Is Bud Light Right And I'm Wrong?

I'm talking about the scattered nature of the anti-woke agenda, really.  I don't think drinking a pro-gay beer is likely an acceptable alternative to bud light for people who are up in arms about bud light.

And yea, I get the trans thing and people's misgivings have merit, but it's also easy to see it getting lost in a real "what is it this time?" bit of fluff.  People can have issues with trans in sports, and children transitioning, but I don't see how making a concerted effort to boycott a company that paired with a trans person who to my knowledge is not competing in women's sports and is not a minor has to do with that.

Now maybe this person is using this fame to preach about kids transitioning and/or trans women in women's sports, I honestly don't know.  I see that people are trying to open my eyes to the idea that there is bi-partisan misgivings about trans people, but my point is that the dude bros at a bar who will ride your ass for drinking bud light probably wouldn't recommend drinking a "shove that gayness down my throat" beer as an alternative.


If trans people are a bi-partisan wedge issue, so be it.  I'm just talking about marketing here, and I'd argue that stuff like this is more of a distraction than anything.  But we need our distractions, I say as I argue on the internet.
