Well, you managed two whole paragraphs before the usual woke lgbt nonsense came in.

That's progress, I guess. :roll:

I don't eat Kellog's anyway, cause it tastes like ass, but good on them for at least performatively not being bigots.

Oh no, the woke propaganda blah blah blah.

I despise performative allyship, it's just rainbow washing to make a quick bucket from the LGBTQ community.

Anyway...

The statement by the CEO was ridiculous and in a cosy of living crisis, just really poor optics. Not that I expect anything less from a corporation. Not that the Tories haven't said similar things when pulled up about people struggling to feed themselves...

I oppose the promotion of LGBT ideas, especially considering many Kelloggs products are directed to children.

That said, the only cereal i ever eat is Alpen, so i can't really boycott something if i didn't purchase it in the first place.

If this boycott ensures that kelloggs will get out of business, the boycott will be a cereal killer.

I don't eat cereal, too much sugar. So I cannot join the boycott.

In fairness to the far-right, Anheuser-Busch did take a hit. That is the only example I can think of though, so you raise a fair point.

If they’re against inclusion it’s gonna be difficult to find a company that they won’t boycott because inclusion is inherently more profitable by expanding the audience. Furthermore, the people boycotting are probably people who wouldn’t already use the product. Also, boycotting raises prices, mollify doesn’t lower them, so that entire argument is just made-up. If Kellogg still needs to make a profit, they’ll be able to.

That would be John and he actually questioned the value of male circumcision. Don’t think female was a concept in the US back then…..

Actually Corn flakes were presented to prevent indigestion. The anti-masturbation comments are a misconception.

Fry said that? He was probably joking or bit into the “truth telling” of the Net. It happens. I’ve fallen for such comments a couple times.
