Report: Bud Light Has Quietly Suspended Its Partnership With Trans "Girl" Dylan Mulvaney

If true, this is one of the first times that public disgust has been widespread enough to force a Walkback of Woke.

They still haven't apologized, though. They're still trying to weasel out of saying they screwed up or taking responsibility.

They're not even announcing this, if it's true. They're just leaking it so people understand they're cancelling the partnership without them having to take the public hit of announcing the end of the partnership.

I say: Destroy them. Salt the earth were Bud Light stood as a warning to all the other woke corporations.

After a weeklong $6.6 billion loss in share value, executives at AB InBev, parent company of Anheuser-Busch's Bud Light brand, have decided to shelve its "partnership" with Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender "influencer" whose appearance on a can triggered a nationwide backlash.
...
News of the walkback surfaced Thursday when Rogan O'Handley, who publishes an online newsletter called DC Draino, tweeted that marketing for Bud Light had been "put on hold." A week earlier, Mr. O'Handley asserted that sources at the company told him corporate executives were angry about the release of the Bud Light can with the influencer's image.
He wrote: "It wasn't posted on any [Anheuser-Busch/Bud Light] social medias [sic] & the leading theory is that a Leftist manager secretly did it on their own to push trans agenda. New PR statement expected. Possible lawsuit ..."

69 Once again, this has nothing to do with an individual company going woke. Mulvaney was signed up to represent everything from Bud Light to Tampax. This is the left blackmailing corporations with CEI, ESG whatever the fuck alphabet bullshit.

It has been going on since Obama and it is hitting its peak now backed by billions of dollars in pension and investment funds backed by BlackRock, State Street and Vanguard. There is nothing unique about Bud Light or any of the other dozens of corporations bowing to this woke shit. It's the woke mafia started by Obama.

Bud Light has always sucked but they aren't the problem. This is.

82 Fortunate in that there are dozens, more than a hundred actually, craft breweries in the area. Like Reforger - at least in the warm months - have a bunch of growlers and will fill them with our favorites. Almost always bring this and not mass produced stuff to events now. And even in the cans in the fridge are mostly locals. Stopped counting but we'd visited over 60 breweries as of last year, some became repeat hang-outs.

Speaking of can art. A place I hadn't heard of before down in Chulajuana (Chula Vista) has a hazy IPA with some very nice WWII Pacific art featuring F-4U Corsairs. Think the brew is called "Warbird". Not very "woke", I guess. And Lil' Miss brewing out very close to NAS Miramar (Camp Kearny in WWII) has a WWII theme overall, some cool artifacts in their main place. Also not very "woke".*

101 I figure the reality based on my experience in dealing with woke marketing with my company is they made an influencer buy, and asked the agency for inclusive people

I expect they actively asked for a trans influencer… and SOMEONE at Budweiser greenlit this guy, and the VP for sure knew they got him

Everyone is acting like this cunt VP is some big shot, when no, she’s a brand manager

And getting this guys face on a can, THAT took a LOT of execs involved in that beyond this cunty donkey face VP of Brand for a single product line

This was a high level decision likely leaned on them by blackrock and now they reap the whirlwind

Referring to specific people's right to exist as a "discussion that divides people" is fucking reprehensible.

The company is going to find a statement like this only emboldens the bigots, while simultaneously turning off the people who supported their move to feature Dylan Mulvaney in the first place. Way to make sure you anger everybody over this issue. Sigh.

Hedge funds and investment funds are major investors in the big corporations, and often hold the proxies for their investors. They will also keep or dump stock in large clumps if they feel the corporation is "not doing well" which can include not being inclusive enough or having enough trannies or whatever.

251 Even IF they had come out with a full, no-equivocation apology it wouldn't be enough. They exposed themselves for what they truly are. Never buy any of their products again. There are too many alternatives, and this is a great way to teach a multi-billion $ company a multi-billion $ lesson. It is harder to boycott monopolies, but easy to boycott companies with competition.

261 Evening.

I think I've said this here, right? When you market your products to teenage boys (who aren't legally allowed to drink) who are hyper-insecure about their masculinity it's probably a bad idea to market your beer (lmao) as the drink of gays and trannies. Call me crazy but that *may* turn off your core consumer base.

I sincerely hope at this time brewers like Shiner are planning ads featuring manly men working hard, waving the flag and drinking something that'll put a little hair on your chest.

Jackstraw has it right. Remember what Trump and Breitbart have said, this is a full-court press by a bunch of privileged elites who all went to the same schools with the same teachers and used the same network to get jobs where they could start telling us peons how to live. It's happening on Wall Street, Main Street, Hollywood, and D.C. simultaneously, and that is not a coincidence.

265 Passive Index funds can't make choices on whether they buy or sell companies they like or dislike.

If a company is in the S&P500, they have to buy that stock to fulfill their obligation if its an S&P500 fund.

What these companies can do (like BlackRock) is they get to vote those shares as if they are the owners of the stock. That's where Larry Fink (BlackRock) has been making trouble as a woke crusader.

Get out of BlackRock funds (basically anything with the iShares name)

Schwab has similar funds and are #based.

269 Hey Luftwaffe fans, guess what they recently unearthed on Malta.

Bf 109F-4/Trop Werke Nr 8668. Black 11 of JG3.

https://tinyurl.com/Black11Malta

This aircraft was built by Erla. People are saying this is a /Z aircraft but the fuel triangle has been salvaged by a souvenir hunter and there are no photos of the prop which was a more paddle design than standard for a Friedrich. The Z mod was intended to give better high altitude performance and required 100 octane fuel for the GM-1 boost system.

Beaman and Kitchens in their research have never found documentation for any Z machine going to North Africa since most of the combat was at low to medium altitude and the Z option was intended to counter American bombers.

But in this Erla production batch 55 were modified to Z. So the only way to be sure is to find the GM-1 system in the plane or if the data plate states it. So being conservative I am going to call it a Bf 109F-4/Trop.

Let me get this straight. A minor can't get a tattoo, buy a pack of cigarettes, have a drink at a bar, get married, sign a contract but it is guaranteed that if he/she wants to cut off a perfectly good body part making them sterile and unable to ever enjoy sex, that is not only possible, it is encouraged.

283 Who actually buys stuff because of the spokesperson anyways. It's just stupid. Either they make a product really well so I want to buy it or they don't. In the case of Bud Light there are so many other choices that choosing a spokesperson that is anathema to your prime consumer base was ridiculous. On the other hand, much as I loathed Kapernick, Nike shoes fit me best so there was no way I was going to boycott them. On the other hand, I can buy a sports bra anywhere so I will boycott that but I don;t think it will have the same impact as the Bud boycott.

I remember Bud ads from the Eighties and Nineties, when I was in their key demographic.

All the ads were about total dudebros who liked to drink Bud and Bud Lite with their friends and girlfriends. Sure it tasted like drunken cat piss, but never mind that, it was all about the dudebros having a good time, and not having to pay Heineken costs for it. "When you've said Budweiser, you've said it all." "Give me a lite...no BUD Lite!" "Bud. Wies. Err!" That's what the over-educated "progressive" bimbo decided to throw aside.
