I can accept that Adidas had this campaign's material already prepared before the Bud Light/Mulvaney thing. But why, after watching A-B's profits disappear into a sinkhole of public disgust and outrage, would they then go ahead and run the campaign anyway?

Either they're dead certain that A-B's demographic of beer-guzzling, middle American "bigots" can't touch them, or whoever is in charge of this campaign is one of those irrepressibly retarded "it'll work this time, for sure" woke types who just fed them into a meat grinder for the personal virtue signaling clout.

I wonder if they thought that they had to have something for Pride Month and were worried about the optics if they pulled this campaign especially since A-B started to get flak from LGBT groups for throwing Mulvaney under the bus.

Huh, be interesting to see a numerical breakdown of exactly how money the alphabet mob actually spent on A-B products in the last five years and compare that to how much money has disappeared from the loss of core demographic sales since the Mulvaney mess kicked off. Because I'll bet, quite heavily, the former amount is just few percentage points of the latter amount.

I don’t think that the financials matter when it comes to the QWERTY-crew, just a few “community leaders” making statements and writing columns will be enough to scare any company.

I mean, the entirety of the UIOP-squad constitute about 5% of the population (and that’s being generous) and yet are given disproportionate say in policy and culture.

There are enough “allies” that just gulp down the swill that the ASDF-pals spout and “Yass Kween” it that the disproportionate influence the GHJKL-team has is all that matters. Also, I bet marketing and advertising is now demographically predisposed to supporting ZXCV-crowd causes.

You forgot to mention the BNMs, you filthy fucking bigot. Make the world a better place and get necked, hate monger!

It's win-win for the people making the advertising, though.

If you pander to the alphabet mob, they'll be sated, and the odds are that the non-woke will ignore it. If you DON'T pander to the alphabet mob, they'll scream so loud the whole world will hear them and make it their mission to get you fired. Moreso, because they are terminally online, they have the skillset to find someone who WILL get you fired (can't get your boss? they'll get your boss's boss, or THEIR boss's boss, and go all the way up the line to the board of directors member who'll respond "shut up shut up don't care don't care OH MY GOD I DON'T CARE fire whichever peasant they're whining about before it affects the stock prices", and because they are little kids with a Harry Potter fetish, they will never stop because they truly believe they're the hero of their story, that this is their Rosa Parks moment, them marching on Washington, that getting you fired will be such a profound strike for equality and social justice they will build statues and name high schools after them in the future.

Now, we're seeing with A-B that they could be fired for the loss of money from this. They STILL WIN- they'll just pivot to "all I wanted was to make this company safe for [group], and the mean white mean male mean cis mean het mean Trump supporters got me fired because they can't stand anyone who isn't white, cis, straight, and male existing! What's the REAL Cancel Culture, HUH?", and get a job as a professional victim-grifter like all the kids really want.

I’m willing to make some retarded predictions.

Short of some marketing miracle or all their competitors brands being caught using aborted babies as a flavouring, BudLight is done as a brand. The Mulvaney stunt annoyed just enough people in just the right way to kill the brand and it’s done, it’s no more. A-B might be lucky and manage to keep Budweiser safe, but it might be done too, collateral damage. A-B should be concerned that they might be subject to a takeover bid from one of those giant food and drink corporations, new owners and a massive marketing blitz might save Budweiser and after a period on the naughty step, a revived and revamped BudLight might make a return….it’ll probably take new packaging and bikini-babe, 100% heterosexual eye-candy gun-toting marketing though.

I fully expect Miller to rush out a new marketing campaign featuring lots of hot women and handsome men. They probably wont be bikini-clad, but they will return to business as usual and sweep their flirtation with letting their ad agency complain about sex sells advertising under the carpet and never mention it again.

No other food or drinks company will fuck around with their number one demographic ever again. Which is probably a good win for us all. Although I would like the age of every advert featuring a mixed-race family and fat/ugly people to end and a general return to attractive people selling me shit. And some one please tell Dove to stop with the landwhales in the shower/in their underwear ads…just put your logo on the screen and say “we make soap”.

Adidas is potentially okay, because they’re like Nike, who can literally use slave labour and still turn a profit because they have the youth trainer/sneaker market and their customers just don’t give a damn about shit like this.

