    Looks like it's the companies fault for allowing the abuse to go on.

    Do you agree the state should use investigative powers against companies that don't tow the line?

    I could say the same thing about those companies in Florida. If they didn't discriminate against other companies and employees, they would not have been targeted by Governor DeSantis.

    The owner pretty much has. The initial statement doesn’t have a factual foundation

    Ok.

    Your angry other people express themselves with purchasing decisions. You would better desire people are forced to buy it and swallow their marketing.

    Always force with you liberals.

    Like, if you don't like what media is broadcasting "change the channel".

    That's what was done.

    You'll have to ask her son. I don't know why she said what she said.

    How does a single can of a TikTok “insult” the red hat base?

    Already losing control of the narrative? This is fast even for you.

    You don't even know the story. I'm sorry. You're only aware of what you've been fed. I can't fix that.

    And I asked you what is the story and the best you have been able to do is regurgitate what you have been fed.

    Thanks for the thrilling conversation and confirmation

    relax man … you do you and let your preferred media tell you how to make decisions in your life … I don’t give a rat’s ass about all the outrage over minor issues … I buy whatever beer I ****ing want and don’t care about their political or social ideas … go put on your Kid Rock cd and bask in the glory of Trumplandia …

    Well if one of the reasons for not drinking Bud Lite is being "woke", you'll have to stop drinking Miller Lite as well:

    While I'm not a beer drinker (can't seem to stand anything grain based, just fruit and honey based), my one wife is, and she doesn't drink most mass commercial beers because they are like making love in a canoe. So Bud and Miller are the same in that aspect.

    If you have problems with men wearing make-up, high heels, and hose, I have bad news for you about the Founding Fathers....

    You know the source and reasons why though? It wasn’t because all wanted to look like women:) Wigs were due to lice. Makeup was to look less gross. Same with hose. Not sure about the heels but probably to appear taller. It wasn’t because they were GAY, hehe.

    What were you Implying Exactly?

    Unique - being the only one of its kind, unlike anything else

    Because a movie about a doll of which more than a billion have been sold over 70 years is "unique".
    Because being the 31st movie about a Barbie doll is "unique".
    Because a movie that hates men just like every other single movie coming out of Hollywood is "unique".
    Because a movie that fosters Chinese propaganda by showing contested parts of Vietnam as part of China is "unique".
    Because bait and switch marketing that completely hides the wokeness of the movie is "unique".

    I will give Barbie props for hiding completely what the movie was actually about. This accounts for the phenomenal opening. Whether people actually like the movie will be determined by what happens next week. If the movie runs off a cliff, it will prove that people were fooled by the marketing, if it does not, it proves that the culture is lost. Progressives forget that "toxic" males are the watchers at the gate protecting Western civilization from the barbarians at the gate. The world has always been and will always be a world of where might makes right. America is able to impose its ideology on the world because it can kill with impunity those that disagree. We are not winning hearts and minds with our ideas, we are doing it with our guns. Never ever forget that.

    In happier news, Bud Light sales continue to crater. It is no longer in the top 10 beer brands sold. There is a chance we can get it out of the top 20 by the end of the year. The dream is to completely annihilate the brand and make it unsellable. That is a message that market cannot ignore. You can have the most sick and demented worldview and we will still tolerate you, insinuating that we are evil because we don't subscribe to it and we will punish you in a way you cannot ignore---- by not giving you our money.

    That people, particularly the more extreme conservative (which are a very loud minority of conservatives overall), are too stuck on what they think is only for men or only for women, and more often than not think that is the way it has always been.

    And actually right now there is a growing trend of males using makeup, not to look feminine, but just to look better. Foundation and such and highlighting.

    Lol.

    All these assumptions to dismiss the fact that people think your ideological values are based on 100% BS.

    Don't you have some protest to go to to defend the rights of people that think they are squirrels?

    Yes some wear makeup. Still very few. Still mostly gay, because a gay man wearing makeup is no big deal. AND LGBT folks or Leftists controlling creative in makeup companies are trying to sell to men to increase bottom lines. Just like Bud trying to sell low cost beer to the LGBT community. Misguided but anything to make a buck.

    Shoot. You didn’t get the new conservative talking points yet? You’re supposed to like it now.

    Yeah. I am sorry, the "we don't mind x, as long as you don't shove it down our throat" and "we're fine with what you do as long as you don't criticise us" routine no longer works. Your words make it clear who you actually are and what you actually want to do. The Mulvaney campaign was through her social media (so only to people who subscribed to her), there was absolutely zero criticism of the straight community, in fact she was chosen, I gather for her very positive, affirming, bubbly posts. So there was zero "shoving down your throat" (you guys really need a less homoerotic term btw) and no criticism of the straight community. No innocent children who might see her ad.
    And yet here we are: YOU WANT TO ANNIHILATE THE BRAND.
    Because they acknowledge that other people exist, and heaven forefend, want to sell their product to them?
    The good thing is that you people have let the mask fall, and can no longer hide behind the bullshit excuse of "we're protecting the children" or "we're reacting to shoving down our throats". no, you have now made it painfully clear that you will punish anyone from the LGBTQ community for endorsing a product, and any company dealing w the LGBTQ community (which they have been doing for about 40 years btw).
    Big fat bigotry duly noted.

    what part of “I don’t care “ are you having trouble with? It doesn’t impact my life whatsoever if people want to identify as something other than what they are … but please feel free to be perpetually outraged by whatever your media tells you to …

    Isn't that what capitalism is supposed to be about?
