The guy explained it well. They should cater for their customer base (guys that buy beer), simple as that.
corporations do this ALL THE TIME, and it's odd. they must do some really shitty calculation about the # that will leave vs the number they can acquire and pull the trigger.
but it's been happening more often with corporations making woke moves and undervaluing social media campaigned boycotts.
maybe they got tricked by past events like Chik-Fil-A, who was "boycotted" but never missed a beat. Right winged boycotts seem far more successful lately than Left winged boycotts. just from a cursory view.
hogwarts legacy, chick fil a, Goya, etc. all were failed attempts to amplify outrage that ultimately failed.
i think the reason is fairly clear, at least to me. left wingers try to boycott on behalf of a minority group, whereas right wingers boycott from a majority collective. the difference being convincing others to boycott on behalf of someone they might not even know, vs boycott on behalf of yourself.
white's stopped buying goya beans, and hispanics didn't. white purple hairs didnt buy hogwarts, everyone else did. but rednecks stop buying bud light, which has MANY alternatives, and it's actually effective.
bud light should have come out with a seltzer that calls itself a beer, at least that would have been funny, bud light trans orange-mango.
