    I think people weren't thrilled to be represented as fratty and out of touch, and therefore in need of replacement by a guy performing on TicToc as a parody of a girl. I suppose it's not necessary for a marketer to respect their base, but it's probably poor form to publicly announce it to the world.

    While that was not a good thing, Stanford University put out a policy statement that she had violated their policy and she was wrong. This is excellent! I can get behind this response and think the issue need go no further than that.

    But now it turns out that this employee has left the employment of Stanford, presumably of her own accord and Reportedly due to cool relations she’s having with fellow faculty members.

    Hers was probably not a fireable offense, but since she was the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Officer of that faculty, she had a Teflon cocoon around her. God forbid you fire your DEI hire.
    I see Stanford’s president is also leaving. Something about fudging his research data.

    Are you implying that silly persona he projects is not a parody? And didn't he say at one point that he began dressing and acting as a girl because he wasn't having much success as a male actor and a friend suggested he do something to draw attention to himself?

    He reminds me of a PeeWee Herman type character.

    Haha!

    The Bud Light fiasco for me has ALWAYS been about this broad Alissa Heinersheid and her highly insulting words about her customers and her fake concern about “kindness and goodness” and most especially her virtue signaling to her fancy friends in New York City. And then AB followed her by making stupid ads, non-apology statements, and “explanation” tours by the CEO.

    Dylan Mulvaney herself is a ridiculous figure and no one with brains takes her seriously. We all had annoying friends like that in college, those musical theater majors who pranced around shouting “look at me.”

    I wonder about people who can get so upset about a beer company's random marketing antics.

    Well, no, I don't.

    We all know what's being said.

    Maybe your college life was different from mine. Rock on with your oh so experienced life. By all means tell us about how your non-standard sexuality influenced how it was affected.

    You're clearly more invested in this than I am so by all means keep trying to explain to us what they were doing while somehow also explaining how you aren't hating on trans folks. Maybe it would help if you went with the "some of my best friends are trans" line of defense.
