That will depend on how that CEO handles this.

as I have stated, nothing short of a full apology and promise to stop with the pandering to he mentally I’ll trannies will likely have an impact on these people.

I don’t have a horse in this one, never bought bud, just don’t care for the taste; and I am not an investor.

But the average worker should not be punished here, not for the pandering of the company leaders. The company is trying to stay in the middle here.

The consumers are speaking and it is incumbent on the company to deliver on what they want. And for that matter, this Dillon guy is 100% right too, they are either all in or not here

Bud wounds have to declare itself non woke. Then tell all sports leagues that they will no longer advertise if there is any disrespect to the national anthem.  And all those billshit woke signs on the field and court have to go. Also no more pride nights. Not gonna happen, but That would be awesome. They would skyrocket to the top of the sales chart.

They are casualties of a woke corporation. Hopefully they learned who the bad guys are and move on with that in mind. All with the goal to get America back on it's feet again after the onslaught of these liberal movements.

Let's keep in mind- this was Bud Light just making cans for a specific person that there was no intention to sell. It was basically "Hey transgenders- you want beer, drink Bud Light."

They didn't advertise it, they didn't promote it to anyone explicitly, they weren't selling the cans....and the only people who are legally able to buy beer are 21 year old ADULTS. This isn't "let's protect kids"- this is "We want to tell everyone how to live and what to do." Additionally, the only reason anyone knows about it is Mulvaney posted it (most likely either in an implicit or explicit agreement) and someone viewed it and threw a hissy fit over it. 

I'd venture a guess that even here a majority of us are not following Dylan Mulvaney on social media and would've had no idea about this had someone not been cruising the Internet for things to be outraged about- either in a professional TV station setting, or in someone's personal life.

We can debate whether they are “right” or not. I think it was at least a little to do with the condescending tone of that marketing exec too.

regardless, they either go all in on this tranny thing and hold true to the morals they pretend to have but do not actually have….or they apologize profusely and attempt to win back the millions of dollars in losses

Again though- let's be honest about this....almost any company is going to cast their net as wide as possible to try and bring in consumers. What Bud Light did is not that different from any other company. What pissed people off is they wanted to be outraged about this.

To me this isn't a matter of "right or wrong"....Anheuser Busch runs actual campaigns for all types of organizations- notably farmers of America with their Busch Light brand. This was a can made for an influencer to try and appeal their beer to young 20 somethings. Whether you personally agree with what transgenders are or not you can't fault the business move.

We are circling in agreement.

Every company is pandering to its target audience. In this instance bud was trying to latch on to what they assumed was a safe social movement, and miscalculated.

They inadvertently lost their core market segment.. when they realized this they could have stayed with this pretend morality or demurred.

in effect they demurred, but clearly their target segment wants more.

We can claim their target segment is dumb or wrong, but that won’t fix this

Such an idiot. The people have spoken by saying "Screw you bud light." yet you keep pushing their agenda. 

Heads up dude, people don't like companies trying to normalize mental illness on their kids. 

You lost this one, move on.

Dylan Mulvaney is viewed more favorably than Ron DeSantis!

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/dylan-mulvaney-ron-desantis-poll-b2375445.html

Quote

Transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney, whose promotion of BudLight led to conservatives to boycott the beer, has a higher favourability rating than Florida Gov Ron DeSantis, who has enacted anti-LGBTQ+ policies, separate polls suggest.

A DailyMail.com/TIPP Poll released a survey on Tuesday showing that 50 per cent of American participants said they hold a favourable view of Ms Mulvaney, as 23 per cent said they hold a “very favourable” view and 27 per cent said they hold a “somewhat” favourable view.

With 42 per cent viewing her unfavourably, she has a net score of plus 8. The survey asked 1,300 US adults, but after 57 per cent said they had not heard of or were unfamiliar with Ms Mulvaney, they were not asked any further questions.

Quote

By contrast, Fivethirtyeight national poll averages on the same day indicate that the Florida Gov has a favourability score of 35.5 per cent, but has an unfavourability score of 45.9 per cent. That means that Mr DeSantis has a net score of negative 10.3.

Mr DeSantis trails fellow GOP 2024 hopeful former President Donald Trump in the polls. Fivethirtyeight shows Mr Trump polling at 49.7 per cent while the Florida governor holds the second place slot, but polls at a mere 21 per cent.

They get upset that people say, "Ok, I won't buy your beer anymore. :dunno:"

Somehow it hurts liberal feelers that someone says "No thanks.".

Actually from what I read the trans has quite a under 21 audience.   I understand the idea of getting in on the soon to be drinkers but its weird on the other hand too.  

But to piggy back Ray, you can disagree with their choice of boycott but who cares?   If some local brewery smacked a tranny on all their cans for a year....you can boycott it but what good does that do in the grand scheme?  Bud Light is a big national brand.  It is more about making an example out of them at this point for boycotters.  And an example that other companies will notice.  

This doesn't seem like rocket science.

Actually, you can.  The boycott was an unintended consequence.  Every business decision maker needs to think about all the potential consequences of their decisions.  This one turned out be a catastrophe.

I guess AH learned how small their target market is. Not sure why they did it with their number one seller, when they could have simply used Truly or some smaller product they have that might have actually been received better by their target audience.

I may be wrong on this but I think what he might have meant was that there was no reason to expect any backlash....the current environment practically demands that you acquiece to trannies.   And who would have suspected that anyone would stand up to it?  From the perspective of the company it seemed like a safe way to ride the coat tails of a social movement and suckle on it....

I don't recall Bud Light bombarding anyone with this.  It was conservatives that made it a huge deal and bombarded everyone with it.  You do it to yourselves.  I keep hearing people say they are tired of it being shoved in their faces every day but who are the ones constantly talking about it?  It's the conservative posters who make thread after thread about it.  It's the conservative media that constantly talk about it on TV and in social media.  So... Ask yourself, who's bombarding you?

But again- it wasn't something to be sold. It wasn't anything they were advertising to anything outside of a niche group.

I will make a safe bet you don't follow Dylan Mulvaney on social media. I'd imagine RLLD doesn't either. They made a move that has been made countless times and for whatever reason it caused a backlash this time. I get what they were trying to do but it became a mountain because a bunch of people who probably had no idea who Mulvaney was before this were able to be riled up over it.

What specifically has been done where something similar to “cheers to 365 days of womanhood” has been been produced for a man? This wasn’t a rainbow or some other “we support pride” mantra. They specifically endorsed that men can be women. A line was crossed.

There are numerous causes businesses choose to do that for one reason or another groups will try to fight against. And I mean people railed when Skittles took all the color out of the bags for Pride month.

But again- you don't know who Mulvaney is. I didn't know who it was. I'd have no reason to. This was viewed by someone who was looking for something to be upset about.

For those that prefer Miller Lite for their manly beer.  https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/07/pride-month-boycotts-target-bud-light-brands-companies

Miller Lite

The Bud Light rival has a long history of support for LGBTQ+ causes and appears to be continuing with it this year. It touts “town halls” in various cities where bars serving the beer can work toward inclusivity and sponsors events including the Dallas Pride Miller Lite music festival. In a statement to the Guardian, Miller’s parent company, Molson Coors, said: “Everyone deserves to feel comfortable having a drink and being themselves. That’s why beer, wine and spirits companies like ours have supported Pride for decades, why we’ll do so in 2023 and why we’ll continue to do so for decades to come.”
