[Lpherr]

Apparently, no one learned from A-B.
Let them fall...

Maybe Dylan is the dark horse we need.
Maybe everything he touches will die or at least get burned enough to recoil.

Perhaps he will usher in the end of days for at least some of this woke ********.

You don’t really believe anything has changed because of a couple of weeks of slow sales for one company do you?

 

[Wolfhound]

So they went from maybe it’s Maybelline to maybe it’s a dude?

This could be spot on, Alinsky says there needs to be a target, a catalyst. This could be it…

Well I don't use their products..

 

[Lpherr]

Well I don't use their products..

But... they want you to.

Maybe they believe the demographic is different, and it won't affect them.
It seems pretty arrogant.

Who is Maybelline’s core customer? I’m assuming it’s white women and isn’t it mainly white women that are sympathetic to this trans stuff? I’m not sure this boycott will have the effect the AB boycott did.

 

[BigMoose]

Feck no.

Only thing I use is Coal Tar shampoo. (Seriously thats what is in that dark flake removal shampoo)

 

[rhamersley]

Damn...

 

[Cameramonkey]

Ive needed a reason to switch.

Not the one I'm married to.

Oh, thank goodness. I was afraid for a second that this pseudo academic wasn't going to blame all of the backlash on the GOP. Clearly this has all been a well orchestrated campaign by the huge, monolithic, scary, oppressive dark monster that is the GOP. They've obviously just been waiting for some unwitting patsy like Mr. Mulvaney to stumble into their trap.
Siiiiiiiiiighhh....

This is probably just to strangle new competition in the cradle.. "Big Cosmo" is probably afraid of an upstart getting a foot in the door catering to trannies...then later enlarging their line to include actual women. So this is gatekeeping insurance against anybody new using an emerging social trend to gain entry to an industry.

Like Ruger making a cheap potmetal single action to stop Heritage from growing. When you're big, you can chase pissant market segments to stop anybody getting a foot in the door. The key is, does your attempt to run away potential competition, also run away existing customers? Modern companies seem to fear competition more than boycotts.

My guess is Maybelline would rather eat a boycott for a few months, than take the chance some "socially responsible" vegan skincare company exploits an opportunity to expand into cosmetics marketing to trannies..

So you are still in the closet with your identity then?

 

[KittySlayer]

This couple has quite the conundrum now...

 

[BigMoose]

I identify as Grumpy Old White Dude..
I don't even buy old spice..

Though I am with my father on one thing. He used to have this thing about making up funny names for companies that made mostly products for women. I know he made up one for Maybeline but I can't remember it.

The one I can remember was the one he made up for Lane Bryant/Bylane.
Indianapolis Tent and Awning..

I am going to call him later maybe and ask him if he can remember the funny name he made up for Maybeline.
