Whatever blip Bud Light experienced was due to their flip flopping. I was ready to start stocking up for our annual July 04 bash and would have gone out of my way to buy some (even though I don't normally) until they rolled over for the magas and fired the person responsible for sending that single can of bud light to a trans influencer. I know others had a similar thought process, because I've seen it discussed online and in meatspace.

I'm sure I've bought products that they own since then unknowingly, but haven't knowingly bought an AB product since then. All they had to do was take a stance, but they proved to be exactly what all megacorps are - greedy and spineless. Edit: Just like Target, I might add.

What is it woth the right and cancel culture? It feels like there's no free speech anymore.

Bunch of snowflakes.

I refuse to believe this will impact DD in any meaningful way.

*Sigh*, Kid Rock is about to shoot some holes in donuts, isn't he?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Kid Rock makes donut holes by fucking them

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Kid Rock, the spiritual successor to Ted Nugent.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

That sounds very mockable. A good PR team could get a ton of mileage off commercials about shooting holes in donuts.

Of Jewish people, Fuentes has also said: “We will make them die in the holy war.”

Aren't these the same people who complain about being called Nazis

I remember seeing on Shitter the founder of Home Depot was supporting Trump and people were saying they wouldn't shop there anymore.

The snowflake Trump supports were upset people would do that because it was hurting the workers. I guess it only matters when it is their cause.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Menards supports trump too.

“To be honest ... I would be opposed to showing up on the current version of the platform—the right wing culture of the site is too polarizing from a brand suitability standpoint today,” the message read.

This seems perfectly reasonable.

If they are forced to advertise places, I’m going to sue them to advertise on my ass. I can provide metrics that show it has enough visitors to warrant at least a banner ad.

MAGA influencer, catturd2

That really says all there is to say.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Isn't that the guy who's always chasing Elon Musk's dick around?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No idea.

But it's a grown-ass man who thinks calling himself catturd is the height of comedy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I feel attacked.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I’m confused about this lawsuit. Haven’t advertisers always been allowed to not advertise in places they don’t think align with their brand?

Elon Musk’s lawsuit over alleged X ad boycott “a very weak case,” professor says

Stupid people, who believe in "free speech" and resent "cancelation," don't think that should be allowed.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And they're willing to cancel anyone who disagrees

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

They have always been the bitch-made invertebrate snowflakes they love to complain about. It's always projection with these mouth-breathers.
