    As a trans woman, I def see where Theo is coming from with the role of the company amid the backlash. For her own mental health, I am not sure if Dylan should have taken the gig; however, she's no stranger to being the right's trans scapegoat, so maybe she was ready for it. I think what gets lost in all of this, especially for straight people, is that Bud Light has been making LGBT targeted ads for YEARS and is one of the most popular beers at gay bars all across the US. In a business sense, this is a perfect storm for them. All they have to do is sit by as crazy right wingers and transphobes literally destroy product they already payed for themselves, and then all of the normal people will either continue buying it as normal and/or start buying it again when people stop talking about it in two weeks. They benefit from the huge amount of exposure, and most of the backlash will fall in Dylan herself. There are also a wide variety of alcohol companies that make lgbt ads, Jack Daniels, Absolut Vodka, and Smirnoff are big ones just to name a few. I think this is just one of the many times the right tries to virtue signal their outrage over LGBT issues, so they can seem righter than thou.
    Also just to respond to the puberty blockers thing. I understand the hesitancy where Theo is coming from. If you're not exposed to trans people, hearing that some adolescents can be prescribed medication for trans issues can be quite a scary thought. But I ask you to dig a little deeper and see past the sensationalized rhetoric surrounding this issue. No, a young kid or teen cannot go to a doctor's office and get hormones after one conversation with a doctor. There are a wide variety of steps that one must take before they can even be considered for them as well, usually this involves a year at least of therapy, a signed letter from said therapist, and at least 6 months to a year of social transition. When I started hormones in liberal NJ, I was required by my doctor to have socially transitioned for a year and get that doctors note that I talked about before that social transition is usually the first thing that a potentially trans kid is told to explore. Try out a new name, present your clothes in a different way, etc.. After all of that a decision is then made between the child, their parents, and a physician/endocrinologist. Like all medical decisions, it should be up to the patient, their parents if they are a minor, and medical professionals - NOT THE GOVERNMENT. The science is there if you're operating in good faith and it costs nothing to treat trans people with respect and dignity, especially in the climate that we live in now.

You’re going to vote in favor of that instead of against it because of who you are. Trans or not these things are currently happening and the left (majority of who trans Vote for) are allowing it and even encouraging it. Doctors are making a fortunate off of transitioning kids (who statistically come to regret the decision). SURE BE TRANS no one cares what fully grown adults do.

When you turn them down, they might yell, cuss at you, follow you. unless you let em down easy, and that always felt like being an ant in an antlion's trap trying to claw your way out while they pull you in.
    Now after my transition, I still can't feel safe. I've never been afraid of a dragqueen or a trans woman in life. I've always been afraid of men, still am. And a lot of men don't listen to girls or trans people, or least of all, abuse survivers. They only listen to the news 🤷

      Seen plenty of people in the trans community de-transition and even transition in the first place for a relationship, so it's true a lot of people don't do this for the right reasons. Hate to say something this generalizing but I'm under the impression most girls have the same childhood experience I had. I mean it's common, men creeping up on kids is all over the place. I wasn't attractive either, very poor andscrubby. The prettier girls and the girls who look older get it worse.

Just look at the Balenciaga collection. People following trends to look homeless. Advertising and propaganda are similar but propaganda has a nefarious agenda. If you can convince people to spend $500 on a paper clip(Prada) you can convince an idiot to do anything. Unfortunately most people are not that bright.

