how is this not just cancel culture from the right?

I say this who thinks bud light is piss in a can and don't care at all if it dies.

Most people aren’t pissed that BL isn’t espousing right wing propaganda… most people are pissed that they just wanted to enjoy a fricking beer without politics / agendas being involved.

Same reason people have raged against ESPN for turning everything about sports into race and politics, such as the whining the other day that, because black QBs are too successful, the league will put rule changes into place to help out white bots.

I see y'all aren't gonna stop trying, but you're not shaming a bunch of good ole boys into going back with this goofy tactic.

Because it's about personal choice. I haven't heard one person suggest we harass the CEO's family, financial partners, vendors and merchants etc etc. This is nothing like what the left does. People exercising personal choice is not even close to cancel culture.

Just stopping and letting everyone know the reason vs. throwing fits and actually making threats and even acting on some of them.......ummm might be slightly different.

I haven't heard any widespread cries or any sort of movement seeking to force BL from being produced or that the brand cease to exist. It's just a collective group of customers choosing to not purchase the product.

Contrast that with something like Aunt Jemima products where "activist" didn't simply avoid buying the products under that brand. They demanded that it cease to exist...or be "canceled" (ultimately the brand name was changed)

EDT: To put it in the context of beer, virtue signalers didn't simply choose to avoid purchasing Dixie Beer. They demanded the brand name cease to exist. Which is does now. Dixie Beer wasn't some exceptionally great beer. However, it was a historic brand (at least in this region) with a lot of built in nostalgia. Now, under a new brand name (which I can't even remember) the product simply just a forgettable brand in a myriad of non-descript craft beer brands.

Nobody on the right is calling for Bud Light to have their social media accounts banned. Nobody on the right is calling of for Bud Light to have their USDA/FDA/Brewing License repealed. Nobody is calling for Bud Light to be removed from state-approved distribution lists. Nobody is boycotting the bars or stores that still sell Bud Light. Nobody is boycotting a TV channel that carries a Bud Light commercial.

We just simply aren't buying the beer.

I know you see the difference, you just want to be a kunt.
