I've got more than one finger.You should be pointing the finger at (your choice of) the Religion, and/or the State (the culprits here) and not the Company.
Just because someone is doing worse doesn't equal absolution.

What do you do?
This is a very shallow and reductive a point of view. The truth is much more nuanced. The people who make up wotc probably genuinely do care. They’re also part of a system that puts very strong pressure toward pretty disastrously anti-social behaviors, like accommodating bigots just because they have power and/or you can make more money by doing so.Once again all these corporate pride geastures prove hollow, fake geastures. Its all PR. Same with every other movement they pretend to care about.
Can’t dive into the underlying stuff here, but yeah, this is both the exact problem with the very corporate driven modern American economic system, and exactly why companies like hasbro (which is an award winning company in terms of ethical business dealings) sometimes do things that seem very stupid and are very bad.You lay this out rather well. It is important to not think of "the company" as a person with a will. It is an economic and business entity with lots of entangled responsibilities. They are not, in general, free to act in any old way they please.

I’m aware.Aiming to earn more is not stupid.
I really thought I’d made it clear that I was speaking generally, but I guess not.However, methods are not good, but inherently they are also not (very)bad.
Which is one of the behaviors that the corporate system strongly pressures individuals toward.It is the "do not rock the boat" approach.
A fiduciary is a person who holds a legal or ethical relationship of trust with one or more other parties (person or group of persons). Typically, a fiduciary prudently takes care of money or other assets for another person. One party, for example, a corporate trust company or the trust department of a bank, acts in a fiduciary capacity to another party, who, for example, has entrusted funds to the fiduciary for safekeeping or investment. Likewise, financial advisers, financial planners, and asset managers, including managers of pension plans, endowments, and other tax-exempt assets, are considered fiduciaries under applicable statutes and laws.[1] In a fiduciary relationship, one person, in a position of vulnerability, justifiably vests confidence, good faith, reliance, and trust in another whose aid, advice, or protection is sought in some matter.[2]: at p. 68 [3] In such a relation, good conscience requires the fiduciary to act at all times for the sole benefit and interest of the one who trusts.
"Could." It could rain frogs, too.Oh I agree, but surely the fault in those cases rests on the States with those laws (with the negative stances on LGBTI issues), and not with the companies (who are actively trying to do something positive).
There is only so much you can do as a company. Companies hold a lot of economic clout, but it's nothing compared to the legal and economic (and military) clout of nations.
Turkey (at a minimum) could simply ban Hasbro products from sale in the country as 'LGBTI propaganda' under their morality laws (or simply make new laws). They certainly have form on this (banning LGBTI parades on 'moral' grounds, and banning LGBTI support groups and agencies for the same).
Even though Turkey does not have a specific bans on 'LGBTI propaganda' they do have 'offences against public morality' laws that could be used here (or attempted to be used) and that have already been used as justification to prohibit LGBTI marches and entities.
Hasbro doesnt want to poke that bear, and I can understand why.
