Your thoughts on boycotting companies who support LGBTQ+?

[Exterminatore]

As most of you are aware, there have been recent boycotts against Anheuser-Busch and Target in response to Anheuser-Busch using transgender Dylan Mulvaney for a marketing campaign and Target selling transgender clothing items.

This far, Anheuser-Busch has lost $27 Billion in stock value as of 06/02/23:

Target has lost $13.8 Billon in stock value since 05/31/23:

About the parades I mean.

The rest I disagree with. The hide the penis clothes marked at children is reprehensible at best.

[disgustingweebtrash]

Stock value means nothing. Revenue loss is the important thing to look at. There are plenty of companies listed on the stock market with billions in value of the stock but likely dont even break a billion in actual annual recurring revenue. Also normal people aren't all that aware of how companies operate. People might stop purchasing bud light but will purchase corona beer which is owned by the same company.

[Exterminatore]

I think in either case, let those of us who are against this be heard and render at least some effect.

[RavVid]

Ah I love Go Woke Go Broke, riches to rags stories. Companies really have no business politicking and it is good to see lesson being administered. Why should consumers care about the employees when the management cares more about politics than they care about their employees?

[Exterminatore]

Great point!

[RavVid]

I don't if you have see the Netflix meme Polar Bears A Documentary.

I'm adopting this as my Woke jibe and have it printed on a t shirt. I might have got a Bud Lite image if I knew about it earlier but in Australia this something happening in the US.

Damnit. Bud Lite is too good to miss. Need another t shirt.

[MzAsh]

Target couldn’t care less. Their “loss” is nothing more than a crop dust in the wind to them. CEO explicitly stated the doesn’t gaf about boycotts. They’ll bounce back easily if they haven’t already.

[Exterminatore]

I bet their shareholders were happy to hear that!

[MzAsh]

Yeah. And don’t get me wrong. I personally think they went too far. I mean Pride us one thing but we don’t it marketed it to children. That’s just weird. Also, if they’re going to do Pride in their stores then they should stand firm in it instead of rushing their clothes to the back of the store so it won’t piss people off. They’ve put their workers at risk to where they’re experiencing harassment, dealing with bill threats, etc. and they’ve shown that it’s all just about money for them and they’ll just do whatever sell.

[MzAsh]

Bomb threats

[Exterminatore]

As much as I disagree with the homosexual lifestyle I likewise disagree with bomb threats and harassing employees. Like the dude at the cash register sets Target’s policies. People who do that crap are more dangerous that what they are to be against.

I think it’s kinda lame Target sold out, they did go to far, yet I’m a sell out too.

I won’t buy Coke cause they told their employees to be less white.

I won’t buy Gillette because of their toxic manhood commercial.

Won’t shop at Target or buy Anheuser-Busch products. For their stunts.

Yet Amazon and the NFL also support Pride, however my hypocrisy knows no bounds, as I will bend the knee there. I simply cannot do without either as I see it. So, standing for my principals only goes as far as mild inconvenience with me apparently.

I do think marketing it to kids went too far. Most people haven’t figured themselves out until their mid twenties or older. Let’s not go chopping off anything or sewing up anything until we firmly know who we are and what long term consequences we will accept or not.

[ChooChooHaha]

thank you.

[ChooChooHaha]

It's worse than weird. weird is unorthodox shit. It's wrong, it's creepy, it's terrible. All that's left is to up the brainwashing, and have it lead to physical abuse, like child abusers all over do.

[DarkWinterNights]

They actually lost 20% of their stock value from this and it hasn’t recovered.

[ChooChooHaha]

Perfect.

[Karen444]

This has nothing to do with money, right or wrong. It's about building your social credit score.

ESG

Environmental, social, and corporate governance

In America it's happening at the company level. In China it's happening at the individual level.
The next phase will be to get rid of paper money. After that, we will all be under government control. No bullets for Bob, and no donuts for Daisy.

So why all the trans stuff? Communism is about dividing and conquering. CRT is one of their best tools. It makes white children ashamed of their own race.
Don't say "Target couldn't care less" Of course they care; they're in the business to make money. They don't want to lose billions in market share.

Think of it like the mafia selling fire insurance to your corner store. Do you pay, or do you burn?

[MzAsh]

In recent news, CEO Brian Cornell maintains the stance that focusing on diversity is a “good business decision.” Take that as you will.

