To be fair, many of the critics of Mulvaney are reading him (accurately) as a flamboyantly effeminate gay man. Its a turn off for consumers of a product traditionally marketed for blue collar men, and makes the target market feel like they're being 'conversion therapied' somehow.

My own objection to Mulvaney is not that he's gay or 'trans' (which I'm sceptical of anyhow) but that he's commodifying repugnant objectifying caricatures of women.

I think what really insults the Bud Light customer base is the assumption by the company that they would be into a man who projects a kind of ghoulish and disturbing impersonation of femininity.
