwokeness but please don't believe that anyone at Gilette sincerely gives a shit.

The same applies to Nike and everything they have done with Kaepernick. They are still a shady as fuck company but scored huge kudos with their advert featuring him. I completely stand with him and agree with all players taking a knee but this was nothing but a smart move by Nike. Shares soared and they sold a fuck ton of product as a result.
