Maybelline is TORCHED after partnering with Dylan Mulvaney
Dylan Mulvaney can’t seem to stay out of the news.
The transgender influencer has been sponsored by every company from Tampax to Bud Light and is now promoting yet another brand: Maybelline.
Mulvaney posted a video of himself lathering his face in Maybelline makeup, where he covers up his “five-o-clock freakin’ shadow” — as Sara Gonzales of "The News & Why It Matters" puts it.
“Is that really like where the makeup companies are going? Is like, ‘Our foundation is so good we can cover up your beard stubble' — because I just don’t feel like that’s a smart advertising strategy when your primary base are freaking women,” Gonzales comments.
Many people believe that Mulvaney is not just entering women’s spaces, but mocking them while doing it.
Gonzales says women have been told to “smash the patriarchy” and “get rid of all of these men who are defeating women,” yet this is clearly “a man coming into a woman’s space.”
She adds that it’s not just women who should feel targeted but that it’s “obvious that they are targeting children — the movement, not every single gay person out there — but the movement itself is targeting children.”
According to a new Gallup study, there has been an increase in people identifying as LGBT. Currently 7.2% of adults in the United States identify as something other than straight or heterosexual.
This number has doubled since Gallup first measured LGBT identification in 2012.
While that number is shocking, the percentage of Gen Zers who identify as LGBT is even more so.
Nearly 20% of those born between 1994 and 2004 claim to be LGBT.
Gonzales asks, “Does that not go hand in hand with society saying ‘Hey, let’s put this on kids. Let’s introduce this to kids. Let’s show kids this lifestyle?’”

Bud Light boycott just got bigger as Dylan Mulvaney ad backlash grows
Dylan Mulvaney is a trans TikTok influencer who was catapulted to fame for documenting his “days of girlhood,” and he’s currently at the center of yet another internet breaking controversy.
Mulvaney recently has been sponsored by Bud Light, telling the world via a video he made drinking Bud Lights while dressed up to resemble Audrey Hepburn.
Bud Light even sent him a can with his face on it. Unfortunately for Bud Light, the reaction this caused has been disastrous for business, as many former drinkers are now boycotting all Anheuser-Busch beverages.
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" had Spencer Klavan and John Bachman on his show to discuss.
Klavan believes “the people who should be most angry” about Mulvaney’s portrayal of “girlhood” are “gay people who are getting caricatured out of existence.”
He continues, “Now a guy that grows up like Dylan has to put on a wig and pretend to be a girl just to get noticed. It’s incredibly sad.”
Bachman agrees, saying, “This transgender movement is as some people say. It does appear to act like a social contagion. The average drama-club gay dude that we all knew in high school — it does now seem to be encouraged financially,” adding “for other reasons as well, to pursue this transgenderism.”
Bachman also believes that this is an indicator of an even larger problem in corporate America.
“You have organizations like the Human Rights Council, which is funded by the Open Society Foundations and George Soros. They are the ones setting the tone.”
He says all these corporations really care about is what the “gay mafia” will say about their advertising campaigns.
The three discuss the Daily Wire’s attempt to create products for conservatives that challenge the new “woke” branding of companies like Bud Light.
Klavan says, “It used to be that conservatism was, you know, a particular set of ideological commitments. It still is those, but those commitments now basically just amount to recognizing reality.”
