Go Woke & Go Broke! New list of boycotted brands..

[Moonandstarz]

So it's June & so far the big companies that are being heavily boycotted are as follows..

Innocent Drinks & smoothies
Oxfam
Target
Nike
Bud Lite
Lego
NZ products
Starbucks

Who am I missing?

Asics. They support the male parkrunner who takes womens places.

Bloody hell. I like Innocent Smoothies but at least this will save me money

What did Lego do? 😥

This article mentions Lego as a boycotted brand! What did Lego do?

Thd dc will be deveststed if I start boycotting Lego.. They were pissed off when I cut out Innocent smoothies but are happy now to have the Tesco ones are as an alternative & can't taste the difference..

Give over ffs... Right I'll edit the list in a while when we get more brands & add Asics. Not even park run is sacred..

Parkrun themselves are anti-women. They are still refusing to remove known biological men from women's times.

The National Trust is at it again.

Why are we boycotting Lego?

Lego have been at it for ages

This was on the same Innocent/Mermaids story as a link.

I'm fine with it so lego can stay in our house. Phew

Nationwide Building Society.

Their social media person/team will hector existing and potential customers online if you deign to query why they are featuring drag as “inclusive” when many find it offensive and a parody of women.

This is useful, thanks OP.

My old list includes:
Marks and Spencer
John Lewis
Lush
Body shop (the bag they sent JK Rowling)

New list includes
Zara - non binary men in the women's changing rooms but at least the shop assistant did try to stop him. Well done that woman, I hope she is ok as he crossed her boundaries and made her feel bad about having boundaries in the first place (and she was just doing her job).

Oh dear kids aren't going to like the Lego boycott 🙄

the interesting thing will be how it affects their profits- or is it a case of no such thing as bad publicity?

No as there's no alternatives.. At least with Innocent smoothies there is all the super market brands which taste very similar & are much cheaper.. My kids are happy with the switch..
Not as easy to do that with lego unfortunately..

Target & bud lite are being hit very badly in the USA.. I think Target has lost 10 billion in 10 days..

Boycotts absolutely work!

I'll have a riot on my hands if I even try to boycott Lego in this house. It's highly unlikely to happen.

Every other product/service, yup. Not a problem.

I'm not sure there is a banking service who hasn't swallowed the trans religion. I guess, it's the extent of how much, at this stage.

@raspberrywine yep unfortunately same here.
Every other brand is doable, used always buy them & me Nike runners, bought New Balance last month in protest after the Dylan Mulvaney ad, I love the New Balance so do the dc, problem solved & I'm protecting my "values" 😁

Second hand Lego on Facebook and eBay?

That's what we do!

How many of these have "gone broke", exactly?

Why are pink news the source of who to boycott though?!

North face

Target has lost 10 billion in the past 10 days.. Shareholders won't be happy at those losses. They may rethink their products & messaging in the future to prevent such losses again @Astralitzia
Money talks & when companies bottom lines are going to be hit they quickly retract their messaging hence Oxfam & Innocent drinks quickly deleting their messages rather than turning off commenting or deleting comments that went against their "values". It was about damage control & trying to prevent further backlash.
