I was banned at r/beer because I critize Bud Light marketing, also the mod told me he did not like my Reddit Avatar.

Lol Yeah, I'm sure THAT'S what you were banned for. What particular aspect of their marketing did you take issue with? Maybe you let slip some of your obvious-to-everyone prejudice in your "criticism".

To be fair, their advertising was objectively bad. As can be seen by the results.

And I doubt that mulvany was the issue. People don’t want politics in their beer. I guarantee you that both a pro-choice and an anti-abortion marketing campaign would have negative effects on their sales.

Are the results due to the "quality" of the advertising or the campaign of rabid hate directed towards the lgbt that one of our two parties is concertedly fostering??

>both a pro-choice and an anti-abortion marketing campaign would have negative effects on their sales

Ok? I wasn't commenting on the efficacy of various political themed advertising campaigns, I was challenging the notion that benign lamentation of advertisement quality was what got him banned.

If I had to put money on it I'd put a 3-4 digit sum on what that guy actually got banned for. And it rhymes with ransphobia. Anyone who cares that much about an ad only cares about that ad for one reason. And I'd bet his phobia leaked out in his totally benign criticisms.

The results were due to the fact that people generally crack a beer open to relax and get away from the constant bombardment of politics and the other stresses in their life.

I don’t drink bud anyways since I don’t enjoy the taste of vodka spiked urine, but if my drink of choice started making their opinions on abortion known I’d stop drinking it too.

Make product. Sell product. I buy product. Fin.

The point politics enters the equation, I exit. I’m already so incredibly exhausted from hearing trump this Biden that hunter this Zelenskyy that day in day out.
