I know nothing about this but I'm guessing it's a chud wine in response to the Bud Light boycott.

I know Americans are dumb and transphobic, but this has got to be the dumbest chud protest I've seen in my life. I thought freedom fries were bad, I thought the Keurig machine thing was funny too, but they're completely boycotting the most common beer in the US because of like 3 Instagram posts from a trans woman.

Bud Light has been sponsoring pride events for like 20 years now. Also they're an evil corporation who puts piss in cans and sells it as a beverage. You'd think the low quality of the beer would have been a reason to boycott, not whatever happens on Instagram

The largest spike in post-boycott beer sales is for brands with the same owner. The money is all going to the same place still lol.

The chuds are just buying Modelo now, right?

The numbers I saw, it was distributed between a few. Modelo has been attracting chuds ever since it started sponsoring UFC though, so it might not be the only correlation.

? I was pointing how ignorant the boycott chuds are.

Yeah, sorry, it was late and that was the only "horse shoe theory" emoji that came up quickly.

About an hour after I posted that comment, I actually thought to myself, "Shit, its gonna be taken as a dig at ESL and not a dig at chuds."

No worries comrade, thanks for clarifying.

A misfired attempt at using a "horseshoe" theory emoji.
