Bud light is a famous recent example. Of course, the company is large enough that it didn't make the company bankrupt, but it hurt them

  It hurts my heart that all the examples above of companies hurting people or lying have very few consequences but bud light took a brand hit because they paid a trans person.

    Not because they paid a trans person, but because they made them part of the marketing. A product mostly marketed to the very demographic that is transphobic. It’s not at all surprising this backfired. Companies only started putting gay couples in commercials regularly years after gay marriage was legalized nationally.

      Did you see Mulvaney's portrayal of "girlhood" though? Incredibly, ridiculously sexist. Let's not forget that the backlash against him has been for a variety of reasons, and one of them is his blatant misogyny.

      Yeah I didn't say "I can't believe this happened!?" I just said it makes me feel bad about things.
