“Watching as professional crybabies like Ben Shapiro tried to get people to boycott 'Barbie' because one of the actresses in the film (Hari Nef, who played Doctor Barbie) is trans, and seeing that has absolutely no effect on the film’s success demonstrates that the Bud Light and Target controversies and capitulations only became big deals because Bud Light and Target responded to the outrage as though it were genuine.”

@wdlindsy What? Bud Light sales dropped 30%, it is for the first time in decades not the #1 selling beer, and stores are struggling to sell cases for under $10. I don’t agree with these idiots, of course, but the boycott is making a real dent in sales. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/29/business/bud-light-sales.html

The brand is still struggling to win back customers. Nowhere is that more apparent than at stores, where cases of the beer sit untouched.
