There was never going to be; the boycott is a tool of the downtrodden, desperate, and poor- those in this era of wealth, bread, and circuses lack both the determination and the need.

Beyond that, though, they seem to have FIRED the person in question, so... what exactly do you want them to do? Pour through the social media of every single person they hire or work with until the end of time? Have MORE surveillance state tactics? Or is it acceptable when "your side" is the one doing it?

I mean, I'll give you credit; unlike Dylan Mulvaney, this one's actually DONE something objectionable, beyond "enjoy light beer while being transsexual", but come on.

[Jersey2]

The Doritos people are arrogant and pissing on us even after what happened to Bud Light. They are a commodity as well and there are a lot of different chips and snacks out there. Boycotts are boycotts and we can and should punish them economically. And we will then be pissing in them.

[NamerOfStars]

Punish them for WHAT?

[Jersey2]

For pissing on us the same way Bud Light did. Bud Light was the number 1 beer in the US. Today they are not even in the top 15.

[NamerOfStars]

They didn't "piss on you"; they hired someone who made objectionable political statements two decades ago. Then they fired that person, explicitly for those statements. If there's no room in your mind for forgiveness, why on Earth should they listen to anything you say?

[Jersey2]

Political statements? Child rape? And other outrageous comments? You don’t know do you.

[NamerOfStars]

I do know; that's the problem. They didn't condone child molestation; they hired a person who, on later examination, made statements arguably doing so TWENTY YEARS AGO. When these things came to light, they fired that person. Once again, what do you expect them to do?

Let the victim complex go or apply for membership in the Feminist movement. It's no different when it's you doing it.

[Jersey2]

These companies wade into social issues due to stupid brand managers who have an axe to grind. They need to tighten up who gets to make that call in the company. That is the Chief Marketing Officer’s responsibility. Until they realize that a lot of people will not accept their social positions we need to hurt them on sales, its that simple. The Bud Light and Target financial hits hurt and we need to add this brand and bring them to their knees as well. And then the next. And then the next until they stop.

[exitseven]

And to think they probably could gave hired the Frito Bandito since he is out of a job

[Jersey2]

He did a good job and I would bet that hispanics would support him like they do Speedy Gonzales. Its white college professors and their students that say otherwise.

[exitseven]

Ay Yi Yi Yi.! I am the Frito Bandito

[Anonymous]

If everyone boycotted Doritos, they wouldn't even feel it.

Doritos is owned by Pepsi, which also owns Starbucks, Aunt Jemima, KFC, Cap'n Crunch, Rockstar energy drinks, Cheetos, Lays potato chips, Lipton tea, Gatorade, Pizza Hut, Mountain Dew, Taco Bell, Cracker Jacks, Quaker Oatmeal, 7-Up, Tropicana orange juice (and casinos), and about 100 more.

Are you going to boycott everything they own?

[Jersey2]

You don’t need to boycott everything they own. Boycotting Bud Light did wonders.

First, they have huge negative press. This creates a PR problem. Then they have to choose to double down or back out. This gets the focus of their senior leaders and board. Then they have to start explaining to share-owners while the stock drops. Then news of potential shareholder lawsuits. Of course all this is happening while there are serious internal meetings trying to find out what happened, why and paths forward. Its a serious shitstorm that some careers will not survive. Then, the company loses a major brand even though they dump millions into rescuing it. It kills North American sales which means bad bonuses and stock options or grants. Then layoffs in the brand team and unfortunately the production lines. So yeah, it will make a difference.

[Jersey2]

Oh, I know this from being in corporate headquarters of global companies for decades.

[Anonymous]

Google "ESG."

Environmental, social, and corporate governance

People thought that Bud made a mistake. It was no mistake. You don't put a tranny on a can of beer by accident. They get points for this.

[Siri137]

Why the hell did they hire a "transgender activist" in the first place? Why are companies now hiring activists?

[Jersey2]

I don’t know but it is dangerous brand marketing as the trans activist now become the face of your company and all that goes with that. I don’t need Doritos in my life. There are plenty of other brands that I like as well.

[blueonblack22]

Well I never eat Doritos to begin with. But people should punish corporations who do this crap.

[Jersey2]

Spread the word then.

[blueonblack22]

Absolutely. The thing is leftists have been more “socially” aware then conservatives for decades when it came to boycotting corporations. Now it’s our responsibility to turn the tables on this crap.

[Jersey2]

Exactly

[blueonblack22]

Honestly I wish there was a “woke free” consumer information website. I know Ben Shapiro and the daily wire make competing products. But those are more just novelty products.

I just want to know which mainstream products are no wile or woke free. Personally I stopped buying Gillette razors and avoid progressive auto insurance like the plague after I found out about their crap. I also boycotted Target for a month last year even though it was a huge inconvenience.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

It says they fired her, so most likely not. It'd be a bigger issue if they didn't fire her after they found out she was one.

[Jersey2]

I am not so forgiving. First they did exactly what Bud Light did but knew the reaction and that’s arrogance. I also think someone there knew or at least should have known.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Sometimes companies don't know that stuff about the people they hire. But it's better they got rid of her as soon as they found out. My only guess is now that it's out she's most likely going to jail for it (hopefully). And Bud light didn't pick the right person for that. I've never tried to drink beer anyway, but that's beside the point.

[sage2021]

Keep your damn pedophile hands out of my bag of Doritos!

I'm going to boycott for sure.

[Smashingdoozy]

They fired her after finding out... What's the problem?

[Jersey2]

They would have vetted them and thats the problem. They knew, someone knew. But the same reason as Bud Light, F them. We can get chips anywhere.

