I mean I don't really give a fuck beyond not buying the beer I was already not buying. I think the marketing campaign is stupid. But that's hardly worth my time to organize a boycott.

Like if some product I buy does a dumbass marketing campaign and sticks shit on the package I don't like, I'll just not buy it. I remember some cookies or something I saw had some emoji movie tie in with the poop 💩 emoji on the packaging and I'm like, "yeah great like I want to think about poop while eating your shit, no thanks"

So like, whether Bud wants to stick a tranny on the can, or an incredibly fat ugly girl, or hell maybe they can stick pictures of babies with fetal alcohol syndrome kinda like they do pictures of lung cancer on the cigarettes now. They can do what they want frankly. I don't really care to buy their shit anyway, and less inclined to buy it now.

It's how capitalism works. I've skipped over shit like movies and games before because my feed was mostly a bunch of woke "oh my god it includes the first ever gay unicorn bisexual school bus!" And like I know it's going to just be some one off gag or throwaway line, I'm not actually mad they have it in, but if that's the only thing you are advertising it just indicates to me you don't have a much substance in your product to sell, and it's not worth my time.

Just don't like the "Rainbow sparkle sparkle" corporate LGBTQ whatever branding. What should we call it. Capitalists colonizing the gays? Gay shit was more fun when the gays organically made their own crap and you got the overly sensitive church types freaking out. Now it's like "buy the beer or you are a bigot" nah no thanks. If we're playing the capitalist guilt trip of "buy x or you are a bad person" guess I'll just be the bad guy then. Ooga booga look at the big scary homophobic communist who won't buy Bud Light! Hide your children they might grow up to drink IPA. Horror! First it's not buying Bud. Then it's buying Tsingtao. Then it's overthrowing the American Democracy in order to install an evil cat based dictatorship run by chairman meow, and the humans will be forced to toil for their lazy female overlords while all the dogs get sent to obedience school. It's a double black diamond slippery slope to a Futurama from the depths of a child's imagination.

Suspect that they're still the only ones freaking out.

They freak out at everything they're an extreme minority and barely relevant in the modern era. The new extremely sensitive church types are the wokers.
