Want to see C-level execs get canned. The marketing broad had a boss, the buck don’t stop with her.

There is no solid evidence she was actually fired.

Not coming down on you. Didn’t know if you were joking about it. Approached it the best I could.

All good.

It certainly has always been very low quality beer, that’s for sure.

I wonder how Dylan Mulvaney’s career as a transgender social media influencer is doing?

“social media led” = actual grass-roots conservatives.

NFN but he looks like a good guy enjoying the fact that he’s ending up ahead instead of finishing last as per the famous expression...

According to a report I read late last week, Bud Light had
fallen out of the top ten and was currently residing at
around 14th.

Brilliant people.

Hundreds of people have been laid off. Distilling plants
have been partially shuttered, at a minimum the Bud Light
production lines closed for what they must hope is
temporarily.

I find it’s interesting that they try to blame this on those
dirty old Right Wing Extremists.

Of course Bud and Mulvo had nothing to do with it.

Do they really think everyone checks in with some central
command on the Right to get marching orders?

Many Americans are not into perversion, grooming children.
or the desires of some lost segment of our society.

Media players and a few others are wildly out of touch
with life, reality.

It’s simple. And it is “identity” more than “boycott” in the general sense. People identify with their brands of choice. When the company messes with the identity of the brand, it changes how people relate to it, so they change to a brand more in line with how they identify themselves. Sure, maybe some people are boycotting for social reasons but for the most part it’s just an identity-association relationship that soured. They don’t really care about Mulvaney, and now they don’t identify with Bud Light. Some can call it phobia or whathaveyou but it’s just human nature.

This isn’t the first time and may not even be the worst of bad marketing ideas. There was a brand called United Color of Benneton. Very hot clothing line for a while in the 1980’s. They decided to do a magazine and billboard campaign featuring AIDS afflicted people as clothing models. It didn’t work.

You could flip the script. Many of the great fashion designers are or were gay. Everyone knew it, but nobody really cared because their passion was the design - not the politics or identity of the designer.

The Bud Light controversy has proven to have legs

There is nothing about this that is a controversy.

You made some good points. Thanks for posting.

I think you’re on target there.

Apparently not so well. Sponsors appeared to have dropped him like a hot potato and no new endorsements that I've heard off. Recently, he's been trying to gain attention by bleaching his hair blonde and claiming he's a lesbian, apparently to attract a female partner because males won't touch him with a ten-foot pole.
