i very much agree that chikfila is a harmful company we shouldn’t support but i’ve gotta say. some people do think it tastes good, even really good. some people don’t feel like copycat recipes taste as good as their food. we should still boycott chikfila. a company that makes the best food you’ve ever tasted, that truly has no equal outside of their stores, who also donates to orgs that want queer people dead, should still be boycotted.
its not Bad or anything to shit talk their food or share copycat recipes. but like 1. we don’t need to act like we’ve never enjoyed something now labeled harmful, as if saying you always hated That Thing makes you morally superior. we need to be more comfortable saying “i like this product, but now i don’t support its creator anymore so i wont engage with it on principle” and 2. the quality or uniqueness of the product is completely irrelevant to the boycott. people do this with celebrities/creators who are called out too & it annoys me cause you do not get bonus Morality Points for acting like harmful people are incapable of making genuinely good, enjoyable things. it does not promote healthy relationships with art or any kind of product to act like quality is tied with morality even if you don’t mean too.
remember when everybody on this website was in high school but like now if i see somebody on here thats in high school im like jesus christ…. are u okay how is that going for you….