      @@gaysfortrump2024 I'm pretty similar. In fact, advertisements create brand aversion for me because I dislike being manipulated. I actively avoid buying branded products and somewhat secretly despise people who wear branded clothing. It's a prejudice for sure, but I can't help but feel the deepest contempt mixed with pity at seeing someone not just advertise a product, but pay a premium for the privilege to do so. The vanity of buying a branded product so you're not "off-brand" is so deeply pathetic that inspires revulsion in anyone with a modicum of intelligence.
      Watching advertisements makes me feel physically ill, somewhat anxious, and occasionally furious. Nonetheless, that does still mean I'm being manipulated by the propaganda, but in the opposite intended direction most of the time. Still influence, though! You need serious training, diligence and critical thinking to try and separate yourself from that influence. As you say, you're still not perfectly immune. And at the very least, it affects others around you, which in turn affects your life through interaction with those people. They may provide certain subtle frames of reference that influence your thinking, propagating the mind-virus unconsciously, and you wouldn't even be aware it's happening. But fortunately, yes, we can train ourselves. Media literacy and propaganda resistance training should be taught to all children. This would also help avoid the "fake news" effect. Yes, of course all news is "fake" in that it's biased and has a motive. The funny thing with the "fake news" decriers is that they usually opt to get news from even more biased and propagandizing sources that lure them in through an addiction to outrage and smug superiority. Can't say I'm immune to that, either.

    Here’s the cycle:
    -Company makes some kind of marketing campaign that is vaguely socially conscious maybe either out of genuine interest to spread that message and/or to appeal to a certain audience.
    -the audience it isn’t marketed to gets outraged and starts making a shitstorm over the Internet and on network outlets
    -People on the other side flock to defend said business and/or call out the backlash, and thus the business gains a bunch of attention, notoriety, and thus money.
    -Another company sees the fruitful opportunity of using social issues as marketing campaigns and thus the whole cycle starts over.
    I feel like this kind of branding and marketing wouldn’t be all that intriguing if these company’s knew there wouldn’t be some kind of polarizing effect. You’re going to lose a certain kind of customer, but you’re also going to gain the respect and loyalty of another customer.

    • @crossmarian773

      I'm in marketing, and to be honest, this kind of strategy isn't really rational from a marketing perspective. Choosing Dylan as a face of the company isn't congruent or synegistic with the overall brand image. Also, trends show younger people are drinking less and less, so it doesn't make sense to specifically market to them (which is the primary demographic following Dylan) at the cost of alienating your main customers.
      Socially progressive marketing can be effective, but this type of brand is so far removed from the demographic that strategy appeals to that it doesn't work. It would be a good strategy for some kind of hipster-y IPA beer, but Bud Light is firmly positioned as a beer for male middle aged manual laborers and the like.
      In marketing, one of your main priorities should be customer retention and building long term relationships, as this is where the majority of your sales will come from. Alienating your core base by drastically altering the brand image just for the sake of getting some awareness on Twitter and the news doesn't make sense.
      Outrage can be effective in some circumstances to get into the news cycle, but you shouldn't outrage your customer base in ANY circumstance. An example of good outrage marketing would be Grand Theft Auto 5, which got into the news for its outlandish and provocative content, but this worked primarily because it caused ourage for middle-class, religious, surbuban mothers who are not the target audience, and it also helped reinforce the brand as this counter-culture kind of product which appealed to its target demographics.
      It's likely this strategy came from a desire to boost their CEI score. It doesn't make sense from any kind of logical marketing standpoint.

    Stavros... not every trans person has bottom or top surgery, or has taken hormones that 'level the playing field.' And it's a trans person's fundamental right to take the physical form that is most comfortable to them. It's not a fundamental right to participate in sports, and it's definitely not fair for someone to compete in oppsite sex sports when they have already developed physical characteristics that give them an unfair advantage. All that said, I always will fight for the rights of trans people to have safe, happy, healthy lives... we have to be fair and realistic about things that are not fundamental.

      Majority of trans is still attracted to the opposite sex. So if a man transitions to a woman they are still attracted to women. It’s very complicated. I have experience with several being a makeup artist in the 90s. Even drag queens are entirely different. Most identify as gay who perform in drag theatre. My experiences with individual men who sought me to help them transition-revealed to me how much of a fetish it was to them. Ex: sexual gratification from wearing lingerie to then complete transition to women in public. And these examples are just a few on the dozens I could mention. I think parents have a right to be concerned and trans conversations do not belong in schools. Let kids be kids and not burden them with this.

