It’s fascinating watching Bud Light implode.

It really is. They’ve managed to make everyone dislike them.

‘There’s no way of winning those people over…’ said Mulvaney, which is true. If anything, the public is exhausted by Woke politics saturating the corporate world to the point that some activists have raised the alarm that acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community is going backwards.

Having rainbow logos everywhere and ‘Pride’ themed decorations in every store has not increased supported for the LGBTQ+ community. Instead, it has overwhelmed the general population who find people’s obsession with their sexuality and pronouns not only tiresome, but troubling. The natural reaction to aggressive marketing is to reject the product on offer – and that is exactly what people are starting to do with activist politics.




I guess if this backlash collapses the LGBTQ+ABZ123 narrative I'll buy Bud Light again.

I hope this pisses the LGBT community off even more. Bud Light thinks they can buy them by slapping a rainbow on their can.

It’s so funny watching Bud Light bounce back and forth trying to please everyone.

Bud Lite just doing what every other corporation is doing. Pandering to the wackjob leftists hasn’t hurt Starbucks or Target or NFL etc and every corporation has DIE trash. It is surprising that this tranny can is finally what got traction. This should be response to all the woke corporations.



I think the boycott only got traction because there are other alternatives that are actually superior in quality. People love football for example and the NFL is really the only viable pro football organization. If there was a better league, people wouldn’t watch the NFL.

“Oh boy, I’m gonna run to the store right now and buy a case of those rainbow Bud Lights.”

Said no self respecting man ever.

GLAAD is a pretty militant and aggressive LGBTQ organization. They're also the ones twisting the arms of Hollywood to force in weird LGBTQ stuff.


What I don’t get is how in the hell do these people have the power to twist anybody’s arm? Don’t give them an inch. If you do, they will take the whole thing.

fricking this!

I’m sick of the fricking rainbow shite everywhere. You don’t see me walking around with a “Straight and Proud” t-shirt on. Nobody fricking cares if you like sucking dick and taking it in the arse in private. Just quit shoving it in my face.

because a lot of people are still ashamed to be gay, GLAAD probably knows who that is in Hollywood - in other words they have dirt on people

This is a textbook example that should be taught in marketing classes for years. Don’t pander to politics on either side. You’re alienating potential customers no matter what you do. It’s awesome watching this play out.


I had a date with an advertising exec for a large national brand. She was all in favor of being controversial.

She said she doesn’t care about alienating anyone. X amount of people will leave, sure, but x amoun of people won’t care and they get much more $$$ from the people who do like their message. Their whales if you will.

I'd love to listen in on their marketing conference calls. I bet they are fascinating.

It’s crazy that this small % of the population makes the most noise about their “values”.

Problem for Bud Light is that there are many other beers to choose from. NFL has no other serious competitors and places like Target and Starbucks have a lot of white whackjob leftist women as customers already and other customers who still go there due to convenience. Bud Light doesn't know its customer base.
