    She’s Polish and Columbian Jesus ****ing Christ. You don’t even know who she is. And she is light skinned.

    Yet ANOTHER lefty who doesn't know what cancel culture is.

    NOBODY is trying to cancel bud light, they're just choosing to buy other beer.

    Learn the difference between cancel culture and a simple boycott. If the right were trying to cancel bud light they'd be trying to force them to not be able to sell their beer (you know....to actually cancel them). Nobody is trying to take away their right to sell beer, they're just choosing different beer.

    It's really quite simple but the left is so desperate to project cancel culture onto the right, because deep down they know they own cancel culture, that they completely misuse the term.

    It's crappy beer. Buy Heineken light if you must drink a light beer.

    First she is American. But yes she has some Columbian descent but she also has Polish. Her dad is not Columbian

    Dude, Mulvaney WAS their marketing campaign. Bud used him in an attempt to expand their market.


    What was the Bud Light/Dylan Mulvaney collaboration about?
    Anheuser-Busch partnered with Mulvaney to boost their “Easy Carry Contest,” offering customers a chance at $15,000 for uploading videos of them carrying as many cans of beer as possible. To promote the contest, Mulvaney uploaded a sponsored video in April 2023 in which she appears in an Audrey Hepburn getup and goofs on March Madness; meanwhile, the company released a special line of Pride-themed cans with various pronouns.

    Bud Light can were pride themed several times.

    https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/06/us/bud-light-pride-rainbow-beer-bottles-trnd/index.html

    Where was the boycott that year?

    You've been fed a narrative on this and bought it hook, line, and sinker.

    Most men in Texas start on Bud Light. Beer is an acquired taste, and Bud Light is a good place to start. That was the first one I drank regularly.

    I added Shiner Bock when I was about 25 and switched from Bud Light to Coors Light a few years later. Yuengling makes a good light beer. I'm with you though. I generally just drink regular beer.

    Oh my. Pronouns.
    How insidious.
    And customers carrying as many cans as possible!

    I am just glad to see y’all finally admitting all of this has nothing to do with children though.

    Nope, transgenders are a big part of the conversation on woke. Bud Light might’ve just dipped its toe in the water but they just found out the fun way that a picture is worth a thousand words and the water is as cold as the Rockies.

    In other words, there is no way to minimize going woke any more than a little tiny swastika tattoo would have. Extreme ideology just plain gets that kind of reaction doncha know?

    Extreme ideology is comparing a movement that led to the deaths of over 11 million Jews, women, children, soldiers, civilians, handicapped, gay and trans people to people simply trying to exist.

    But that’s what you people are best at

    Who’s comparing? Nobody’s saying they’re the same. That wasn’t the point. New to analogies huh?

    But I’ll bet you did know, you just have no other idea how to handle my point other than to BS about it. I get it.

    And it requires a special kind of extreme to say the transgenders raping women in bathrooms and prisons and wiping them out in sports and forcing me to use their pronouns and believe they can get pregnant and hosting drag shows for children are “just trying to exist”. LOL funniest absolute you posited since the last absolute you peddled…which wasn’t very long ago.

    Your inability to think has prevented you from seeing why your narrative is wrong. It's also keeping you from understanding the nuance of it all.

    does anybody remember when Coors beer went from being called Colorado Kool-Aid to Scab Piss??

    seems merging with miller was a good move..then Molson came along

    now Molson-Coors is doing fine..and despite being Scab Piss...Coors is still around

    or there is this one too.
    Truth of the matter is that all the mass market beers have advertised to the LGBTQ population for decades. It's just that markets were more segmented back then. now any neanderthal can be told that there favourite beer is , gasp, consumed by gay people, and they will go out with a vengeance to punish that beer for having the audacity to try to sell it's products to the LGBTQ population.

    So, will the OP now boycott Miller?
    What has become painfully obvious now is that when conservatives say "I have nothing against x, as long as they don't shove it down my throat" they are just flat out lying. Or rather they consider someone else just existing as shoving down theirthroat. This was a person that none of us had heard of who is well known uniquely in her tiny niche. A private company hires her as a spokesperson (in as far as I understand a one off campaign). I can pretty confidently say that NONE of you saw her messaging on her TikTok or any other social media (which one has to chose to follow) unless you chose to go there. Your virgin little eyes and children were not subjected to her campaign.
    But this story so offends you that you are all out on a boycott to destroy a hundred and fifty year old company.

    Anyways, while on your rampage, don't forget that most of the products you consume have also advertised to the gay community. Hope the OP is pouring that Miller down the drain as we speak.

    I’ve never seen such an immediate and efficient self own. Bravo! Really. That was impressive
    upload_2023-7-22_12-36-5.png

    You mean your analogy (comparison) of Nazism to trans people? If you had another point feel free to make it.

    Except this is exceedingly rare — in the vast majority of these cases the individual isn’t actually trans and has made no attempts to transition.

    It’s just straight men doing what they have always done — raping women.

    Also not happening, there are something like 12 trans athletes across the country and several of them are transmen (female to male). I can agree that trans people shouldn’t have biological advantages in sports though and it looks like associations are moving in that direction as well.

    No one is forcing you to do anything

    There are no drag shows for children. There are drag shows in which parents can consent to bring their children. There are also drag reading events where again, parents consent.

    I feel like you are missing a few words in this statement as it doesn’t really read correctly as is. Fascinating narrative bro. You definitely made your point!

    Feel free to identify what portion of my “narrative” is incorrect

    They made a single can — and had the individual promote a social media challenge.

    Bud light cans have had the price rainbow on them before. Did you miss the part where the executive whose idea it was insulted the people who drink the beer?

    The other side is even worse when it comes to that though.

    Imagine for example what would happen to Tesla electric car sales if the company announced they officially supported Trump.

    Would they get threatened with investigations like Florida is doing to bud light and farmers insurance for being woke?
