Lauren Boebert takes shot at Bud Light and trans people in misguided statement at rally

Bud Light continues to be the target of right-wingers who hate any form of progressive thinking that promotes equality and allyship towards marginalized groups.  

During a recent rally, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) took aim at the once beloved beer brand and the LGBTQ community, stating that because she did not “see any men in dresses,” she’ll just “assume they’re not serving Bud Light here” before shouting the latest conservative catchphrase, “Go woke, go broke.”

Anheuser-Busch became the right’s newest chew toy after partnering up with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney for a new campaign.

The precious cold pack of commemorative beer, which features her face to celebrate the one-year anniversary of her coming out as transgender, triggered anger amongst conservative who called for a boycott of the beverage. There has also since been a decline in sales, which came with a side irate reaction which gifted the world with a video of Kid Rock taking live shots at a series of Bud Light beer cans. 

Boebert’s remarks are just the latest of attacks. Earlier this month, the dim-witted politician shared a photoshopped image of a Bud Light can depicting Pat Tillman, an NFL player for the Arizona Cardinals, who enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2002 and was killed by friendly fire while serving in Afghanistan in April 2004.

The caption called out the beer brand claiming that Tillman’s image was “the one America wanted.”  However, many critics online cast doubt that most republican who invoked Tillman actually knew his stand on the majority of issues, including LGBTQ rights. 

Twitch streamer Forsen banned from platform with a video involving implied bestiality likely to blame

In today’s snippet of the most bizarre things on the internet, popular Twitch streamer and born-and-bred Swede Hans Eli Sebastian, known by the pseudonym Forsen, has been banned from the platform after violating the site’s rules against explicit and/or inappropriate content. He initially became well-known on the internet for competing in StarCraft II, but eventually found himself a dedicated fanbase after choosing to stream popular video games on Twitch.

The ban came out of seemingly nowhere and seems to incriminate the streamer without full context. It all started when Forsen clicked on and watched a video sent to him by a donator. Within just a few seconds, it’s evident that something isn’t right. The YouTube video seems to be an ASMR video that implies bestiality (sexual attraction of a human toward a non-human animal) as the audio graphically plays out a scene between a VTuber and a horse, during which she performs… questionable acts on the animal. We’ll spare you the details, but yes, it’s even worse than it sounds.

There are a lot of variables to this impromptu ban, especially since there’s fault on both sides here. On one hand, Forsen couldn’t have predicted the kind of video he would be subjected to, but at the same time, he could have quite easily clicked away after noticing that something wasn’t quite right. Regardless, the news spread like wildfire on social media, particularly Twitter and Reddit, as fans and fellow Twitch streamers reacted with a mixture of shock and disgust.

Despite the hundreds of comments on this Reddit thread, it doesn’t seem like anyone’s taking the news too seriously. In fact, as the internet usually does, many have made light of the situation and laughed about it as if it were an old joke between friends.

Even on Twitter, the comments are less than sympathetic.

Forsen himself has yet to post a statement on the incident, but we’ll be keeping an eye on his social media for further updates and inform you of any developments.
