Bud Light lays off hundreds of workers after Dylan Mulvaney controversy, losing top spot to Modelo

Untrue.
The outrage was that Chic Fil A, and later the owner on his own behave, was lobbying against equal rights for the LGBTQ. That is pushing your Christian values on others.

 

Let's talk rights

were they trying to deny freedom of speech, religion, gun ownership? What rights were they trying to deny? No Christian would try to silence another person

Bud Light deserves everything they're getting. It has little to do with anti-trans, but more anti women. It was so disrespectful to real women to promote that weirdo who claimed to be a woman in the most bizarre and obscene way, and then claimed to celebrate womanhood. On behalf of a real woman who has experienced womanhood for decades, that was a HUGE insult. **** off Bud Light.

 

I sense the goal posts nudged. All businesses serve all races and genders. Two things divide people, politics and religion. The argument is, some companies feel the need to advertise their political stance on the subject of Transgender, many disagree that they should.

Take Wickes in the UK. The CEO doesn't want customers in his stores if they disagree with this Transgender thing. So I no longer shop there because I'm not welcome. I don't have any phobias, well really not keen on heights, but I can't lie, the CEO of Wickes can't make me lie. So I simply disagree with him, I no longer fund him.

It's called consistency in thought, the opposite is called cherry picking, I'm the former. You often find Left Wing people run on emotions/feelings and thus tend to make up most of the cherry pickers.

 

Bush just tried to market their beer to the trans community, nothing more, nothing less

"Take Wickes in the UK. The CEO doesn't want customers in his stores if they disagree with this Transgender thing."

refusing groups of customers is not the same as accepting all customers

 

Grab a dictionary.

 

Bud Light advertised their stance, Wickes advertised their stance. Many disagree with their stance and so shop elsewhere.

 

In the case of beer, they go to a Mexican beer
go maga

 

I can't speak for the Yanks, that's up to you lot.

Do you disagree that they've gone to Mexican beer or are you MexicanBeerPhobic?

 

you mean they dared to sell to the trans community, that would be like in the past, business that dared sell to the colored community

 

Well, the thing is... right wingers seem to marvel at the idea that their conservatives Christians are hurting a company big time who dares to promote the LGBTQ. And the company that profits from that is a beer brewed in Mexico.


So it's rather telling that conservatives American's rather support Mexico than the LGBTQ.
But I guess it has more to do with them lot not knowing they are supporting Mexico.

 

No, as my posts say, all businesses serve all races and genders. What I said was, they advertised their stance.

Businesses can not fund themselves, they need you, the customer. Retail is simple, just put the item on the shelf and sell it. But then everyone has different beliefs. Would you use a business that openly advertise they support clubbing seals, or they don't wish to serve blacks/whites, or they spend money on advertising you disagree with. Would you buy from a business that supports paedophilia? Many have decided not to fund Bud Light because they disagree with their marketing. But if you don't support Bud Light, you have a phobia, and if you don't support the seal clubbing business, would you have a seal phobia too?

Someone might not be bothered that the business advertised they support seal clubbing, and they continue to shop there despite they wouldn't want to personally go seal clubbing themselves. Others will take exception and boycott them.

 

I suggest businesses keep out of politics and religion. My company brochure does not have people or even their hands etc.. in it. If you're black, white, yellow, orange, tall, short, fat, slim, bald, ginger, pierced or not, tattooed or not, able bodied, disabled, dyke looking, normal looking etc.. Then I'm not gonna have my time wasted by some idiot somewhere complaining that there was a white hand in the brochure but no black ones.

If Bud Light just carried on as normal, no workers would have lost their job, sales would be the same, and dividends to shareholders would be the same.

If you've always drunk Bud and still do, or never have and never will, or never have and started, or always have and stopped, then that is your choice/belief and that's good for you.

 

If you sell something to a wide public, and around 10% of them are from the LGBTQ+ society. And you want to tap into that market, then you can not escape to include them into your add campaigns. Times simply have changed. If you look at sitcoms like Friends, Sienfield, Fresh Prince of Bell Air and the Cosby show,... it's shows a totally segregated society. And yeah. People are noticing it.

While the US is a country where people and companies like to donate to lobby for things. Chic Fil A spend quiet a lot of money trying to take the rights of the LGBTQ away. It is what it is.

 

You tap into markets by keeping out of politics and religion. So where are the Bud Light cans for only whites, or blacks, or those in wheelchairs etc..

Why not have a blue can with Bud Light on the side. Tapping in to a tiny percentage to deter a really big percentage is not business savvy.

My brochures are aimed at everyone, no need to tap in to anything because they're currently aimed at everyone (except the blind and those who don't speak English!!)

 

It doesn't seem you understand that people and companies use funds to lobby, and that won't change because you do not like it.

And the blue can with bud light was always able to be bought. In fact, people who had a problem with Bud Light for hiring somebody form the LGBTQ and had fun shooting at a can as some sort of sick revenge thing,... used them blue cans. You could also wonder why them ultra conservatives got such a problem with a company making some rainbow cans, and employ a person they never saw in their lives and if it wasn't for their own social media uproar they would never have seen her. Are they victims? Does it hurt somewhere? Maybe they should be less of a snowflake.

 

Do you think they were selling BudLight with a picture of Mulvaney on the can?

 

No they weren't. Don't worry mate, I'm fully conversed in the Bud light debacle
