Did he argue that they should be BANNED from doing it? Not liking something doesnt necessarily mean you dont think they have the right to do that thing. You can criticize the particular nature of something while still respecting, or at least not directly objecting to, the larger system which it exists within. One can object to the bathwater without elbow dropping the baby.

Like being averse to a particular social narrativization while respecting ones ability to spout it.

Yes, but what aspect of gaydom do they pander to?
Does it pander to a particular belief? what does a rainbow flag symbolize? That gay people, exist? That they are not against gay people? Id say its more profiting from victimization. Having a gay character I wouldn't call woke capitalism, but being so focused on it as a revolutionary act of gayness and being very performative, is. In a way, you could see it as monetizing a form of group consciousness, and specifically the act of gaining consciousness itself, not the aftermath of just "being".
I guess the concept of it being a revolution, but also being static causes much of its distastefulness. Oddly enough, this stasis makes revolution become reaction so as to fuel itself. Op's pic for example.

I guess you could think of it as the monetization of static revolution itself. Although not as big of a market, I would also call alt-right stuff following a similar vein.
