I can't believe there are people who still refuse to drink Bud Light only because they had one #transgender spokesperson.
That's right up there with "grown men afraid to wear pink" level insecurity.
Funny how capitalism and sociopathy correlate.
@paninid Yep. Our lizard brains still correlate "strong" with "best" despite that causation predating cooperation. Mix that with "power corrupts" and you have an inevitable outcome.
Stare into the #nihilistic abyss long enough and you, too, can become an #Ubermensch.

@LouisIngenthron It really is like a 2 year old tantrum
Like how do people even act like this and arent embarrassed? Like who cares.
To be clear they never even made them a spokesperson initially (im not sure if at all).. they literally just sent them some budlight with their picture on it to be nice, thats it.
@freemo I've heard a couple people try to justify it by saying that they "don't support companies that get political", which is bullshit in so many ways, but the most egregious, in my mind, is that Budweiser didn't politicize anything... Republicans did when they bitched about one sponsorship going to a trans person. By their own logic, these people should be boycotting the GOP, not Budweiser.
@LouisIngenthron my car could be called baby blue. I found some men are afraid of that color. I think it looks nice. Also, I walk this dog.
I had an opportunity to do some networking and get some great business contacts not too long ago... but then they cracked a joke about how anyone who buys bud light gets a free skirt with it. At that point, I held up my bud light and decided I needed business partners with less money and more morals.
