Not drinking a beer may be the one thing in 2023 that makes them feel like they collectively have agency in anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they would be so kind as to explain exactly why they want an apology, how they feel they were slighted, and how they want the apology to read, that would be great. Is it "We at Anheuser-Busch are sorry for making one can for the trans"? "We at Anheuser-Busch are sorry for communicating with a trans"? They didn't seem to do anything else! I think it's actually the first one. It's a bit hazy. I've seen some people want Budweiser to apologize for interacting with Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen some people want Budweiser to apologize for interacting with Dylan Wanting an apology because one single custom can was privately made and sent to one private individual seems like a bitchass thing to kick and scream about. It's not like it was on a store shelf. An influencer holding up a can is NOT "culture you don't like being shoved in your face" "Retarded" is a strong word that I do not use lightly, and in the last five years has nearly exclusively been used only when regarding LABT, but this does seem like a retarded stance to hold, and behavior of the same. Shame. Get it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I agree with. If they think a sales and stock price dip is permanent, more triggering will follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnRogers Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 2 hours ago, That One Guy said: Still waiting for someone to explain why Budweiser making a one-off, single custom beer can for a barely famous tranny, and not promoting it at all, justified an angry yokel boycott. What exact was the boycott about? Associating with one of those people on any level? Are they just excited to have agency with companies for once? Seems like these people have such little economic sway and influence with corporations that they're excited for any small bit at all, posting about temporary stock price fluctuations, it's sad. I was never a Bud Light drinker, I was like a Honey Wheat Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Stout guy when I drank beer. I do understand why Bud Light is getting push-back. Mulvaney is so famous that people who don't know what influencers are know him. The problem was when the Bud Light exec who put all this together doubled downed insulting their core customer base. It is so easy to choose another can of piss light beer to drink, Bud Light didn't think this through. Why do progressives get so pissy when the right adopts their battle tactics?

What insult did this Bud Light executive level at their core customer base? I also don't think you addressed the question at large. What's the source of the irritation? Beer company giving trans person private can? Is that the thing that some of their customers say they should not have done?

I feel bad for the saps that saw Bud Light as some sort of identity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
