Of course! But heard mentality is dangerous as fuck.. we saw it with the trump movement, the q anon movement, the liberal movement a lot of different things..

I like trump but I don’t love him nor do I agree with everything he does. I like de Santis better than trump..

I like coors light better than bud light. I don’t like the fact that they have given a lot to dem policies.. I could careless that they ran pride
Cans and support those movements even though I’m not gay.. weirdly enough I can be in a room with my gay friends and not give a shit either.. hell there’s even a trans member on this website that I’m proud to call a friend. Even though he became a she, she’s still got more balls than anyone in this thread. K boat pretty much spells that out.

I wonder if bud light made dana757 a can (one single can) if rdp would he losing their shit like this? Which drives home the point. I don’t think anyone would give a shit?



What’s going on here is heard mentality and bandwagoning..

They make thousands of these cans for all
Sorts of people.. (or at least used to) from baseball players to local people if they accomplish some sort of goal or have any kinda social media presence.

Shit before all this I’d bet they woulda made me an rdp can for the charity fund raiser we just did.

Its one can of beer.. somehow that has now become the symbol for a movement I get it.. but that movement is full of sheep, and I’m not one of them.

Every year we goto key west. Every year tank and I go have beers at the drag bar because the people that own it are friends of his. When they come out west they stay at his house..

Because tank and I go and have beers does that make us the symbol of everything trans? Will
We revolt and try and take down rdp because of it?

I thought being conservative was about freedom? I thought conservativism was about individuality?

Seems like if you don’t “fit the mold” than its fuck you.. that’s how liberals think, not so much me.

Vote with your wallets I get it.. people are free to do what they want. But at least understand what it is and why you are doing it.. don’t just by the hype of internet memes and Ben Shapiro..

Like I said before you guys do whatever ya want. It doesn’t bother me. I personally will be supporting those that support the boating cause, the conservative cause, the local causes.. and that my friend no matter how you slice it is in fact AB and more particularly Romer beverage locally.

RD

Well said. 👍🏼

I have a solid friend who is gay. Super cool dude. But ya know what?

He feels exactly the same way I do about all this!!!

And exactly how is that??

We both view this bullshit as virtue signaling and nothing more. AB is not supporting the trans community, they are Only trying to line their pockets.

He gets that. I get that. And I'm sure you get that as well.

AB needs to honor the real heros of this world and support them with dollars and sense.

This issue is Not about the trans community as much as it is about AB's lack of support for true heros.

When they put our friend Roland's face on a can, a guy who crawled into buildings during 911, I'll be impressed.

Till then? They can suck it. 🖕

Well then, why are the "boycotting" public sheep? What else can we do? We have no other voice than that which our dollars make, or don't make.

Because the vast majority of them don’t even know what the situation. People are referring to this as a major ad campaign. They sent Dylan a single wrapped can. It wasn’t even a case!

Most the people think the CEO’s of AB approved this or that they know everything about the ins and outs of a company that size..

There are divisions on top of divisions on top of divisions.. the words “vp” does not mean that chick was anywhere near the top.

The authority to print a single can and send it to someone is pretty low on the totum pole which was the chick beneath her.. The vp chick approved it and probably did it with a smile.

By the interview there’s no question she is a whack job lib.. just like every other Ivey league graduate these days. Why they hire those people
Is beyond me..

If the backlash accomplished nothing else at least those two don’t work there anymore.

I think you might be underestimating the mob.
There is no levels of worstness.

Hahahaha. If you read my posts, I switched from O'Douls to Heineken 0.0. But I get it, I have no say in the matter. :rolleyes:

Holding back dollars is literally the only language corporations understand.

I do find it interesting that you believe I should have no interest in the societal decay of America, simply because I gave up booze?

I guarantee if they did that and posted her up doing her thing their sales would improve. I can't believe that you are comparing her to Dylan. Dylan is a show whore, nothing else. You have your blinders on, and that's OK. You have done well in your community while the ESG crowd is planning 15 minute cities. You find it bizarre that a company with the name "Off Road" in it is not able to advertise on main stream tech.
Serious question- I'm happy that you go see your friends drag shows, but if your daughters school was having a performance with some of these sexual inuendo's, would you let her attend? How about if you didn't know about it and she came home with pictures on her phone?
That's why the "sheep" are mad. It's the straw that broke the camel's back.

I didn’t agree with any of that either.. that said this is a singular beer can as in one beer can
It was not a single can. It was a custom printed 6 pack along with a social influence agreement ($$) to market BL in his social media videos. Based on the views his videos received, he would receive additional compensation. The reaction was compounded by some mid-level marketing VP being interviewed and insulting the BL consumer.

