Corporations using memes in their marketing is one step below the annual leeching off of pride month.

Corporations exploit the enthusiasm and passion of developers and designers for their own profit.
This is 1000% a decision people made at lower levels which the corporation allowed. Which is very different than a cynical marketing exec coming up with it.
It is very rare that cynical marketing execs are both that chronically online and in a decision making position that lets them do things that are "risky" or "waste employee bandwidth"
