    It seems you have a lot of vibe beliefs you've never really thought about.

    Should do that. Otherwise it's just reflective conservatism which is why we all assume what we do.

    Conservatives are extremely emotional but have near zero emotional IQ so they lash out in various ways. Tale as old as time.

    That’s the thing, you aren’t espousing moderate political thought. I 100% believe you think you are, but you’re still saying fucked up bigoted shit while not appreciating it for what it is. Get fucked. And you can kindly get the fuck out of Charleston if you’d like to help us with our redneck problem. Fuck you from the liberal peninsula.

    Holy shit this is rich. This board can’t handle even the slightest bit of push back on leftist policy or identity politics without a barrage of insults. Every time I post there is a flood of leftists lashing out at me. I sit here and take it for the most part until I decide to move on and quit engaging.

    multiple things are true

    it's the uppity rich white town in the south very much not known for redneckery, and known for high falutin' brunches and what not.

    it's very fun to visit (or probably live in if you're wealthy and white)

    it's less fun than Savannah or New Orleans, it's much blacker, and funner contemporaries.

    as best as I can tell this talking point is coming from an article that was on Fox News and daily mail where an “industry source” said bud light “could be in danger” of losing the number one spot

    bud light had twice the market share of its closest competitor coors light in 2022. your 25% drop in sales puts it in no danger of losing its top spot. it would still have a massive lead and that’s if you keep up a 25% hit for a year

    sullivan island is where thousands of slaves arrived to america. hundreds of years later you decided to be a bigot about them.

    maybe evaluate your tendencies against the current bigotry arm in America.

    No I don’t. All I’ve tried to convey is that this is a big fucking deal for A-B and maybe someone should have stopped before allowing a potentially controversial ad campaign be ran. No matter how much the ad was fine in principal, it still was against the best interest of the brand given who they sell beer to and how easily replaceable their product is. It was a specific chain of events that caused this. Ford, Target and North Face and the others aren’t going to see the same level of backlash because they didn’t royally fuck it up from all sides.

    Not once did I intend to espouse anti trans rhetoric. I don’t give a fuck about gender or sexuality. What I care about is how something as small as a can and a single post can lead to catastrophic results because of the state of our country. It’s sad. Fascinating but sad.

    why specifically should bud light not be inclusive, be specific here. you also have never addressed the specific requests for examples of why dylan mulvaney was particularly bad beyond some broad rhetorical swipes. post some tiktoks, post some market research, post something beyond vibes.

    Modelo, a superior beer in all aspects, was already coming for Bud Light. This controversy sped that process up. You can’t deny the affect this has had on the market. It’s not just Fox News. It’s all the news outlets.

    its truly bizarre that hes this worked up about the reaction of right wingers due to a manufactured moral panic but can only look at it from one direction

    "the state of our country" when it's just a segment of the population rejecting the inclusive culture most of us want to be a part of, but for some reason it's the vast majorities fault not the bigoted minorities

    Despite my personal thoughts on specifically Dylan Mulvaney, there is nothing wrong with a trans spokesperson. It’s the manner in which this has played out with the ad exec videos and the back tracking after the fact that has caused this. It’s about a failure in how the entire ordeal has been handled.

    Bigots are the problem. But they also buy a lot of cheap beer that helps pay the salaries of thousands of people. If you’re in a tenuous position already with declining sales and fast growing competitors, you can’t piss off a substantial part of your consumer base and expect there to be no consequences…even if you are morally right.

    It happened. Regardless of how it happened, Bud Light is basically giving away their beer all over the country because their sales have declined so much in such a short period of time. We’re talking billions of dollars here. The level of connection doesn’t matter. It happened and they are paying a very steep price for it.

    so maybe lets work down the path of combating bigotry instead of placating them into only acting out worse and with more violence?

    this is why people were showing you comparisons to history with how to deal with these types of violent goons, you don't give them an inch

    Bud Light fucked up regardless of the can of beer and stupid ad. Bigots are the reason the ad became such a big deal. I agree.

    How did Bud Light help themselves by basically firing the ad exec and issuing a half assed statement walking back the connection but still not admitting any fault. They took a bad situation and made it much worse.

    so why are you on like page 9 of giving a shit if bigots being bigots is the initial problem we should deal with?

    you keep going to second or third order issues to obfuscate that, how do you think we should decrease violent bigots having sway in this country?
