Honestly, I don't even have room to be mad at Budweiser. They did what I knew they'd do. Corporations obviously were really only thinking about trying to make more money by trying to appeal to as many consumers as possible, and when members of the far right seized this opportunity to run off their hate, of course Budweiser only did what they thought would save them the most money.

Like, wow, a shitty corporation does something shitty. Not surprising.

Yes, Budweiser should have stuck by Mulvaney and supported her but I'm not surprised. Just rolled my eyes and thought, "yep another day at the giant corporation factory".

And this is why we need to step up and push back on hatred of bigots really wanting to hate on minority groups with no repercussions.

No one should EVER expect any corporations to do the right thing.

Like,a bit off topic but Neymar still has a career after a Nike employee accused him of attempted rape. He remained at the company after the event and then it wasn't until much later after they investigated the whole thing did they sever ties with Neymar.
And they didn't even come forward with WHY they severed ties with him.

We can take the corporation money because how else will any of us live our lives and be active participants in society if we don't (corporations made sure that'd happen), but I stopped giving a shit if these companies will "do the right thing" because oftentimes, they won't.

I'm not sure how you're both advocating for fighting harder and also defending yourself for not reacting when Budweiser didn't do anything. Fighting includes doing so against the people and companies you'd expect shittiness from.

AYRT
Sorry for the crappy wording.

When I said I have no expectations for companies to stand by sponsor allies they asked to promo their product when shit hits the fan, I meant I am never surprised that they don't. Such as Budweiser coming out and saying, "sorry we messed up" and fired the people in Marketing/PR, because so many brands have simply left the attention of people's anger to defend themselves alone. I was not surprised that Budweiser began thinking about the profits they've lost and not on the fact that Dylan Mulvaney was getting threats and that the people behind the dog piling are campaigns by hate groups.

I want these companies to do better and to be held accountable in some way when they do a shitty thing, but I am skeptical there are real ways we can see with our own eyes in real time of these happening.

Like, I knew Budweiser would react the ways they did, but it's still upsetting and scary.
But I think what I meant to say (and totally didn't because I was like "I can't be mad at Budweiser") is that my anger is more directed toward the media for not criticizing Budweiser's reaction more than at Budweiser.
I already am upset at Budweiser for thinking of the brand's profit losses and public image, but it's even more anger inducing at the media's coverage.
Sorry that I completely left that out.
Late at night and I'm rambling without thinking further on my thoughts.
