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.

Religion is like a penis.
It's fine to have one.
It's fine to be proud of it.
But please don't whip it out in public and start waving it around.
