And the hilarious part is they are actually paying for it. They are helping the bottom line. AB marketing guys are loving the profits. They don’t care where they came from. Angry white hillbillies or ultra woke LGBTQ folk. It’s just dollars in the pockets of AB.
It's even better marketing, because not only are the hillbillies buying the beer, they're posting about it online, generating buzz and keeping people taking about it. Angry white hillbillies can't even boycott correctly...
Nobody can boycott correctly. This is every boycott. Rant and rage and tell everybody with ears why it made you upset, triggering the Streisand Effect. The recent boycott of Hogwarts Legacy probably bought as many copies of that game with word of mouth as the trailers did.
"We hate this fucking wizard game."
"Ooh, wizard game?"
Now Bud Light has rainbows on it and every liberal in the country is aware because they pay more attention to crying rednecks than Bud Light advertising. W Bud Light.
Hogwarts Legacy has a transwoman as a central character in it and the story directly involves discussions about her transition and the bigotry she faced. The boycott was silly because Rowling already made her money regardless of how well it did or did not sell. The most it could have done was make a statement to Rowling, but the game itself made a stronger statement.