Mmmm, Soylent Green for Kids, yummy!

please tell Dove to stop with the landwhales in the shower

Disagree with this one, they need to be reminded that hot water and soap are for them as much as anyone else.

I can see the likeliness for Adidas to be okay; the younger market would be more likely to support shit like this than not...and if older people don't? That's a stone groove to Adidas, being able to say "your parents HATE THIS" will make the youth flock to you.

Bud Light, I sincerely doubt it. I know you're not from the US, but you have to keep in mind in America, Budweiser is basically "American beer." Like, the whole reason American beer gets a bad rap is because of just how ubiquitous Budweiser is. The only time a beer brand went from ubiquitous in the US to out of business was Schlitz in the 1970s, and that required them to change the formula of the beer itself from 'drinkable' to disgusting...and even THEN, it took six years to destroy the brand entirely because people were still willing to keep giving it chances. If what amounts to one advertisement is enough to destroy the Budweiser/Bud Light brand for good, then that would honestly say that maybe the troons HAVE A POINT when they say people are trying to genocide them

I'm all for anyone wearing whatever clothing makes them comfortable, but the physical differences between men amd women mean that you can't just wear a swimsuit cut for women and still maintain decency and comfort. Male leotards and speedos have extra space for male junk that you just don't get with a women's garment.

Man will be spilling out all over the place, which perhaps is the point if he's doing it for sexual reasons and taboo-breaking.

Also, it can't be comfy!

The older I get, the less I agree with this. Maybe I'm just old and stubborn now, but I think some small degree of dress conformity is needed for a healthy society. The cultures that came before ours seemed to know this and pretty much every culture in human history has had a clear style delineation between men and women. So these days I think if you want to dress like the opposite sex, then fine, do it in the privacy of your home. But in public you should be wearing normal clothing.

How you dress sends a message to other people about how you want to be seen by them.

Legally speaking I'm against any sort of laws telling people how they can and can't dress, beyond basic public decency laws. Mainly because it's a whole kettle of fish and nobody will be able to agree on the rules.

Personally I prefer it if the crazy people visually out themselves as such before I have to deal with them.

I agree, I don't think there should be dress conformity laws, that would be taking it too far. I'm happy if it's allowed to be enforced socially through shunning or shaming or denying service. But that kind of social policing is, depending on where you are, either illegal or has grave consequences. So there's nothing to do at this point except sit back and watch Clown World destroy civilization.

I had a lesbian explain to me that there is no such thing as unisex clothing.

All clothing is cut to fit a certain body, even t-shirts. All humans are one of two types, men or women.

She grew up as a tomboy and so wore almost entirely boys clothes when she was a teen. It made her hate her body because they were so ill-fitting. She though she was just ugly until she just started buying the same items but cut for women then they all looked great on her.

Adidas has sparked calls for a boycott after launching a new range of women's swimwear using what appears to be a man as the model.

The company was accused of 'erasing women' and is the latest target of conservative anger over 'woke' marketing, after Bud Light saw sales drop last month following outrage over its partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Maybe they took notice of Miller Lite’s objection to women in swimsuits in advertising and decided to put a man in the swimsuit instead.

Elon Musk once tweeted:

"The fastest way to lose a boner..." with a less then flattering picture of Bill Gates...

Well played Adidas you have now taken the crown.

I wonder what the return on investment is for this ad? I just showed my wife and she laughed. She isn't interested in buying the swimsuit that's for sure. So again I ask, how do you make money from this? I don't think anyone non trans looks at this and says "wow stunning and brave lets buy Adidas!" I just don't understand why shareholders are not in revolt ageist this stuff.

Their customer base doesn’t care. This isn’t the same demo as BudLight, this is the young trainer/sneaker buying demo and they will literally buy the product of childslaves without caring.

It feels like we've gone back in time to the age when men played women's roles on stage because women weren't allowed.

Also I know we're supposed to applaud 'gender-bending' men but face it, most of these men just look either ridiculous or deviant

The pint-sized baby-buyer, Tom Daley, is promoting this campaign. But sports legend Sharron Davies, amongst others, is letting Adidas know that they done fucked up.

At the bottom of this article they have more photos from the campaign. 🤮