[Exterminatore]

@Karen

You have some good points. Well said.

[Karen444]

@Exterminatore

I'm 100% correct. Companies don't lose billions on accident. This is the new world order. The NWO doesn't give two shits about the LGBTQRS. The NWO just wants to divide us. Their goal is to have the "Haves" and the "Have Nots


Communism has never worked, but they keep trying to reinvent the wheel.

[ChooChooHaha]

100% they dgaf. So true.
Same with the shortages and phasing out across the board.

[Lliam]

Corporations do this because of the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) system that is pushed by organizations like World Economic Forum and the International Business Council.
Companies are threatened with lower credit ratings and other punishments if they do not comply.

So these companies are not "woke", they are being coerced by the threat of economic damage.

I think this is an even better reason to boycott. I'm definitely not on board with radical LGBTQI+++ and child grooming but, more importantly, not submitting to the globalist agenda is essential to life and liberty. The only way to resist these evil fucks is to be informed and to thwart their attempts at social engineering by refusing to comply.

I've been aware of this for a while, but I just found this article with a quick search. It does a good job of explaining what's going on. You should really check it out.

It's a real thing, not a conspiracy theory.

[ChooChooHaha]

CT = not an argument.

[Exterminatore]

Well said. I was unaware. Thanks for sharing.

[ChooChooHaha]

lol, no worries. Cause consider it, right? How many times have "conspiratorial" things been proven?

[Exterminatore]

That was meant for Lliam, however I thank you for your comments also.

If someone can’t look at what’s going on today and realize something is very wrong and that much of this is not by happenstance then they’re fools.

I mean…. we just let a Chinese spy balloon fly clear across the country…. and did nothing…. until it went across the country. Incompetence? Not on that level. That’s not an accident. Someone allowed it.

Then we have what certainly looks like the manipulation of the international markets…gold and silver fluctuations on the commodities markets so bad I’m getting sea sick…. yet we hear about banks buying up as much silver and gold as they may. Coincidence? My dying ass it is. They’re tying to get people to panic and sell their so they can buy it up when all the fiat currency becomes worthless.

[ChooChooHaha]

S' also true about the compliance. 100%!

[Leapfrog00]

I think it's ridiculous myself that companies target certain audiences in the first place. Last year someone asked me if I ever written any gay characters in my novels, and I said no, but it's a good question, and really, I would not want to put a gay character in a story just because it's "The right thing to do," or to "Support" gay rights, like all these other morons do. I would never write a gay character because I feel like I should, but because I want to. I have one character that is bi-sexual, but I do not make any special exceptions.

These companies are profiting off of people because they're "Different". So many people already feel like outcasts anyway. I would rather stand out, than fit in with a bunch of norms. Sometimes people think I'm gay because of my goth look, and they use words like queer. I would be offended if I actually gave two shits.

Yeah, I think these companies deserve all that's happening to them. They care nothing about LGBTQ people. I don't have any romantic attraction toward the same sex, but I wish they would just be happy with themselves, and not let other people bother them. Everyone is different.

[Exterminatore]

Fully agree.

[stepyo99]

I try to do it, but I think you have to approach it from the right mindset. For me, I don't even entertain the idea of these boycotts ever working to change the corporation's position because:

A) Almost every corporation supports pedos or queers or BLM or illegal aliens or some other globohomo agenda, good luck boycotting everybody.

B) Some of these international mega-corporations have more money than God, so good fucking luck affecting their budgets in any way.

C) Even if some company was seriously financially threatened by a boycott, the government will say they're too big to fail and bail them out and the government has infinite money.

D) Most of the people in those companies are true believers and will gladly take a financial hit in the name of "being on the right side of history".

E) The United States is fucked. Half the country is 100% on board with the globohomo agenda and will gladly purchase twice the amount of goyslop to make up for your boycott.

So why do I boycott these companies anyways even though I don't think the boycotts work? For my benefit. Instead of trying to affect change at the top, I work to give money to local small businesses who hold like-minded opinions. I try to make myself more self-sufficient. I work to develop better and healthier hobbies that take the place of binge-watching garbage propaganda. The boycott isn't to change the business, it's to change me.

[Exterminatore]

Unfortunately I believe you are quite right.

