CitizenVectron Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Budweiser Factory In Van Nuys Targeted With Bomb Threat | Los Angeles, CA Patch PATCH.COM One Source tells Patch that Anheuser-Busch factories across the nation came under threat Thursday. Fascists doxxing the person's location live on Twitter: With the way the US is heading, I guarantee there will be a public murder of a prominent trans person within the year, and the right-wing will celebrate it.

Ricofoley Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Not even just a single ad, but specifically it's a one minute long Instagram video that I never would've seen in my life had there not been a two week long right-wing media blitz about it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 honestly I feel from a business perspective bud made the right call as I just feel the % of their customers that are bigots is higher than their percentage of their customers that care if they cave to the bigots.

It’s probably huge bigot territory, but watch them just switch to another beer still under their distribution banner. So I’m pretty sure their profits might take a quick hit before it’s just water(american beer) under the bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Shitty conservative media gets most of the blame here. They rile the bigots up, when they probably wouldn’t have noticed this otherwise. I have zero doubts my dad wouldn’t have switched beers(to another pro-LGBTQ company, lol) had he not seen all the drama on the news. I fucking hate these people. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodyHell Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 This whole saga has been pretty ridiculous and disgusting. they even attacked Rogan for saying the outrage about this was some goofy republican bullshit. There was another center right guy they attacked as well, I forget who though. They just keep screaming and I don’t even know what they want me to be outraged about, beyond they sent her a custom set of beer cans and bought a one minute ad from her? I don’t currently know why anyone would seek out being a public figure (besides money). It must be fucking exhausting, and can’t be worth it.

It must be fucking exhausting, and can’t be worth it. The Daily Wire offered Steven Crowder $50 million, which he rejected. His sole claim to fame is being the "change my mind" guy and the only thing he's good for is raising the ambient temperature of a room he happens to be in. $50 million to get in front of a mic and whine. It's clearly not just worth it, but very much so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStar189 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I hate that I clicked on the James O Keefe Twitter video giving it a view but wow is that guy a piece of fucking shit. I don't follow people like this so sometimes I forget how "journalists" like this will act. Then the video ended with a super lame bit with him walking around a store asking "do you carry O Keefe beer?" with Bud Light in his hand. So weird and cringey.

They should have said get over it. It’s an acknowledgment that there’s a big divisive todo. That’s it. There’s no actionable promises to “change” or “do better”. It’s just very passive, “this happened and now we’re moving on” they’ll probably let this blow over and in a few months they will go back to their equality/inclusion message to attempt to court younger consumers without hopefully alienating their current customers too much because the brand specifically and alcohol consumption in general is on a downward trajectory long term 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
