The actual woman who put the faux girl on a beer can got fired it seems.
The marketing disaster that was Bud Light’s foray into the woke/trans discussion is hysterical and raises a number of questions:
First, how did a 30-ish prep school Ivy get to be in charge of Bud Light’s marketing in the first place? Since she’s white and privileged it cannot be blamed on DEI, - it must therefore be an archetypical example of the who you know (probably who her dad knows) in the club one of us-ism so she must be good kind of slip and slide form of non-biological nepotism that pervades corporate culture.
Come to think of it, maybe the DEI people have a point…well, no, but she is a poster child for “Really, Really, Really, Really White Live Matter.”
Second, how did no one say “um, well, no maybe that’s not so smart” when she – and I’m sure it was her own personal idea baby – proposed the idea?
The bubble-tea bubble-lives of the new corporatism was put on full display by the situation, a corporatism that is at its heart no different from the big bad old days of companies going overseas with a “we know better” attitude and practically enslaving the natives (FYI - the vid is of King Leopold’s Ghost, a great documentary…not sure why it gets an age restriction…)
And – as King Leopold showed us then and China shows us to this very day – it at least works. Evil, but it, admittedly, has a profitable return, unlike the Bud Light fiasco.
Finally, there is the issue of the influencer …. herself, himself? got it… itself. Dylan is legally an adult and can pick and choose its way in which to destroy its life. However, even amongst trans scammers – sorry, activists – the path Dylan is taking is extremely odd as not only does it involve putatively “changing” sexes, but it also involves going back in time.
You see, Mulvaney is not transitioning into a woman, but a girl and a girl of such stereo-typicality that Dylan’s performance – that’s all it is - is far closer to the idea of the minstrel show than anything else.
It is grafting the ideas and desires of a grown man onto a 12-year-old girl; it is, in a disturbing sense, tantamount to pedophilia by proxy.
On a lighter note…
The internet is a wondrous place, full of detailed information, naked people, and cute animals.
