Sounds like you’re still salty for at first thinking it was an energy company and getting publicly corrected. You had no clue what Volt was when you first complained about it.
We have Karl Marx on the canvas, we have the anarchism star, we have info material on climate change and veganism, we literally have legal texts, we have LGBTQ+ statements and flags, not to mention the multitude of national flags and symbols - and you didn’t take offense with any of them. The canvas will always, in part, display political stuff. And what we did was just another logo. No slogan, no content, no call to vote a specific way.
You tried to grief with your 5+ alt accounts, we played fair. At the end our logo came out pretty nicely. And you will just have to live with that.
I absolutely agree that “Trans rights are human rights” shouldn’t be political. It should be absolutely out of question to doubt it even for one second, but here we are in the 21th century and people are still being prosecuted simply for their way of existing. So while the existence of LGBTQ+ people is simply a beautiful fact of life, our ability and will to publicly create and celebrate a representation of them IMHO is inherently political. It is a way for (a / our) society to repeatedly signal to each other how we want to live together. As seen by the fact how uncontested the flags and statements largely were. I’d love to see 9gag try that.

Those can’t be political statements because that’s just plain existence.
