Bud Light, the once iconic beer brand, continues to suffer the consequences of its partnership with "transgender influencer" Dylan Mulvaney. RedState wrote dozens of articles chronicling the saga (see here, here, and here for more details), which ended with a mass boycott that dropped Anheuser-Busch's market cap by $11 billion.
For those needing a recap, the trouble started when Mulvaney, a man who claims to be a woman, released a video of himself sitting in a hot tub with a can of Bud Light. On the can was a picture of Mulvaney's face celebrating his supposed "365th day of girlhood." A few other subsequent videos were put as well,

Can we please retire the word “mislead” and call it what it is - lying.

Mislead? When someone is born with boy parts and is passed off as a girl, thats misleading. Its also mentally ill. Drinking often removes us from reality for a while, but not that far.

This is a business. Those in charge have to know their customer. Why or who made these decisions that has destroyed AB?

I can see exactly how it happened. Corporate underlings get directives from the top tier, in this case marketing genius Alissa Heinerschied, a trendy Euro who couldn't possibly understand the image once held by an iconic beer in America and her underlings dare not risk their cushy jobs in a company that enjoyed tremendous profits, so the "go along to get along" instinct kicks in. The guys would have known the idea and the relationship with Mulvaney was going to be controversial but before the beer went into freefall, saying anything would have taken courage that they did not have. Transgenderism is accepted by more women than men but unfortunately for them, it's mostly men who drink the beer. They didn't speak out but the customers certainly did. Nobody was "misled," this was supposed a Super Bowl-level kickoff to a new era. They fumbled the ball on the first play.

The Despicable Europeans bought Budweiser some years ago! AB InBev is a Dutch Holding Company...Has anything Good ever come out of Holland or Belgium? Methinks not!

A_B had a chance to put out thew fire they lit by saying it was an April Fool joke. (It debuted on 1 April) but with that much money involved they couldn't back away.
That's not beer, and that's not a woman.

FTA: "The company simply didn't care that it would be spitting on the beliefs (backed by objective reality) of most of its customer base. "
That's not true. The company DID care, and they were happy to do it. Look up the company's formal DEI policy. The Bud LIght move was perfectly in synch with that policy, which itself cares not one bit aboult the beliefs of their customers. Inbev (owner of Bud LIght and NOT a US company) deserves everything they got. They are lucky to have the backlash limited to Bud Light.

Dylan Mulvaney is going to give Irishmen a bad name. Has he lopped off his wedding tackle yet?

I can't imagine someone paying that fake female $185,000 for almost nothing. Her schtick is obviously working very well. Just look at how much coverage she has had with other products.

Corporations are like politicians. They are never able to read the room because they’re too caught up in their personal opinions. Corporations need sales and politicians need votes. They need to stop watching liberal news where everyone is either gay or trans. They are a very small percentage of the population and have no economic power outside of what they can squeeze out of idiotic CEO’s. This a proven losing strategy. Let them go broke.

#7, the article was not about Bud Light being misled; it was about Bud Light misleading the public as to its relationship with Mulvaney.
Commenter #1 pointed out that the headline itself is misleading.

Bud Light jumped on the grotesque male-fantasy bandwagon, paying a creepy biological male $185,000 to "celebrate" womanhood by dressing up as a woman. Clearly, Bud Light customers were not amused, nor were they too stupid to figure out that what the corporation was "celebrating" was a grown man pretending to be a woman. There's a reason blackface is neither funny nor acceptable.
Some overly ambitious folks have faked their heritage in an effort to receive recognition or positions they don't deserve, but when that happens they are usually shamed for trying to exploit the system for personal gain. It's disheartening to see a corporation pretend that men dressed and made up with cosmetics to resemble women are a cause for celebration.
Like our politicians, corporations have also forgotten who serves whom. Both have been pushing women to accept men in their bathrooms and locker rooms, which isn't how we treat women in a healthy, well functioning America. Stay alert, as our military has plans for men and women to share showers and locker rooms.

This is NOT a surprise. We all suspected this from the beginning. My local Costco doesn't even offer Bud Light for sale in the beer aisle.
