Someone said alcohol shouldn't be allowed to advertise just like tobacco isn't. I agree and have many things to add to the list. haha.

I've learned that you can't really have an opinion on Steam.

Sure you can. Whether or not people take it seriously is another matter entirely. That's why word choice is so important.

For me, I have trouble with titling threads. I can make my opinion as compelling as can be, but if I get the title wrong, people won't read it.

I'll just leave this here...

They're done... upset your costumers; destroy your company... no company is "too big to fail"

I have tried to express my opinions in a nice way on the OT, but every time I say anything, I get a ban. So, it makes me feel like I have to walk on eggshells. I never report people unless it's something REALLY bad. Sadly, people can't be fair and let people have their opinions without hitting the report button.

Anyway, here goes; my opinion on this is simple. I don't know exactly why they chose that person for the cover of the beer can; I heard it was to celebrate women. If so, I honestly think that it should have gone to someone who did something to better society in some way. And no, don't get me wrong, I am not against the LGBTQ community or anything like that; as a matter of fact, I am bisexual myself, but I have my reasons for believing that it all wasn't fair. Sadly, I don't think that I can fully state those reasons because I actually tried a few days ago to talk about this subject and some other things in a nice way and got a three-day ban for it.

I think to avoid any side getting hurt, maybe companies shouldn't put the faces of influencers and celebrities on the cover of anything.

Who even drinks Bud Light? Imagine going to a bar and ordering water.

That's when you look around and see what everyone else is drinking, and you order that

It reminds me of this song...

Like this is how those people boycotting a product over merely being advertised by a transgender actually appear to me! Like how would it actually affect you? Do you really believe drinking it will rub off your own insecure sexuality or something? You are joking right? I guess I'm meant to be laughing at it right?!!?!!! Your stupidity is my entertainment.

Also, going as far as Kid Rock and his chick shooting Bud Light cans was an utterly a laugh and a half. Can't even shoot straight. Perhaps just trying to distract other off his own Sexual Misconduct Accusations?

You clearly need a motivation to go that far, which is likely a shift focus and insecurity upon yourself.

Just to trigger you, I'll go out of my own way (like you did), just to purchase some Bud Light (which I've never cared to drink before), drink it and chill. Then watch you rage and take extreme offence to it. Not only do I get a relaxing, refreshing drink, but also front row entertainment.

reminds me of how they've been saying soy turns people gay for decades... except it actually contains high levels of estrogen so there's at least some theoretical logical basis for that claim...

also lol frogs.

People are still on this? I thought this died out a long time ago.

Sounds to me like there's a mod who works across multiple forums that has a personal vendetta against you.