Now, AB is in a very difficult position, With a 26% decline in pours (consumer consumption and sales) from the launch of this social media campaign the company is limited. Try and win back those who left and the 1% they were trying to market to will cause so much noise, AB will see additional declines in pours. As one disturber stated in the article I read - I lost all my country bars, and now am at risk of losing my gay bars. If those go, my business is at risk.

AB is in a no win situation and just announced distributions will be receiving free units to offset local loses and workers will get a free case. Free beer will not increase sales. They need to launch a campaign focused on having a drink with your friends, no matter what race, sex, etc and hope that is the start of people forgetting. That said, those that left will never forget and most likely not return to BL.

I am certainly no sheep. I will never buy an AB beer again. I have a friend who's BL consumption was ridiculous and he's an extremely easy going guy. Even he has switched brands. They won't die on this hill (yet they are trying to) but they won't recover from it any time soon if ever. The distain for what's going on right now and being pushed as ok is off the charts and will not be tolerated by the masses. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.

the CEO is responsible for everything that falls under the company and is the first person people point to when things go wrong and or great. In this case bad, so from the top down why did the CEO put in charge someone to HIRE this "nutjob". IF as you say multi layers of people. Just keep asking why? If there was no backlash and sales continued as is. These questions do not need to be answered. Does the CEO need to approve all things down to that level? Absolutely not!!!! however, when you lose 26% of sales and 5 Billion in market cap, perhaps they should?

you see the same thing with private schools and home-schooling trends on the rise. The 99% of people are sick of the trans movement and are not ok with this being force fed down our throats.

Yaaa, no.
If most everyone likes or dislikes something, that doesn’t make it sheeple or heard mentality, that makes it that most everyone agrees. Pretty simple.
When a large group believes in something or someone and somebody doesn’t like it, it gets labeled heard mentality to try and lesson the groups validity.

So you don’t blame Biden for the state the country is in? I mean after all how could he know the ins and outs of a government our size? 🤣

Dave, every marketing initiative a company of that size does has an approval chain. It was not “a can” it was a influencer marketing campaign. If the single can you keep bringing up never existed.. there are pictures of him drinking beer in the bath, holding up 6 packs, etc. cans of beer on platters etc. The trans can is almost meaningless. At this pointed AB wishes they just would have sent the trans can and nothing else at this point.

I remember all the calls to boycott Nike in 2018 over the Kap advertising. And that was a directed fully approved ad campaign.

No one cried for the Nike shoe distributors then.

There is a giant difference between someone having a drag bar in key west.. and putting on drag shows at a school.

That is kinda the point I was making

A drag show is as wrong at a school as is a strip show.

Some think one is worse than the other.

What adults legally do on their own adult time is of no concern to me. That’s the whole point of freedom and your point.

I’m in Pennsylvania for work this week, I didn’t know alcohol was controlled by the state here, in other words you can’t just pull into a gas station and buy a tall can…has be state approved location or some shit like that…I only learned after stopping at a few spots…that being said, found a small store that had been state approved, and they were pretty much wiped out of everything that wasn’t AB product…was looking for some CL’s, ended up getting some Pabst

So even in a state where there isn’t a liquor store on every corner, AB isn’t selling like it used to.

Looks who in trying to support and deflect for the outlier.......................an ESG promoting globalist!!! 🤣


This is not about a BL can being made for a demented bought and paid for tranny, it's about a society who's finally reached a breaking point with the degeneracy that is being forced upon it.

Still entertaining.

I’ve always respected RD in his ability to twist and turn facts to win an Internet argument. To watch him choose to defend this one takes guts and isn’t a hill I would choose to die on.
He’s choosing it because one local AB distributor is his friend and supports the boating community…like I mentioned earlier I have a good friend in AB corporate, and this wasn’t one person making decisions, this was a campaign that was approved by the corporate big wigs

I could careless if they made Dana a can. She is not trying to force things on people. She is not out being a cartoon characature of a woman. She is not talking about tampons. She is and always has been, as far as I can tell, a gearhead. She does not brag about being a women, the only thing I can think of her bragging (and I wouldn't call it bragging if I could think of a better word, is her flatty and how it's running.

I have friends at AB corporate as well.
Was told a slightly different story.
Corporate approved a large social media influencer campaign. DM was the first and his was supposed to be followed by multiple other social media influencers across a large demographic of individuals (straight, gay, black, white, athlete, etc…). They stopped after DM, because the next influencer was also a targeted new consumer and blowback might continue.

Tell that to the “movement”.
Because everything I see these days indicates I’m a homophobe for thinking those are different events.
