Trans influencers find it harder to get deals after Bud Light’s Dylan Mulvaney fiasco
NY Post ^ | May 18, 2023 | Dana Kennedy

...But now, after the backlash against Bud Light’s decision to partner with Mulvaney on social media and feature her face on beer cans, other trans influencers say they’re feeling the heat as well.

Some told The Post that, at a time when they are usually in high demand — the period leading up to Pride Month in June — brand partnership offers are drying up.

Rose Montoya, who has 1 million followers on TikTok and Instagram, said she’s noticed a big drop-off in the number of deals she’s been offered.

Prior to Pride Month last year, Montoya — a Seattle University graduate who bills herself as a content creator, trans advocate, model and actress — was getting up to 100 brand partnerships thrown her way. Now, she said, it’s been reduced to a trickle of maybe 12 or so offers.

...

While she noted that “the market has also become over-saturated with influencers since 2000,” Montoya added that “the average queer creative makes all their money in June —enough to live on for the rest of the year. And the fact that there’s been a chill probably isn’t helped by the whole Bud Light thing.”

Montoya said that she can get up to $15,000 for a brand partnership. Some of her contracts are for six months at a time, and she hopes to renew one of those soon.

...

“Bud Light lost their conservative demographic but, in their damage control response, they also alienated and lost their queer supporters,” Deran told The Post. “I’ve noticed a shift for sure in the deals I’m being offered. But I hope once Pride Month is upon us, these companies will remember that the LBGTQ+ community has money and power and needs them.”

Imagine a new Bud Light commercial with Kid Rock.

He says “Grandpa’s feeling better today.”

He proceeds to shoot up the Soviet Union flag, then down a red, white and blue can of Bud Light.

He closes “Americans will forgive. So do I. The enemy isn’t our neighbor, it’s Them.” He points to the shredded hammer and sickle.

It would work.

Someone wise me up please. What is the difference (if any) between an influencer and a spokesperson?

Pride Month?

Isaiah 3:9 The expression of their faces testifies against them, And they display their sin like Sodom; They do not even conceal it. Woe to them! For they have done evil to themselves.

What sort of sick, demented person would “deal” with ANY insane “trans” person?

Evil insanity!

One thing I have not heard discussed about this whole Dylan Mulvaney character is that the public character looks like it's tailored to have an audience of minors. Should a person with a following of people too young to buy or consume alcohol be getting contracts with beer companies?

I guess they aren’t as “mainstream” as they imposed/thought/commanded.

This story has it all wrong.

Here's the thing, Bud Light was the first chance for Joe Sixpack to punch down on trannies.

Take this freak show quoted in the article, he is repping: Fenty Beauty, Savage X Fenty, Fluide, Yandy.com, Adore Me, Tomboy, and TOMS Shoes.

The only way Joe Sixpack can protest that garbage is to block his wife's credit card. And maybe he should!

Unfortunately, as he indicated, Montoya can live off just 2 or 3 endorsements (working on the down-low pays him more anyway).

And even then, how cheaply their 'brand' endorsements are bought? And none ask themselves why for even an instant:

So Montoya believes we need his transvestite mutilator community because they have power and money.
