What's your opinion on the Bud Light and Dylan controversy?

Couldn't care less who they partner with.

But its also funny that the CEO said they wanted to ditch the "fratty image" and steer away from being associated with most of its existing customer base.

Then said they wanted a more "inclusive" image.

Then acted all surprised when the people they disassociated with stopped buying their product.

Its like if Taylor Swift decided not to be a pop/country star and became the new singer for Arch Enemy, she'd probably lose a huge portion of her fanbase.

Arch Enemy is a Melodic Death Metal band for context.

Being a CEO or owner of a reputed company you must just not touch and stay away from certain topics like politics and religion

Your audience or customers would probably have large numbers of people from either sides of the topic.. so if you act foolish and pick a side you'll automatically lose a lot of customers.. especially when there are tons of other alternatives to your product..

It didn't take much time for millions to quit Bud light and stick to the other brands and the decades of effort behind Budweiser went in vain in just 30 hours

It's disgusting. I refuse to drink any bud in the future that's made by Anheuser-Busch. Go woke, go broke. Anyone that puts a trans on the face of their brand loses my respect. On another note, trans should not be allowed in sports of either sex. They can have their trans sports if they want though. The world is falling apart

Yeah agree, I hate it when trans guys destroy real woman in women's sports

Pretty outdated at this point, but it started a good movement on pushing back against all this forced stuff. It showed these things can be successfully boycotted even if that's not entirely true. The reason the Bud Light boycott is so effective is because you can easily mock your mates for drinking the gay beer.

[DextroShade]

That and there are so many alternatives for cheap crappy beer.

I don't have an issue with trans people until they start pushing their bs on kids or invading women's spaces. if you want to be trans be trans just leave people the hell alone. if you want to be gay be gay just leave people the hell alone. if you want to be straight be straight just leave people the hell alone. don't push your shit on everyone else especially children. I drink occasionally but I haven't bought nor will I ever buy from bud or any of its affiliates

[DextroShade]

They are tied with Disney for the greatest example of a brand forgetting who their customers are and essentially committing suicide. The people who like Dylan Mulvaney aren't the same kind of people who drink Bud Light. Companies have lost billions of dollars alienating their core customer base in attempts to appeal to a small number of woke losers.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I don't drink beer and that Dylan dude is a train wreck. Even if he were a chick, doesn't change anything, because I hate chicks that act like him, too.

It is nice to see companies that try to show how woke they are lose a bundle of money. I already have a pretty long list of companies that I boycott. I am not the only one.

[The-Stud]

Never used to drink Bud light anyways but they just lost so much and all their efforts of decades within like 30 hours

You know what they say... know your audience first

[rigmarole]

InBev sells tranny piss. It's what they serve in gay bars.

[Danny_dan92]

It was extremely tone deaf on bud light’s marketing team

[LiamJHayden]

Unforced error by idiot marketing people who failed to understand their customer base.

[goaded]

The right cancelled them real good. They're so proud! Wait, isn't the right against cancelling people? Oh, no!

[KrakenAttackin]

Fuck Tranny Light.

Budweiser really screwed up.
