In the United States, the transphobic lobby attacks beer

Did you know: there is a right beer “. We owe this wonderful concept to the pseudo-activist Seth Weathers, who, tired of the ” woke up the thought virus “, created a drink called Ultra Right“ extreme right ” in French. A very manly beer and 100% not woken up (but obviously not without conservatives, given the positions taken by the American entrepreneur).

an idea” brilliant hence, launched on April 12 as part of a broad transphobic campaign led by the backlash lobby against the announced collaboration between beer giant Bud Light and trans activist influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

According to the words of its creator, the Ultra Right has a bright future ahead of it: in a video released on April 25, Seth Weathers was proud to have found a brewery ready to distribute his toad slime.

Who is Dylan Mulvaney?

In early April Dylan Mulvaney, comedian, influencer and trans activist, with more than 10 million TikTok subscribers and 1.8 million on Instagram, posted a video on his social networks with the hashtag #budlightpartner. Surrounded by cans of Bud Light, the actress announces a partnership with the famous American alcohol brand on the occasion of the March Madness basketball tournament. ” Since the month of March is also the occasion for the influencer to celebrate her “365 days of womanhood”, Bud Light specially sent her a can with her image. “, adds the magazine stubborn·.

Incitement to boycott is spreading like wildfire, and videos flourish on the web: Americans can be seen destroying packs of Bud Light in stores, shooting cans or emptying them into the sink by bending over. There NBC it also reports that some restaurants are removing beer from their menus.

For its part, the parent company, Anheuser-Busch, which would have fallen on the stock market, timidly defends its partnership in a half-cool half-grape statement, explaining, on April 14, that it ” never intended to participate in a debate that divides people » :

But the “anti-wake-up” crusade does not weaken, and conservatives redouble their imagination to pour their hatred on social networks, as reported by the huffpost :

Americans recently discovered Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ “koozies”: an accessory to keep her beers cool and cover the labels, taking up the image of the Arkansas governor and former spokesman for Donald Trump. In what deceptively looks like an SNL skit, the clip promotes a prop designed to ” salute real women in politics “. ” And if it covers the logo of a big smart company, that’s okay says the clip’s voiceover.
