Do You APPROVE Or DISAPPROVE of Corporations Advertising Their Products and Services With Transgender Representatives?

Question

MrOracle · Accepted Answer

Companies can do what they like, but if they ever want to see a dime from me, they'll stay WAY far away from anything that even hints at "wokeness" or "identity politics." I don't find it difficult at all to withhold my dollars.

For example, Disney, at one time, used to get about $10,000 a year from me, between Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvell and all the associated products and experiences. For the last 6 or so years, Disney has received precisely zero dollars from me.

Now, Disney almost certainly doesn't care about ME as an individual, and if it was just me, they wouldn't miss my money. But it's not just me, it's a LOT of people, and that number is growing every day.

Likewise, Nike, Levi's, Apple, REI, Ben & Jerry's, The Gap, Netflix, Hershey's, Yelp, and Starbucks will also never get a cent from me. That's also true of Anheuser-Busch, though I never bought any of their products in the first place.

They can choose whoever they want to represent them. We can also choose not to buy their products. I don’t spend my finances at businesses or on products that are made by companies who promote Woke garbage and immorality.

All conservatives should seriously consider doing likewise.

As a consumer, I want to purchase a quality product but I don't want that tied to supporting a political agenda. Fuck AB and fuck Smirnoff. Who needs them?

Of course, it's freedom and it's their business. Trans people are people and have right to work and be successful. But like anyone, they have to make good decisions as well and know their market.

I don't get the backlash with Bud Light. Since such product was introduced long time ago, everyone knew it was "watered down Sh! t.".. direct quote from men that would drink it. It's a beer for sisies, wussies. The real issue is all these men were suckered into paying a high price for a low grade product for decades. When they finally see and associate the reality, that it's a wussie's man's beer, they choaked inside... and there's a backlash. But that is their emotional issue.

I expect regular beer sales to incrase, especially at other brands. So just change the label and move on.

Do I think it was a good idea? No, it was stupid. The whole idea of marketing is to deceive people so they pay a high price for the garbage you produce, good grief. Why would the expose that on the can... that's the other problem, idiot possibly woke marketers that had a personal mission instead of a business one.

Just be conscious of the marketing since "regular" men.. ok those are men that want to put their D into a womans V... don't view trans men as women, they are trans... that's different, that's ok, it's it's own thing.

I don''t mind them doing it, as long as they're not shoving it down your throat and doing because, "Hey! Look at us!! we're woke and we deserve to have you buy our products!!" If they just HAPPEN to hire someone trans to be in their ads and they aren't drawing attention the fact that they ARE trans, that's fine. Using their being trans as a crutch to sell product is NOT fine!! At least not unless it's done in a joking way like, that person being trans is in on the joke. Kinda like when they had Joe Namath sell pantyhose.

How can anyone be in favor of this awful trend that is causing people to ruin their bodies?

This is insane, it's like indulging people who think they are really otters deep down inside and want to get surgery to look like otters.

ShadezMcgee · Answer

I don't care to be real. It is their decision to make a marketing move for their products. Now whether it is a smart one or not is another story.

Personally as a business owner, I wouldn't pander to certain groups or do partnerships with them especially if it can cause political controversy or hurt my sales. I am selling a product, nit trying to get brownie points for pandering.

KrakenAttackin · Answer

Transheiser Busch really screwed the pooch and they are getting what they deserve. I was at Kroger's the other day and there were STACKS of Bud Light in the isle, prime retail space, with about a 40% discount. Regular people are tired of having left-wing, liberal, bullshit, rammed down their throats; and this was a final straw. Fuck Bud Light, this brand NEEDS to be punished to warn other brands. Kind of like going into an insurgent village and hanging a few from trees --- it reminds others of consequences.

bolverk · Answer

I have no feelings about it either way, but if those companies are willing to put their financial viability on the chopping block that's their look out,
Anheuser-Busch is finding out the hard way that it not just one of their products that has been effected but every single product in their range.

Approve. If a company wants to sell rainbow colored socks and tights a transgender person in advertising will fit exactly the target clientele. I guess a company who sells travels to Auschwitz in Israel would use a blonde guy in SS uniform or transgender person for their advertisement, will cause outrage several times bigger than this blue peewasser campaign.

Avicenna · Answer

It's a terrible business decision to align yourself with the transgender craziness and the extremists spearheading it, especially if you're selling consumer products.

Adaeva · Answer

Perhaps if they are selling transgender products, whatever they might be. However, you saw what happened to their sales when Bud Light did it.

coachTanthony · Answer

Go woke Go broke. That ad campaign which they now denounce will go down in history of what not to do in marketing.

Ryfyle · Answer

Some one either grossly over estimated the woke audience, or never lived in the real world in the first place. Dude looks freak and creepy.

LiamJHayden · Answer

I don't care what they do, but you'd think that they'd at least analyze their customer base before doing so.

Anonymous · Answer

They can do whatever they want but if they choose someone BECAUSE they're gay or trans, that's lame af.

PolkSallad · Answer

I love when they are dumb enough to lose billions of dollars.

AngryCarl2 · Answer

I literally don't care. It wouldn't encourage me to make a purchase but I wouldn't boycott the product either.

Tiffany1996 · Answer

approve shows their more opened minded then closed mind. I find it funny people losing their 💩. Someone throwing their stuff out pouring down the drain after buying it.

Anonymous · Answer

Just another symptom of the decay of our out of control fucked up sick society / country.

Summeroflove · Answer

Makes no difference to me at all. Only a bigot would think that doing this is a problem.
