The witchhunt continues...

It's Kellogg's fault if they lose money.

... for underestimating the douchebaggery of their customer base?

Fine with me. People need to stop eating that crap and stop drinking ****ty beer like Bud Light, anyway. And if it makes Dylan go away, all the better. This is just another useless narcissistic loser who is famous for doing nothing at all, and makes money from advertising and brand partnerships. They make trans people look like a joke, and managed to **** off both trans people and cis women with their offensive "days of girlhood" videos, which were basically a misogynistic mockery of both trans women and natal women (Dylan was a gay boy until recently, and many gay men are misogynists). Screw 'em all.

Thank you! I think it's crucial to be able to make a distinction between one trans person and all trans people. Maybe I missed it, but I don't think the "trans community" voted for Dylan to be their representative.

In other words, being critical of Dylan says nothing about one's thoughts about any portion of the LGBTQ+ population.

I never implied that all rural people are rednecks. I refer to a subculture that's staunchly insular.

Subcultures aren't necessarily politically homogenous or even all that insular.

 

[Father Heathen]

Yes this does

Poor inanimate object.

It's funny how those who engage in flag idolatry seem to value a piece of cloth far more than they do what it's supposed to stand for.

You know, like freedom, rights, equality...

People should be able to infer from the context exactly the crowd I'm referencing.

Yeah, I get it. I'm just saying that such a tack might produce unintended consequences.

 

[Jayhawker Soule]

In what way, please? I mean, show me how "elitist condescension" is more damaging to human rights for minorities than religiously-inspired hatred for non-conformity.

Seriously?

I never implied that all rural people are rednecks. I refer to a subculture that's staunchly insular.

Clearly your reference to "the yokel hoard" was directed only against true Scotsmen.

Kellogg's faces boycott calls after mascot poses with Dylan Mulvaney

Tony the Tiger surprised the transgender influencer on the red carpet of Broadway's Tony Awards in NYC.

How do we as a nation rein in the bumbling bumpkin brigade?

From the culture war to the corporate war? Pass the popcorn!

Guess you'll just have to use Yeehawdists.

And frequently don't know the Flag Code or that the US Supreme Court has ruled it is our right to burn the US Flag.

Money is green whomever it comes from. If they want to shoot themselves in the foot over 'ideals,' then maybe it's time to get out of business or the market will do it for them.

 

[Twilight Hue]

It highlights the lengths some go to when compelled to act upon their bigotry.

Then maybe they ought to stick with cereal and keep out of the politicization of their product.

Ideals like equality and human decency? What if racists boycotted a company for having an endorsement deal with a black celebrity? Would you say the same thing?

 

[Father Heathen]

So simply interacting with anyone who isn't a white heterosexual cis male is "political"?

I don't remember the endless celebrity endorsements for Wheaties ever being complained about.

 

[Father Heathen]

Besides, I thought conservatives hated cancel culture and easily offended snowflakes, so what happened, @Twilight Hue ?

 

[Guitar's Cry]

It's Kellogg's fault if they lose money.

Not sure they will, at least long term. Bud Light was a unique situation, since it had the reputation of appealing to a specific demographic. Also, those who would have supported it were turned off by their response and the millions Anheuser-Busch donates to conservative groups. Also, it's not great beer.

The companies supporting transfolk now are betting on it being bragging rights long term.

Do you think that distinction makes any difference to the boycotters?

So Kellogg should value the douchebags?

Promotions with celebrities is a pretty common way for brands to advertise.

I am all in favor of corporate boycotts. I encourage them and would happily participate in them.

... If they are meant to send corporate culture the message that we will not tolerate their unfettered greed.

But unfortunately that is not the message the Trump-bumpkins want to send. And so any possible effect of their boycott will be wasted. And the corporate greed will continue unchecked.
