Doritos faces boycott for partnering with transgender influencer who once fanaticized about sexually assaulting children



Facing a boycott, Doritos has cut ties with a transgender influencer who was part of a brand campaign in Spain.

Over the weekend, Spanish trans influencer Samantha Hudson, whose real name is Iván González Ranedo, posted a 50-second Instagram promotion video in partnership with Doritos Spain called "Crunch Talks."

But the video was removed on Monday after Doritos began facing backlash when Ranedo's past social media posts were uncovered, including some that discussed fantasies about sexually assaulting children, Newsweek reported.

In one post, Ranedo wished to perform "depraved" sexual acts on a 12-year-old girl. In another, Ranedo wished to posture himself as a "a nymphomaniac in front of a super beautiful 8-year-old girl." In other posts, Ranedo described female rape victims as "fat whores." Ranedo has also advocated for the abolition of the "traditional, nuclear family."

Some of the posts were made when Ranedo was a teenager, according to Rolling Stone.

But that didn't stop controversy from hitting Doritos, and social media users began calling for the company to face the "Bud Light treatment."

With a boycott on the line, Doritos quickly engaged in damage control. Not only did the company remove the video featuring Ranedo, but Doritos also terminated its relationship with the influencer.

A spokesperson for Doritos Spain told Rolling Stone the company only became aware of Ranedo's social media posts on Monday.

"[Doritos Spain] recently created a content series with Samantha Hudson, a local influencer. After the campaign started, we were made aware of Samantha’s deleted Tweets from around 2015," the company said in a statement. "We have ended the relationship and stopped all related campaign activity due to the comments. We strongly condemn words or actions that promote violence or sexism of any kind."

Doritos Spain, however, reportedly emphasized its decision was based on Ranedo's "inflammatory comments," according to Rolling Stone, not Ranedo's gender identity.

Critics say Skittles will get the 'Bud Light treatment' over pro-transgender message on packaging



A partnership between Skittles and the Gay Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation is evidenced by a new message on candy packages expressing support for the LGBTQ agenda.

Photographs of the new marketing campaign began showing up on social media on Friday.

In one posted by the popular Libs of TikTok account, several figures are skateboarding on a ramp that includes the messages "Black Trans Lives Matter" and "Joy is Resistance."

Another package documented at the Daily Mail showed the message "Be Generous With Your Love."

Critics compared the marketing stunt to the catastrophic campaign that tanked Bud Light sales after Anheuser-Busch partnered with a transgender influencer in defiance of its traditional customer base.

"Mars is about to get the Bud Light treatment. Going woke lost Bud Light’s parent company Anheuser-Busch billions in market cap," said one critic. "Mars has made a huge mistake."

"WTF is this crap on a candy wrapper?" asked another detractor.

Some called for a boycott against the candy brand.

"This is worse than a beer company or even a retailer. This is candy, heavily marketed to children. People can do as they please but when they get into the indoctrination business, it's time for them to be canceled," read another tweet.

Bud Light lost the equivalent of $18 billion in stock valuation after its transgender debacle resulted in the loss of millions of dollars in U.S. sales.

This is the fourth year that Skittles has partnered with GLAAD in order to promote the LGBTQ agenda. In previous years it discolored the candies in order to emphasize the rainbow colors of the LGBTQ movement. It also pledged to donate one dollar to GLAAD from each package sold, up to $100,000.

Corporate support for the LGBTQ movement has taken a turn recently as many activists complain that they aren't getting as much money from companies, and experts see a marked decline in diversity, equity, and inclusion.