[pervertedjester]

The Tuck controversy aside Target's never been a relaxed store to shop in. (I think all the red makes people hostile.) To me it was always just a brighter more expensive K-Mart with a shitty attitude. So boycott or not I won't be shopping there any time soon.

Bud Light caught me off guard a bit. I would drink it every few holidays or so. Yet I would come to find out I was more upset about Amy Schumer being involved in an earlier ad campaign than Dylan. I just can't stand her celeb persona. She is the unfunny and grating version of Lisa Lampanelli. After that I dumped the 3 bottles I had left from March 17. Shortly after I found a more cost effective way to drink with less trips to the head.

I only feel bad for the employee's caught up in this. As far as the Companies go, I'm happy that the trend cracked under their feet. Although I find Disney to be the most entertaining company in the group right now. It's easy to boycott businesses as long as there are options. Even more so when prices go up and value over cost becomes more important.

And since there's a writer strike on, it's the most entertaining news I've read lately.

[Exterminatore]

Disney is a bunch of loons.

[rigmarole]

I don't think you should boycott them. I just think you should never do business with them again. There is no negotiating with woke World Economic Forum companies that seek complete enslavement of humanity under their rule. If you are a free person, then your only option is to not finance them at all. Their companies need to be bleed dry. You can't run a boycott to change an aspiring dictator's motivations. They might back off their propaganda messaging for a little bit, but their over all goal is to own you as property. If you want to stay free, then those tyrants need to be destroyed. Every penny you give them, they will use against you to strip you of your freedom.

[Exterminatore]

I fear you are right about this.

[Karen444]

I just watched an interview with Riley Gaines. She was a champion swimmer, who quit and is now an activist. All she wants is for women to be able to compete against other women, and not compete against men pretending to be women. In this recent interview, she said that all her life she thought that boycotts were bad. But now she said that the government has no intention to stand up for women's rights, because they fear the woke. So now she is calling for a boycott to help return women's sports to women.

[Exterminatore]

Agreed and I cannot think of a greater injustice regarding this matter than the invasion of women’s sports by men robbing women of the right to compete against women in their own sports.

I stand with all women against trannies on this one.

[Karen444]

I just heard of another women’s team. I didn’t catch what it was, but they played for the YWCA. Everyday some freak dude showed up and took showers with the women. They didn’t even know who he was. The girls went to the coach and asked him for help. The coach agreed to put an end to this.
Meanwhile, the girls put up posters saying that the women’s locker room was for women only.

The coach saw this, and asked who was responsible. One girl raised her hand. She was kicked off the team. I was so disappointed that the other girls didn’t side with her and quit.

So the girl had to leave, and the pervy guy got to stay.

[Exterminatore]

That is absolutely outrageous. Imagine that. Women not wanting strange men in the shower with them. The nerve of them.

I love how we just inconvenience the many and trample on their rights to accommodate the very few.

[Karen444]

Put this into your Googler

Santee YMCA allows naked man to use women’s locker room with underage girls

It's way worse than you think. This also includes campouts etc.

[DarkWinterNights]

I think it’s important to look at exactly what the companies did to attract these boycotts.


Bud Light picked a very controversial individual who repeatedly made a mockery of women to represent their brand. Even though Mulvaney’s target audience minors, (which is creepy enough) Bud Light is a beer company trying to appeal to underage minors. Then they insulted their primary customer base on top of all of that.


Target decided to put “tuck friendly” children’s clothes front plane center of their pride displays. Which shocked normies who don’t pay attention to cultural politics. Target was already reporting losses before any social media groups started picking up on the story.


The real question is why the hard push to involve children in all these explicit topics?

[Exterminatore]

Agreed and the answer to your question is the deliberate attempt to indoctrinate children. To pervert their minds before the reach an age of being able to think this through for themselves - somewhere in their 20’s for most of them.

They are attempting to create gays and trannies.

[ChooChooHaha]

They're attempting to create trannies. But worse. They're trying to destroy us all.

[Exterminatore]

These no doubt they are trying to create trannies. That’s the reason for trying to expose such material to people not mature enough to handle it. Get them when their young and imprint these ideas into the core personalities at a very young age.

[SmokinAces2000]

What exactly would people gain from “creating” trannies?

[Exterminatore]

Trying to popularize it and make it wide spread.

