Bud Light is done

[gardentiger]

Bud Light is now getting Cancelled and Boycotted by members of the LGBT and Trans community.

A prominent LGBT magazine, Advocate, is accusing the beer brand of “validating trans hate.”

In an article in the magazine, LGBT PR Exec John Casey accused the brand of being “inauthentic” for failing to defend Dylan Mulvaney in the midst of the backlash.

He said: “Anheuser-Busch poured alcohol all over an extremist's fire, and that will continue to singe our community.”

This comes after the brand experienced a 26.1% drop in sales vs the same period last year.

People boycotting , all they are doing is hurting the guy who drives the forklift. You're not hurting the suit and ties .

The guy on the forklift is much more resilient in terms of specialized job placement. Allysa Shadenfreud won't find another job like she had at A-B.

The boycott sends a message. Initially it was a message from the right to other woke corps. Now the left is involved. If you are a large consumer product type company do you want to try this? How about stick to what you know and provide an excellent product?

A few suit and ties have been fired. I would say that is hurting them. Forklift guy is still there. Its a multi billion dollar company they can afford to pay the forklift guy.

This is hurting the distributors the most imo. And they have the ear of corporate and corporate fired the lady in charge of the campaiggn. Id say its working quite well.

Both her and her boss "took a leave of absence".

Its just mind-boggling that this over educated idiot actually thought that was a good idea. Like I said in another thread, it would have at least made sense if it were the flavored Bud Seltzers.

In response to the backlash, Mulvaney has made veiled threats of retribution to anyone, but specifically women, who disagree with him.

I think AB as a company and the Busch family specifically are pretty conservative.

It seems some morons in marketing pulled this stunt without other leadership approval/involvement.

Morons in marketing get a LOA which may be permanent.

Conservative AB leaders probably fuming at the fallout.

LoL something tells me they'll be just fine, OP.

She got her 15 mins of fame. She'll do intros at the local drag queen hour at the library. She's an alternate reality hero.

Got a good LOL out of this throwback Bud Light commercial.
