    Deadnaming a megacorp is a PR/branding/market positioning issue, which is s completely corporate, for profit process - and the micro-decisions are based on & result in ultra-processed slop/end branding campaign designed to increase revenue.

    People just trying to live with themselves don’t do that.

    (Ok, I’m sure someone in a country without a McDonald’s legally changed their name to “McDonald McRibs” just prior to McDonald entering their market to get a quick micro-settlement pocket change from the franchise, but it would be morally wrong to use that as an representative sample. In about the same way equating megacorp deadnaming to actual human deadnaming would be.)

    Also never boot-lick megacorps, they aren’t your friend & they don’t need your help (just want it bcs it’s free labor).

      I’m not defending corporations. I’m asking where the line is, for you. It seems to be “when I can justify it”.

        that’s like saying don’t have sex with consenting adult, because it justifies having sex in general, including non consentual.

        It can’t seem to be that from what I’ve written.

        It’s clearly “when it’s a person”.

        That’s where the very clear and unambiguous line is.