[DarkWinterNights]

@SmokinAces2000, Any number of things. Population control, pharmaceutical dependency, societal demoralization, ideological subversion, etc.

[SmokinAces2000]

@DarkWinterNights all of those just sound like conspiracies

[ChooChooHaha]

He's right @SmokinAces2000. Not an argument to call it a "conspiracy," by the way. Just a way to try to dismiss an argument you can't get out of. Furthermore, HOW MANY TIMES have the dismissals been proven right? Ever hear of Yuri Bezmenov?

[SmokinAces2000]

@ChooChooHaha who said I was arguing against it? Everything he mentioned literally sounds like some paranoid conspiracy theorist shit I’ve heard 1000 times. How is it that people take a bunch of things that have nothing to do with each other and come to these exact same conclusions that he mentioned?

[ChooChooHaha]

Again, not an argument to call him a CT.

Besides, take down the definition. "Conspiracy" = 2+ people plot to commit a crime. A theory is still backed up.

Calling anyone a name isn't an argument. Just a way to try to deflect.

I don't know about people, but realize how many times the dismissal has been proven CORRECT. I don't know in general, but in this case, he's correct.

On the surface, maybe not. But do a little legwork, realize how far the reach is of the powers that be. Does that make them wrong in their overall point? The powers that be want power and control and are trying to keep it.

Yuri Bezmenov, ever heard of him?

[DarkWinterNights]

I didn’t say any of that was actually happening. I was just suggesting possibilities.

My conspiracy theory about conspiracy theories are that the most ridiculous (like flat earth) are created just to discredit some of the more likely ones. After all, conspiracies are real and do happen. In fact- if nothing else, I’ve learned from Covid is there are a lot of very evil people with god complexes in power that feel they should rule over the masses. And that never ends well, in fiction or reality.

[lightbulb27]

I haven't had to, those companies mostly I didn't go to anyways. Target... I find they are "just doing pride month", which to me is BS and offensive because noone explains what that plus is about, and I suspect some of this is mental illness. But I accept people, everyone has their issues and needs. if they have specific needs and section of clothes, so be it. But doesn't have to be in my face everywhere.

Bud -could care less except for the workers losing their jobs and the hands of the idiot marketers and execs whom appear to be keeping theirs. Sick... pay the workers and cut your bonuses/salaries.

Nike - no idea, don't buy their expensive stuff.

you said it best below...

[Exterminatore]

Agreed. Well said.

[DubiousIntentions]

I don't drink beer or shop at Target so my boycotting either is moot. But I agree with it. But is it any worse than people committing adultery or having threesomes or BDSM? All these things were being done in Sodom and Gomorrah when God rained down judgement on them. So I ask again, how is LGBT any worse a sin than the others mentioned?

[Exterminatore]

It certainly is no worse the fornication which is wide spread among heterosexuals. I think as a duty to Christ we must all stand against all sin.

[Anonymous]

The boycott against Anheuser-Busch was not mainly over using transgender Dylan Mulvaney though it did amplify the boycotts effect, but more because the the VP who was heading the advertising for Bud Light insulted its customer base and she thought she could do no wrong, and when the Boycott started instead of offering a full apology she doubled down on the advertising, and the guy who replaced her did the same thing, and the Boycott spread to other Anheuser-Busch brands.

As for Target they were just tone deaf and bot listening to their customers.

[Exterminatore]

Agreed.

[Meropatrick]

I support it wholeheartdly enough with this shyt already. Enough with corrupting the mind of the youth. Enough with the elites benefiting from it. Its becoming a new religion that no one is allowed to dispute or disagree with. Jk rowling was burned on stake for speaking up against it

[Exterminatore]

Fully agree.

[Miristheiss]

MAKE GOOD PRODUCTS

SELL YOUR PRODUCTS

STAY OUT OF POLITICS!!! Bud, Target, Ben and Jerry's would be doing fine... but they wanted to play politics.

[Exterminatore]

Agreed.

[richardcory]

I'd only boycott a company if they did things that directly harmed people. Supporting LGBT... doesn't harm anyone as far as I can tell.

[Exterminatore]

Meh…. Do we need to hear about it 24//7/365? If it’s not the gays it’s the race issue. Hurts me cause I’m tired of both issues popping up on the news incessantly and further more both issues are stupid anyway.