    I feel like the bit about having no girls not being attracted to you resulting in you thinking there's no chemistry with women so your only option of finding love is with guys is so spot on for me. Like I had bulimia in my teen years and had such low self esteem I went crazy and hallucinated girls thinking that I was cute then ugly for like 7 years straight. No joke every class period at school for 7 years was "acceptance," "rejection" over and over again. Before my eating disorder I knew I thought girls were pretty. This was even after when I was sexually assaulted as a kid. Like to this day I thought I was gay and maybe I am but maybe I'm bi.

      I feel like you’re speaking to me. I’ve lived my life as a gay guy and now I’m like… maybe I’m not as gay as I thought. I always thought of myself as obese and disgusting and just assumed that a woman would ever want to be with me sexually. My sexual experiences with men have been meh and in my last relationship I almost never wanted to have sex while my boyfriend wanted to have sex like twice a day; it put a bit of a strain on our relationship. I had to evaluate why I have always felt my relationships have felt “off” in some way and then I was like… maybe it’s because I am not as attracted to men as I thought I was and maybe it’s because I am thinking about women a lot.

Sexuality is CRAZY complex. The "born that way" narrative seems less science-based and more like it was born out of desperation by the gay community as a reaction to the hate that gay people receive.

    I think we should all err on the side of "why do I care?". If it isn't affecting you, why waste energy frothing at the mouth about it? I do think that children shouldn't be allowed to make permanent changes to their body until they reach adulthood. However, the issue as a whole is representative of all social issues we fight about. People overreact because media highlights points of division for ratings.

      @connormcdonald5075 i agree with the caveat that I do think children should be given the freedom to develop their own opinions about themselves and shouldn't be shamed if they don't fit into the binary. Children learn about sex whether we want them to or not, so the parent should discuss this (at an appropriate age) so they are taught about sex from them and not the world. If parents are worried about trans people on TV, then they should limit their exposure by parenting (imagine that, haha). If you don't want them watching Bert and Ernie, for example, then use parental controls. You should discuss these topics so they can adequately process any positive or negative influence. Parents seeking to control every show, movie, book, etc, because they don't want it to influence their children, don't realize that the world isn't going to conform 100% to their beliefs, and therefore you have to take the initiative and be an active parent.

      I think this is something that could fit here, but my counter argument is "pandering vs reprisentation". As a trans woman, I love it when I see a good story with a well written trans character that is authentic. I do not like to see "filler episode with guest character you'll never see again who is trans so we can fake caring and give half woke statements about loving yourself with no consequences to anything aren't we great".
      People judged trans people before they had as much time in the spotlight. And that judgement was rarely pne of peace, love, acceptance or tolerance even. Representation, good representation, does wonders. Capitalising on a group of people you don't understand so you can say a lot of things while saying nothing, does not help.
      The whole "shoving down throats" thing is bullshit and was enough for me to suspect you are lying, but I'd rather treat a liar sincerely than an honest man as a fool. Isn't the lack of trans people in media forcing cis shit down our throats? Everything is political until it's accepted and normal. This argument rings empty.

      You are talking about ESG scores but to equate these to being "woke points" is an oversimplification. The subject of an advertising campaign isn't mentioned as a factor in ESG frameworks that I have seen. Anheuser-Busch selling alcohol with a number of negative health effects to consumers is going to be the bigger piece of that pie. Consuming water as the primary resource of production will also ping them into the zone where they aren't getting selected for ESG.
      They did this campaign for two reasons. Firstly, to virtue signal to the more progressive crowd. Maybe it will encourage more sales from more progressive demographics. Secondly, they are very much aware that this would spark controversy. I think they counted on conservatives on social media and news networks propagating their brand well beyond the dollars they spent on the campaign. 'All publicity is good publicity.' Some people might stop buying their products, but they have calculated a win in the greater exposure that the controversy has given them.
