I like the idea. As a straight guy who drinks vodka and soda/tonic I get told my drink is gay from time to time. Now nobody will feel the need to inform me since it's printed right on the can.

They'll still point it out to you.

My husband gets told there are pronouns on his badge all the time, as if he didn't know they were there.

I’d try some Gay Water out of curiosity (if it’s zero sugar), but last weekend when I had a Truly, I had an imploding headache five hours later that was so bad I wanted to die. I think I’ll pass on this and all hard seltzers, because I’m a super lightweight. Heh.

How is the mascot not a gay frog?

Why does food and consumables suddenly have to become political?

When will my Steak have Trumps Face printed on it? Do my cornflakes need some jets and other kind of political messages on it? Fuck no.

I just want to eat and drink. And the only thing I need to know from the packaging is what the product is about. Just stop making food political, what the hell is wrong with this world.

Some stupid print on the package is not going to fix this world in any way.

There is no driver of division to rival missionary behaviour.

Being gay isn't political..

I don't really think this is fundamentally different from how it's always been. Food and drink has always had branding, and I don't see how gay water is truly that much different from any other branding. The only difference I see is that republicans won't stop complaining about it

How would you react if someone prints Jesus Christ, hanging on the cross with bloody hands and feet onto your favourite beer. With a face of pure agony and some letters addressing charity?

Or how would you react if some company prints advertisement of Scientology onto their products.

The only thing that belongs onto a product is something to identify the brand, the expiry date, and what it actually contains.

Its pretty recent that normal companies havs become explicitly poltical, because if they don't partipate, they're seen as part of the problem.

There's no such thing as transphobia. Nobody's irrationally and disproportionately afraid of trannies. If anything, we have the opposite problem.

You're full of enough hot takes to melt steel. Phobia means extreme aversion or fear. Your assertion that something does not exist does not mean it does not exist.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