[exitseven]

I would not do that. I would object if a company uses their platform to push an agenda that I do not approve of. Bud Light tried to do that. Coca Cola did as well.

[Exterminatore]

Yup, and as a result I will buy neither along with Gillette for their cute toxic manhood commercial and most especially Coke for telling their white employees to be less white.

They don’t need my money and all have competitors that make good products.

Only problem is pretty much every company supports the gays, so I just limit my boycotting to any company who now attempts to continue to cram this down all of our collective throats as it’s become tiresome.

[exitseven]

I have no problem with LGBTQ or black people or hispanics, I object to the liberal agenda that is designed to be divisive. I gave up on football when the NFL decided it was okay not to stand for the national anthem. They have the right to do that but I don;t have to watch it.

[Exterminatore]

Agreed.

[OlderAndWiser]

Agreed!

[ChooChooHaha]

There's an apt name for the powers that be on that.
The globohomos.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

The reality is every big company is going to support LGBT to some extent and we have to live with that.

As long the company doesn't target kids with sexual BS or promote Satanism then I won't boycott it.

[Exterminatore]

Yeah, but I suspect if this happened to 2 or 3 other companies it would be enough of a message to silence the rest.

[InsecureLivesMatter]

I've definitely boycotted Target and the Dodgers.

[ChooChooHaha]

It's the supporting of fucking with children. I'm bi, the shit's not to be had.

[Exterminatore]

Fair enough. Sexuality is conversation and concern for teens and up. Not 5 year olds. Their concern should be which cartoon they like best, and not worrying about these complex issues.

[ChooChooHaha]

It's WORSE than weird. It's wrong. And it should be, in a basic sense, on sexuality, pubescent and up. The farther along, the more you go. Still minors these teens. It's not the complexity of it, cause if they can surprise you, it's a basic right/wrong thing. NO SEXUAL SHIT IN THAT RESPECT. NOT THE KIDS. It's already rampant af, it's not to be had at all. As my favorite streamer says, YEET THEM! RIGHT INTO THE SUN!

[ChooChooHaha]

Yeet the abusers, that is.

[Exterminatore]

Lol. I think it’s complex to a kid. If I had an uncle that liked to wear dresses when I was 5…. I’d be completely confused. Wouldn’t matter how much I was told it’s normal or whatever, I can look at it with my own two eyes and see something is very abnormal with what I’m seeing and the explanations are not matching my gut instincts or jiving with what I’m being told.

Or if I say had an uncle who married a man…again, I’d be very confused at that age.

Further more I’d be annoyed cause I’d want to play with my Star Wars action figures and not bother with that adult business.

Maybe that’s just me though.

[dolemite58]

i don’t get the whole thing of companies engaging in social politics. I just want to buy a chicken sandwich if it tastes good i don’t care if ur jesus freaks or flaming gay liberal arts majors just make the sandwich and leave me out of it.

[Exterminatore]

Totally agree. Just sell your crap and stay out of politics.

[Dargil]

I don't boycott. I Buycott. Modelo. My pillow. I support whom I agree with.

[Exterminatore]

My fridge is full of Modelo as we speak.

[Dargil]

Drinking Bud Light? Eliminate the Middleman and pour it in directly the hopper.

[Anonymous]

I'm not "supporting" LGTBQXZY. But I got better things to do then to go out of my way to pick a fight with someone. I'm going to buy what's most economical, even if it has a rainbow on it.

[Exterminatore]

Seems logical and reasonable to me. Amazon supports them. Can’t do without Amazon. Prices on anything can potentially be found cheaper there, variety is unlimited, and even free shipping gets here in like 2 days.

Will I boycott them? No. What about the NFL? Nah. I love football too much.

Anything I can do without I will though, as to not support this mindless agenda. However there is no real alternative to Amazon or the NFL, so they got me by the balls.

The bottom line is I wouldn’t care about it at all but these people will not simply shut up and have to keep ram rodding it up our asses day and night, so now, yeah, I’ll boycott some stuff.

Coke and Gillette being the exceptions. Coke telling its employees to be less white, yeah they can kiss my ass. Gillette running a toxic manhood commercial, yeah they can blow me too.

Bud and Target can also kiss my ass. I can easily do without either.

So sticking to my standards kinda only goes as far as it’s convenient to regarding this issue.
