Conservatives and anti-trans trolls have whipped themselves into a frenzy over a recent partnership between Bud Light and trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney. The beer brand sent Mulvaney a custom can featuring an image of her face to celebrate her “365 Days of Girlhood,” and after Mulvaney posted about it on Instagram, transphobes proceeded to call for a boycott of Bud Light’s parent company, Anheuser-Busch.

Many angry trolls have since posted videos on social media in which they position themselves as warriors for the cause by valiantly pouring Bud Light down the sink and declaring their allegiance to other brands.

As they stare into the camera and declare themselves newly loyal to Coors and Miller Light, it is clear they really believe they’re teaching Anheuser-Busch a lesson. They also don’t seem to realize that both of the other brands they mention have publicly expressed support for LGBTQ+ people.

The account “ChudsOfTikTok” posted a series of these videos, joking that Bud Light “made a lot of random white people angry on the internet.”
