You can watch the Fyre Fest documentaries and rightly come away hating all influencers but to their credit they've flourished in a much freer, halfass regulated market than virtually any other recent business. It's just hilarious how people took Bud Light giving a can to 1 person as some larger meaning other than making money, Fyre gave free houses to the music festival to the absolutely gorgeous influencers because they knew a bunch of other idiots would follow. I presume next there's gonna be a nightclub boycott because they only let in guys 1 at a time while letting more girls in.
What about non straight, non white, non christian, etc getting that shoved in their faces for decades?
I had several Bud Lights tonight at a concert and became super gay. Between Saul’s grade-school business acumen (and blatant bigotry) and Big Erin’s galaxy-brained “being intolerant of a bigot makes you a bigot” thesis this thread has been a wild ride.
I’m a Miller Lite guy when it comes to regular domestic type of beer, but I’m probably gonna switch to Bud Light at concerts/games now just because of their stance. If Miller has pride cans or bottles then I’m all about that. Fuck the bigots.
They are - in fact I think Miller was one of the first. Also have continually donated money for LGBTQ+ organizations in multiple cities for the last decade. https://www.molsoncoors.com/tap-into-change
I mentioned it earlier but I worked for Miller Brewing Co, not the local distributor, in the late 90s and early 00s. They were heavily invested in the lgbtq+ community already back then. Bud was too. None of this stuff is new, it's just what the right wants to be mad about this month.
Yea if you're going to boycott beers based off this, you'll end up drinking something like Yuengling all the time. Have fun with that.
just FWIW if you think you're "one of the good ones" because seeing a gay person doesn't make you innately want to drag them behind your F-250 to satiate the bloodthirst of your Christian God, just be aware the rest of us see right through that act when you start to complain about shit like ad campaigns and thinking it has any perceived negative effects on children.
I didn’t know that but that’s great. Fuck all these bigot assholes. They need to know that the majority of people here support the lgbtq+ community and that their bigoted views don’t matter.
Also fuck these assholes saying it’s because they want to protect their kids. Their kids are going to be their own person. My son just turned 3 but if he decides to come out as gay or trans or whatever then I’m going to love and support him no matter what. They don’t give a fuck about the children they just want to prevent kids from being themselves. Same as with women’s rights. It’s all about control with these fucking idiots.
the question isn’t what are you selling, or-or-or, what service are you providing, the QUESTION is, what do you stand for? who are you, bagel bites?
Anybody who says something like, "I think people should do what they want, but don't throw it in my face," is a bigoted piece of shit and just afraid to admit it.
Fun to think about "throwing it in my face" was sending a single can to a woman who then posted about in on TikTok
Basically all the face throwing/throat shoving of the LGBT community upon conservatives is from other conservatives. Hunting for LGBT content is like a full time job for an army of conservative shitposters.
99% of the shit conservatives see about LGBTQ support isn't coming from those companies and influencers, it's fucking Fox News and right wing media social media rebroadcasting that thousands of times over. These inbred knuckle-dragger morons can't even understand that they're being made to rage by people much much more richer than them.
This is true. Every now and then I'll throw on one of those free Plutotv channels that's flooded with right wing nonsense for a good laugh. The Blaze for example is wall-to-wall sky screaming about trans people being groomers with a sprinkle of ads begging for them to buy doomsday buckets for $79.99. All they have for content is complaining about LGBTQ+ rights. No actual substance whatsoever.
guy would happily lick trumps taint but has the audacity to criticize Bidens mental faculties. like we all didn’t listen to that shit stain struggle with the English language for four years.
I forgot how amazing 10 Bud Lights and an Everton relegation saving victory taste early in the morning
“Look, I am not condoning the bomb threats. I just think it’s interesting those woke companies keep deciding to be so in the face of these people who they knew would react like this. I don’t support these people, but Target should have known better than to try to be inclusive.”
“look, if one track star hadn’t won a medal, this shit wouldn’t take place. it’s THEIR fault for pushing it down our throat.” -Ern McCracken
Please don’t give me a reason to eat chick fil a more than I already do. I do not want to buy new pants
I don't keep up with any of this stuff, usually hear about it after the fact here or whenever I get together with my wife's family. Apparently this weekend I committed a hell-worthy trespass of spending 11 dollars at Target on Saturday. Meatball and his friends were hanging out at a local shopping center and I was supposed to meet him there to take him home. Got there a little early and bought some toiletries. Wife gave me the biz when I got home..."You can't shop at Target blah blah blah"
pretty much my reaction....the funny thing is I thought Meatball and his buddies were inside so I did a quick lap around the store and ran into another group of kids around the same age and one of them was getting off his phone and telling his buddies "My mom says she doesn't want me spending money here..." didn't think anything of it at the time.
she has for years, I don't remember all the reasons but she has never liked that store. Think she had some trouble returning something there like 15-20 years ago and they gave her a hard time about it and she has never forgiven them for it or something like that
so we are at the point now where we're branding people because she doesn't like a particular store? cool.
