you're making a gross assumption about their customers. Yes, they are likely all right-wing and not folks who would drink soy lattes at Starbucks, but not everyone on the right has the same opinion about Kyle Rittenhouse or thinks just because you have a right to arms means you go out looking for trouble in a riot. I fully support what Kyle did, I actually want to see every AntifaBLM supporter rounded up and at the very least sent to a prison colony on an isolated island, but there are a lot of people who support our political side, who think he shouldn't have been there or should have ran and not get into a situation where he had to shoot at Antifags. We aren't all one people, one belief system, "fuck everyone who has a slightly different opinion on issues"
this. had Blaze asked BRCC first, might have been different. But Blaze, like a lot of people just assumed BRCC would have been ok with it and put their brand out there anyway. Can't do that. Blaze should have cleared it first. I'm sure personally the guys at BRCC have at least a favorable opinion of Kyle they just can't necessarily say the whole company does and speak for everyone on a whim like that.
We joke around here and place company logos in memes about the riots but technically that could get us in hot water if those brands decided to sue. At the very least posting a meme about the riots sponsored by Home Depot or Target or Goodyear (because of their preference for workers wearing BLM attire at work but not pro-police) could get a cease and desist letter making us take it down, but they could sue the mods here for use of their logo without permission. People just need to calm their tits and stop flying off the handle when someone has a slightly different opinion here. Not everyone backs 100% of the opinions of the seeming majority and it's ridiculous to start attacking and "taking coats" of people who don't march in lockstep
Why would you want to sell clothing that might be worn by mass murders, despots, BLM rioters, housewives, students, kids defending their life, or anyone else who might not agree with someone else's cancel-culture politics? You put your clothing out there and people wear it. That should never be seen as the fault of the clothing manufacturer. Black Rifle Coffee caved to the cancel-culture.
it shouldn't but it is. That's life. If the unabomber wore a hoodie with some company's logo emblazoned on it, whether or not that company actually did anything to support him, or he just happened to like that brand, it reflects badly in public opinion and people will stop buying that brands products because there is a connection made. Even if it was unintended. Just the company releasing a statement of disavowal is not enough oftentimes. People see someone they don't approve of wearing clothing of a certain brand and it just sends a bad message whether the logo owner intended so or had no idea, then it damages your brand and you have to do damage control so you don't start losing customers.
Would be the same if a mass shooter showed up wearing a MyPillow shirt and screaming at everyone to get a god night's sleep while sweeping the place with gunfire. Does MyPillow support the shooter in any way? of course not, BUT the shooter could have done it on purpose to damage a brand he hated and give bad publicity to them like when the MSM would perhaps publish photos of the guy in a perp walk and there's the MyPillow logo, now the brand becomes the "pillow of choice for mass murderers" and some people just turn off because even if they know the shooter and MyPillow had no connection, it didn't matter, the association has been made and they just don't want to support a company that a criminal seemingly had. Gotta understand that when you run a business like that, the brand comes first or there is no business, you can't be taking sides. Mike Lindell is just lucky enough people support his brand he can afford to take a little more of a PR hit than he does otherwise every day from the left.
So, apparently we are now NPCs and taking orders on what to think by a strong-willed few here. And apparently having your logo appear in a photo of someone just released on bail compels you to support and donate that person or else you "caved to the left"
Sorry, haters, I'm not dropping my support of BRCC because their logo wasn't blurred out of the photo Blaze used improperly and we're now supposed to throw brand protection out the window because it happens to affect our commie-blasting hero.
It's quite simple. Had Blaze asked BRCC first, it might not have been a big deal, Blaze has an obligation as a media publisher to blur out any logos or even photos that might be hanging on the wall of real people behind Kyle, TV shows do it all the time to protect people who might not want to have their likeness appear or brands who's permission they haven't gotten to appear. Brands usually also pay media for product-placement to have their logo shown on something. Blaze did it anyway and because BRCC's logo appeared on his shirt, not immediately BRCC is "obligated" to donate money to Kyle Rittenhouse or face our version of an NPC mob for not doing so.
Despite what a lot of you think, not everyone on the right or not every pro-2A person necessarily thinks as highly about Kyle. Sure we all support him defending himself and exercising the right to bare arms, but some folks might not like that he was even there and put himself in that situation. People here often forget our side isn't like the NPC left where an opinion comes down from DNC central command through the media and they all march in lockstep with their orders to hate something or boycott something or whatever. WE are not, WE all have a spectrum of opinions personally, our own personal beliefs but enough of them co-align to support a common cause - support of our Constitution, our freedoms and our President. We have to lay off a bit with this hero worship of sorts and blasting anyone who just doesn't show the "proper" level of support for our hero of the month. Like Bannon, didn't we just about hate him not too long ago since he was kicked off Trump's WH team? Now he says a few good things about the election, mentions TD on his show and says some speech about "signal and noise" and now half of TD jacks off to his warroom pandemic stream daily.
I get people's more extreme feelings on things right now, this is a pretty stressful time and we're all pissed off at the lengths the left is going to steal the election and radically transform this country, but we also have to realize some supporters here aren't as gung-ho with politics, don't all share the stronger opinions of the "majority" and in many cases are drawn here for the real news and support of Trump. Many of us never were into politics and don't want all of this consuming our lives but we want to support the man that fights for us. Gotta start understanding here that mocking and labeling half this site for not unifying behind the outrage du jour is not helpful. Not everyone here is going to think of things the same way as the apparent majority and attacking them for having a slightly different mindset isn't helping our intended goal here. We need everyone we can get. We really can't afford to start "taking people's coats" because they disagree on one minor issue or another. We aren't the monolithic "believe everything we believe or else" Left.
A business named Black Rifle, that marketed itself as conservative and pro 2A, with AR as it’s logo, is now non political?
Oh. Lol.
What’s next? The Catholic Church remaining neutral regarding religion?

Well that I agree with but why pull blaze sponsorship?

Plus they do sponsor conservative content so it’s not like they’re that neutral

Yikes.
