I still can't believe this is happening. Is this how people felt when nazism went on the rise? They couldn't believe people suddenly were promoting mental illness and violence?

How to let your customers and employees know that you are an inclusive organisation with 2 very simple questions. 1. Do you offer your services/products to everyone? 2. Do you offer your employment opportunities to everyone? If the answer is yes to both then you are indeed an inclusive company and there's no need for virtue signaling. Simple, cost effective and controversy free.
But seriously, are the people running these companies dumb? Did they not learn anything from Budlight?

Costa Coffee was today accused of glamourising 'complex and dangerous surgery' by covering a van with a cartoon image featuring mastectomy scars. The UK's largest coffee chain defended its use of the image to promote 'inclusivity and diversity' but was branded 'crass and irresponsible' and 'absolutely bonkers' – and there were calls for a boycott of the company on social media. The image, depicting an androgynous-looking character wearing long shorts with scars below each nipple, is taken from a mural designed by the chain for Brighton and Hove Pride last year. Use of the image on a mobile coffee van used at events around the country was condemned by feminist campaigners and people who had breasts removed due to cancer. Tanya Carter, spokeswoman for child safeguarding campaign group Safe Schools Alliance, said: 'It's almost unbelievable that Costa would do something so crass and irresponsible as to use this image.

Of course a British coffee chain would be Wristcutter Exclusionary. Costa is gatekeeping who is valid and brave.
