Conservatives are now boycotting Kellogg's over a picture at the Tony's

The list of food brands that conservatives are refusing to purchase because they’re too LGBTQ+ got quite a bit longer this week after transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney had her picture taken with Tony the Tiger. Now many on the right are calling for a boycott of Kellogg’s, the cereal brand.

The offending picture took place at the Tony Awards this past Sunday. Mulvaney, in a Christian Siriano gown, almost walked into a person in a Tony the Tiger costume. Tony the Tiger is the mascot for the Kellogg’s breakfast cereal Frosted Flakes.

I fear for Mulvaney's safety as her fame grows.

When the conservatives begin dying of self-selected starvation rather than going "woke", I will be impressed.

Until then, they are just jerks.

Prices come down. Since Dems will be the only ones buying most things, I’d like to express my appreciation.

is to be boycotted? The whole company, not just the product? Tony allowed himself to be photographed with Awful Trans Person Dylan Mulvaney, which must mean Tony himself, who is not an actual tiger and therefore could not have eaten Mulvaney, must be trans or gay or woke, so Frosted Flakes are forbidden, and everything else made by Woke Kellogg's, like Cheez-its and Pop Tarts and Pringles.

So did the MAGAts go home and throw away their Kellogg's cereals or burn them symbolically in their yards? I love it when dumb MAGAt boycotters destroy products they've already paid for.

By definition, a majority already aren't that strong at denying their kids their favorite sugary cereals.

Maybe some cleverer sorts will hit on symbolically boycotting the Kellogg's All Bran they don't buy anyway.

I will never understand why activists of any stripe can be so unaware of how counterproductive their own behavior can be to their cause.
