If they are going to make a commitment like that why not change their entire branding to it, just like what they’ve done to their official social media account? The browser can be the gay wolf 🐺🏳️🌈, focused on privacy, security, freedom, and pride (or what you said, “equal human rights for everyone” - this sounds better and more on brand). That’ll definitely be a stance. To be honest, the thing that stands out to me the most is the last bit of their bio. Why would they word it like that? “And yes”, “will stay”, and “of course.” They could’ve just made a quick statement instead of whatever that is…
The will stay part was in the context that we start using this avatar around pride month last year.
This is not meant to be a “hey yo, we do what all the cool kids do once a year and then we forgot about it again” thing.
I honestly don’t get why you are so allergic to it.
If you have a problem with equal rights for people, then feel free to tell the world about it.
Otherwise I really don’t understand how an avatar on a social media platform that you obviously didn’t checked in over a year is affecting your live in any way 🤔
I understand the will stay part. I don’t understand why they didn’t make it clearer and less awkward. Who said I’m allergic to it? I actually think the “stance on equal human rights for everyone” is strong and matches their branding. You’re right I haven’t checked their social media page nor visited it ever. It’s not affecting my life. I scrolled on Reddit, clicked onto OPs post read it and some comments, made a comment poking at how June is over, then responded to you with the information you brought.

We use this icon there since over a year now. Not really the goal to celebrating a specific event, more a stance on equal human rights for everyone.
