fair enough, I haven't seen an ad that targets kids though

 

I mean if they are using hundreds of these people some of them have to be “unintentionally” targeting people under 21 just due to the TikTok audience, right?

no clue, again haven't seen any others, but I would put it in the Joe Camel category

this person in this ad is doubly toxic, not only playing a fake woman, but normalizing teens and kids to this tranny nonsense

 

[RaiderHaters Revenge 4,358]

you know I will just take the route of being a responsible parent and teaching my son about drugs, alcohol and trannies and keep the tiktok away from him which is already a given

I worry about other kids who will be affected though

They are certainly targeting young people and kids “by accident”. But this wasn’t an issue until this small campaign that caused this absurd freak out from ironically people acting like drama queens on social media  

I do also get people thinking this was a stupid and odd branding deal.

I’ll disagree with your take on trans / fake women stuff but that’s ok.

Kid Rock shooting Bud Light cans or any number of these other social media freak outs is about as much media hoar move as there is

This whole thing is very, very stupid IMO. But people can buy whatever beer they want obviously and marketing is a big part of it.

I would not argue otherwise.  I have never lent any attention to Kid Rock.

I 1000% feel like this person is a product of algorithms, was a complete nobody drama queen trying to be famous on tiktok, acting like a jackass on price is right, making videos for years, decides to do a trans skit and it takes off due to the algorithms pushing this crap on everyone

now you have a complete psycho narcissist getting invites to the white house, being the face of bud light and WOMEN, while mocking them daily

“The face of Bud Light” is a bit of hyperbole, no? This TikTok was for a 15K March Madness contest. She is one of hundreds of people pitching this swill.

No doubt fame is a weird thing.

But that’s the thing this was some “influencer” bullshit. These things I think are all over the place we just don’t see them unless you are following the people.

This trans person was a tiny part of their budget for this stuff I believe and the influencer budget is a small part of their overall marketing budget.

Exactly....there are tons of influencers that companies give products too. People are being worked up because outrage was created over this one.

Just because people are liberal does not mean they agree on every topic.  Many liberals especially women don`t agree with men competing against real women in female sporting events.

If you search the hashtag #budlightpartner on Instagram there appears to be a whole campaign with college students wearing shirts that say “Bud Light U”…kinda weird since like less than half of college students can legally drink

That is morally wrong and should be cancelled.

Yet the majority are drinking regardless of their age.  College kids don't care about the legal age to drink and AB knows this.

Actually it looks like the Bud Light U thing might be more in Canada, drinking age is 19 there I think?

Yeah because it's presumably straight people so no one cares. But when a transgender person drinks one Bud Light people freak out.

He drinks White Claw and Fruity Drinks. The whole thing is absurd, why do they need a man in a wig promoting their product? There's plenty of REAL Women more than capable of representing Bud Light.

If the majority of people in the LGBTQ community drink White Claws and fruity drinks then wouldn't it make sense for Bud Light to try and get into that demographic by advertising to them?  Normally this would be considered pretty standard marketing practice but there was a major overreaction this time.

For the same reason the NFL tries to market pink jerseys every year to get women to watch football. It's an audience and companies want all the eyeballs on them

Anheuser Busch does make a Bud Light seltzer line and a hard soda line. They market to everything and everyone.

Yeah absolutely. They want to throw tons of product out there and then just try to market to everyone. I'm stunned this approach is lost on people.

I’m guessing they have those too. They are trying to sell this crap beer to as many people as possible.