[Smashingdoozy]

Generally they do police checks. If the person doesn't have a record then it would have been fine. They don't scour social medias going back years.

[Jersey2]

Of they are hiring what they know will be a controversial spokesperson from the social media world and for the social media world, then they had to have looked into it. At the very least they were doing the same as Bid Light but with the knowledge of pissing people off. Now they have a Pedo spokesperson whether they knew, only some knew or no one knew its theirs as when you hire someone like this you own it.

[Smashingdoozy]

Again, as someone who has done checks on people we do not scroll back years on their social medias. She said the things when she was a teenager, yes they were horrible and she probably wouldn't have been hired had the company seen those tweets first, but it's not like they kept her on after knowing what she said.

[Jersey2]

Don’t compare her hiring to a normal contractor. Yes, I know that process as well. This was to be a face of the company for social media, from social media. People need to be fired there AND that still will not suffice.

[Smashingdoozy]

They rectified the issue. The literal only reason why it's a big deal to you is because she's trans.

[HelpfulWoman]

The article is literally saying they fired them when they found out...

[Jersey2]

They hired him/her/whatever as a slap in the face of the public and now they are surprised by the crazy inside? Whoever vetted them knew.

[Drumlin2001]

Companies still employ Mike Tyson as a spokesperson, and he's a convicted rapist. Are you boycotting all them?

[Jersey2]

I haven’t seen any such thing. He does have an upcoming fight though. Start a boycott then.

[A_Bell]

Why would an adult eat Dorotos in the first place? Good lord people, stop buying garbage.

[Jersey2]

Hopefully they will.

[FunkyMonkee]

Biden's selling Doritos, now?

[handsomelad70]

They fired her, as they should have.

[Jersey2]

Yes, they punished her. Now consumers can punish them.

[OtterMan68]

they fired the person

[Jersey2]

Yes they did. And now we need to boycott. They did a Bud Light knowing and a Pedo maybe knowingly by some there.

[OtterMan68]

If you drank Bud Light, you need to examine your tastes in beer. Bud Light, just like Miller Lite, Coors Light, & Corona is mass-produced swill. Find a local brew pub.
Hiring them firing that person harmed no one.

[Jersey2]

I like Guinness Stout but Bud and Doritos have a lot of the same customers. I did like Doritos and I know they are a Frito Lays product so I won’t buy them.

[OtterMan68]

I'm sure they're quaking in their boots

[Jersey2]

Yeah, just like Bud. You know, the number1 beer in the US oh wait, what number are they now. Oh wow, not even in the top 12!! And Bud is way down the list. Bud Light is quaking and wish they had a do over. Chips are a commodity too.

thelistwire.usatoday.com/.../

[Jersey2]

Shit! That was the top 15!! Lol. No where in the list is Bid Light the previous number 1 beers in the US. LOL! Yeah, there are conference calls happening tonight and someone is shitting their pants.

[msc545]

They fired her two days later.

[Jersey2]

Yes. Doesn’t matter.

[msc545]

It matters a lot. When they became aware of the issues with her, they promptly fired her.

What the hell did you expect them to do? Shoot her?

[Jersey2]

First, they looked for this person specifically. A trans woman which is the same thing Bud Light did. Their arrogance is amazing. Just for that they should be boycotted. Second some there at least had to know about this person or the did absolutely no vetting. Doritos is a brand and this is their brand spokesman. Doritos owns the repercussions.

[msc545]

You have no ide what they did or didn't do. You are simply making things up to fit your bias. Nobody believes what you say about this.

[Jersey2]

Nonsense. They hired this person specifically because he was trans. Just like Bd Light so they get the same response from much of the public. Trans people have severe mental issues in general. This one is also a pedo. Go read about what he said for yourself as it is in mainstream media.

[Jersey2]

And don’t pretend to speak for everyone. You don’t.

[msc545]

You have no idea why they hired him - you are again just creating things that support your own ideology.

[Jersey2]

Nonsense again. It simple really. Occam's razor.

[msc545]

Occams razor doesn't extend to asserting things that you have no evidence of. There is a reason that the vast majority of people responding to this question on GaG think you are simply wrong.

[Jersey2]

I have evidence that they hired him. That they knew he was a trans. That he was on social media and had a history that could be reviewed. They also knew about Bud Light, how could they not. So they get the same.

[msc545]

Yes, they hired him. That is all you know. You have no evidence that they knew anything about his sexuality, but even if they did, being trans is not illegal. Being on social media is not illegal. Employment discrimination would have been illegal in this case.

[Jersey2]

Why do you even speak. Troll I suppose. Or just plain stupid. Here, read. Trans Ambassador. Such a dumb fuck.

[strateguy632]

yes.

[Anonymous]

Nah, you can't taste pedophilia.😆

[Jersey2]

So… you are one too?

[Opinion Owner]

Nah, I just like Doritos. And whether I eat Doritos or not isn't going to have any affect on whether there are pedophiles or not.

[Jersey2]

I’m thinking you are a pedo.

[Opinion Owner]

You're allowed to. My guess is you don't think many things that are terribly accurate.

[Jersey2]

My personnel success says otherwise. People like you always go low fast. Ne careful defending this pedo as people will think you are one.

[Opinion Owner]

I could care less what you or anyone else thinks of me.

[Jersey2]

That’s laughable. You wouldn’t have answered as anonymous on a site where you are already anon to begin with. Then de-anonymize.

[Opinion Owner]

No. I post 90% anonymous to deter stalkers. If there wasn't so many snowflakes on this site I would post non anon. I don't care what you think of me. Doesn't mean I want to be stalked and harassed.

[Jersey2]

Liar

[laly520]

she got fired

[Jersey2]

Not enough.
