Idk I’ve only ever seen reactionaries whinge about it, to me it’s practically meaningless because it’s not really an effective critique of capitalism, or liberalism in general. It’s the same class of words like “woke,” “SJW,” “PC” etc.
You already mentioned “rainbow capitalism” and that’s already a better word for it because it at least describes it a bit better. That’s just me though
It turns out the word dates back to leftists in the 70s, regardless, I’ve never seen it used in serious discussion in leftist spaces because it’s usually the fascists that are complaining about it

They keep inventing new words, meanwhile we stay with 1800s ahh words like “Bourgeoisie” “ruling class”, this is why we’re based
Yeah we should use “globalist” and “cultural Marxist” too right?
