The Christofascists have manufactured even more outrage

Recommended Posts

For the culture warriors, both on the left and the right, at what point have you had enough of fighting over this kind of stuff? At what point do you realize that this isn't worth your energy? We're talking about ads targeted at a specific market. It doesn't affect you. Not even a little bit. It's the very definition of low impact.

I say, let God be the judge, if you believe. If you don't, live and let live is usually a great way to go.

Anyways, unlike Bud Light, which needs the rubes, North Face's customer base is a bunch of Subaru driving, tree-hugging suburbanites. North Face I'm sure will be just fine.

People on the right need to shut the phuck up forever about cancel culture. 

Oh yeah, for sure. The right's snowflakes bring quite the avalanche themselves.

The same could be said about the snowflakes on the left...it just won't be said by those on the left.

Lauren Boebert has hit out at clothing company North Face over an advertising campaign featuring a drag queen, telling her followers: "It's time to boycott ANY product North Face has ever made."

The Republican Colorado representative's remarks come amid rising calls by conservatives for a boycott over its "Summer of Pride" campaign, which features Pattie Gonia and was released on Instagram on Wednesday.

Several brands have been the target of condemnation from conservatives over marketing products for the LGBTQ+ community in recent months. While experts have said such campaigns provide an opportunity for brands to appeal to consumers in new markets, critics have accused companies of alienating their traditional customer base.

The controversies sit at the heart of a culture war, and feed into a broader debate about the acceptance of LGBTQ+ individuals in public life.

In the North Face advert, Pattie Gonia says: "Hi, it's me, Pattie Gonia, a real-life homosexual. And today, I'm here with The North Face; we are here to invite you to come out... in nature with us."

Referring to the Summer of Pride hikes it is planning for a second year running, they added: "Last year, we gay sashayed across the nation and celebrated pride across the nation with hundreds of you."

Following the release of the advert, GOP representative for Georgia Marjorie Taylor Greene accused the company of "grooming our children," while former Republican congressional candidate Robby Starbuck said North Face was "screaming at you to not buy their products."

Boebert added her voice to the chorus of criticism, writing on Thursday: "I guess North Face wanted to get a taste of what conservatives did to Bud Light and Target.

Maybe Bobo should have focused on not covering up her husband beating the shit out of one of their sons and then lying to 911 about it than manufacturing outrage because the LGBTQ+ community fvcking exists. 

So, @Bob @Jackrabbit @Rebels18 @Nevada Convert and the rest of you, are you going to follow what your dipshit leaders tell you and boycott North Face now? 

Personally, I view you and your far left little friends in the same category as the Boebert’s, MTG’s, etc. You’re both such epic hypocrites because you do exactly the same thing that you accuse the other of doing. 

If people AS ADULTS want to be trans, be involved in drag shows, etc. this is America and people can do what they want. Don’t go looking for it to be offended. If someone is trying to be a freak show in my face, as a consumer then I’ll complain about it because it’s annoying. But you don’t go looking for it to be offended. 

Where the trans and drag show issue hits hard for moderates of both parties is when it involved kids. If you take that freak show shit to the kids, there’s going to be a war, and I’m on the front lines of that all day long.

I keep reading that Bud Lights sales are way down, and I’m sure they are.

I keep expecting to see some smoking deals on my twelvers. But it hasn’t happened yet.  
 

if it’s not selling, adjust the price.  Especially on a persishable good like beer.  It’s not rocket science.  Dummies.

 

I didn’t boycott bud light, or even care that they had some trans influencer.  I didn’t like that interview with the VP of marketing where she had obvious disdain for her own customer base (ie ME).  She pissed me off.  I also didn’t like when management scapegoated her and acted like they knew nothing about it, that was classic management BS.

Anyway, discount my damn bud light.

There are huge discounts on Bud lite happening. And the brand is forever tainted. It's tranny beer now. Many people want no part of that

Don't bring your kids.  That part is easy.  I am guessing most moderates will not want to see outright sexuality in any sort, so we can agree on that.  Now, what is a little strange is when it is "sexual" solely because of drag, which though not my taste, I don't see that as sexual, it's more of a clown type of thing.  So if the application of what is "sexual" is skewed, then that is an inconsistency and should be called out.  Same with trans existing.  I don't think kids should be going through procedures (very rare exceptions, as nothing is black and white), but if they think they are something else, eh.  It's either a fad, or it isn't.  I doubt many parents here are going to actually throw the kids to the curb over it, so I don't think I should legislate a notion of the such on those who are actually going through it.

 

Now, some images I have seen from some Pride parades, where there are kids, with sex toys and ass cheeks out, I have to question how that got permitted in the first place, and why would someone who has a kid in tow go there.  But I am a non-PDA or exhibitionist type of person, have been my whole life.  But that means if I don't like it, I go away.  If I am watching kids, I go away.  Shit ain't hard.

I remember back in the day when a friend said, "I blew my tranny."    Guessing a different phrase is used now. 

Well, that was before men started chopping their dicks off, women their breasts off and Democrats started mangling kids' bodies.

 I’m not the one defending a boycott. Nor was I on here bitching about cancel culture for the last several years. So miss me with this shit.
