A conservative YouTuber is mocking Bud Light Billboards Lol Crybabies collaboration with transgender star Dylan Mulvaney by purchasing billboards that say “Bud Light Billboards Lol Crybabies.”
Conservatives have criticized the beer brand and its parent business, Anheuser-Busch, for their collaboration with Mulvaney. On April 1, the influencer shared an Instagram video of himself breaking open a Bud Light Billboards Lol Crybabies as part of a promotional campaign. Mulvaney stated that the company sent her a customised can with her face on it to honor a year since her transition.

On April 21, 2023, a sign denigrating Bud Light Billboards Lol Crybabies is visible along a rural road near Arco, Idaho. A conservative YouTuber has now paid for billboards with the words “Butt Light.”
Conservatives have called for a boycott, accusing the corporation of becoming too “woke” and abandoning its customers. Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw is among them, as is Kid Rock, who released a video of himself blasting cases of Bud Light Billboards Lol Crybabies with an assault gun.
It comes at a time when anti-transgender sentiment is on the rise in the United States, with Republican governors and statehouses around the country supporting laws to protect the rights of transgender persons.
The left also chastised Anheuser-Busch for their handling of the outcry. The company’s standard equality and inclusion rating was recently suspended by the country’s leading LGBTQ+ advocacy group.
The YouTuber behind the “Conservative Vibes” account released a video over the weekend showcasing a digital billboard he purchased to insult Bud Light Billboards Lol Crybabies.
“You might have seen this fake Bud Light billboard that says ‘lol crybabies,’ made by liberals by the way,” the YouTuber stated in a video, referring to an altered image of a billboard claiming to represent Bud Light Billboards Lol Crybabies reaction to criticism. Now it’s time to respond with a genuine conservative billboard.”
The video shows him going through numerous rejected billboard alternatives until landing on a version with simply text, including the lines “Butt Light” and “This butt’s for you!”
The digital billboard appears for a few seconds in an unknown area in the video. The YouTuber claims he can operate a digital billboard for a few hundred dollars in locations across the United States and has promised to run one for every 10,000 likes his video receives. He further stated that if his post achieved 100,000 likes, he would pay for one in New York City’s Times Square. Since it was released on Sunday, the video has received over 24,000 likes.
Anheuser-Busch was approached by Newsweek through email. The YouTuber could not be reached for comment right away.
The Bud Light Billboards Lol Crybabies dispute has carried on for weeks, with the beer brand’s sales apparently suffering as a result.
According to reports, Anheuser-Busch has alerted distributors that it will purchase back unsold cases of beer that have beyond their expiration date.
Anheuser-Busch has attempted to minimize its collaboration with Mulvaney. “Anheuser-Busch works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various Bud Light Billboards Lol Crybabies,” the business stated in a statement emailed to Newsweek and other sites last month.
“On occasion, we create one-of-a-kind commemorative cans for fans and brand influencers like Dylan Mulvaney.” “This commemorative can was given as a gift to commemorate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general public,” according to the statement.
Mulvaney finally spoke up about the reaction in an Instagram post on April 28. “What I’m struggling to understand is the need to dehumanize and be cruel,” she explained.
