  The fuck it is. It’s bullying.

    How it is bullying? You think people should be forced to buy a product that they don’t agree with?

      @wintermute_oregon @Hobbes_Dent I think a more straight question would be, are boycotts bullying? Or activism against a company bullying?

        Boycotts are a way to express disagreement with a company. You could say I boycott Bud Light because it tastes disgusting.

        In a free market, people can decide to buy or not buy your product. When you market, it is best to keep that in mind.

        Bud Light drinkers are not a sophisticated crowd. They need to keep their marketing simple, bikinis, grilling, trucks, etc.

        How the fuck can a consumer bully a corporation.

        You’re just moving the golaposts.

        Bud said “fuck you” to their primary consumers. They, in turn, said “OK”.

        This wasn’t a boycott.

        Bud told their primary consumers they didn’t want Bud Light associated with them.

        So their primary consumers went elsewhere.

        The weak cannot bully the strong.

    They gave the finger to their primary consumers, they even said so. And their primary consumers left.

    Why are you defending a 108 billion dollar company?
