Re: Conservatives called for a boycott of degenerate Bud Light after it partnered with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney. The company stood by its choice.

Right-wingers called to boycott Bud Light after it partnered with trans 
influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Even Kid Rock got involved and filmed himself shooting a case of the beer.

But the company stood by its choice, saying the partnership was a gift to 
celebrate Mulvaney.

Prominent conservatives demanded a boycott of Bud Light after it partnered 
with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney, with Kid Rock getting involved to 
film himself shooting up cases of the beer in protest.

But the company stood by its choice in a recent statement, saying the 
sponsorship was a gift to Mulvaney to celebrate her "milestone" after a 
year of identifying as a woman.

Mulvaney, 26, posted a video to her Instagram on Monday in which she said 
Bud Light had sent her a can of the beer with her face on to celebrate.

Mulvaney rose to fame as a TikTok star for humorous skits and bubbly 
personality, but saw her followers rise exponentially after she came out 
as transgender a year ago and started documenting every day "of being a 
girl." She currently has more than 10 million followers on the platform.


The backlash to Mulvaney's video started almost immediately, with some 
people saying Bud Light should "know their audience" and avoid Mulvaney, 
or that "the majority of your drinkers are going to cancel you."

Prominent conservatives to take issue with the partnership include Ben 
Shaprio, who reacted with shock on TikTok, and retweeted criticisms on 
Mulvaney, and the writer Ian Miles Cheong.

Divisive internet personality Oli London, who recently said he had de-
transitioned back to a man from a woman, misgendered Mulvaney in a string 
of tweets, and accused her of "mocking women."

The negativity spread across social media, with anti-trans accounts 
expressing anger at the partnership. In some posts, people threw away 
whole cases of Bud Light, while others called for a boycott.

In response, Mulvaney's supporters mocked the uproar, likening the 
responses of mostly grown men to toddler tantrums.

In a statement to BuzzFeed News, a spokesperson for Anheuser-Busch, the 
brewing company that owns Bud Light, stood by its choice to support 
Mulvaney.

"Anheuser-Busch works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as 
one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various 
demographics and passion points," they said.

"From time to time, we produce unique commemorative cans for fans and for 
brand influencers, like Dylan Mulvaney. This commemorative can was a gift 
to celebrate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general 
public."

Mulvaney, who recently underwent facial feminization surgery, has not 
responded to the drama, and rarely responds to online criticism.

In October, Mulvaney did respond to comments made by Caitlyn Jenner, who 
called Mulvaney an "absurdity," and accused her of "exposing" herself in 
public. Mulvaney said the comments provoked abuse and death threats.

"I wanted to reclaim my body in a positive way, and now you've taken that 
and you turned it into something really ugly," Mulvaney said, urging 
Jenner to think back to her own early days of transition.

"You have personally subjected me to thousands and thousands of hateful 
eyes, a number of which could very well want to hurt me, and that's the 
power you have."

Since the Bud Light backlash, Mulvaney has continued posting photos of her 
recent vacation to Copenhagen, and a new partnership with Nike.

"Alert the media — I'm entering my workout era," Mulvaney said, posing in 
a Nike sports bra and leggings.

If you don't agree how a product is marketed, boycott it. Don't buy the 
product. Bottom lines get more attention than anything else.
