Nah it's all about oWnInG tHe LiBs

Pretty much. There are literally tens of thousands of beers out there that haven't tried to cash in on the LGBTQ market by explicitly promoting them (plus they're actually beer). If it were just about avoiding "woke" products, there are countless alternatives they could buy. Instead, these people want to make sure people know just how upset they are that a company they used to like doesn't hate gay people as much as they do, and for that, they need a product specifically identifying itself as being a contrary response to the thing they don't like, which grifters like this guy are happy to sell them at a ridiculous premium.

Bonus points on the grift side of things where it's probably the same parent company selling both products. Tap into the LGBTQ market by slapping a pride flag on stuff, then respond to angry people boycotting you over that marketing by marketing a similar product with anti-LGBTQ messaging under a different company name. Massive profits all around.

On Twitter they're saying they can't charge a reasonable price until they make more sales lmfao.

Yeah, that's how that works. Economy of scale is a thing, certainly, but not to that extent.

If I didn't have any scruples I could make so much money conning MAGAts out of money.

One of these days, I want to see somebody pull something like this, then after they've sold a bunch of whatever their product is, turn around and donate 100% of the profits to something like abortion accessibility or trans health. Granted, that's kind of exactly what a substantial portion of the companies pushing Pride marketing already do (employ LGBTQ-friendly marketing when it's profitable to do so, but continue to donate to politicians and organizations that are anything but), but that's generally more for personal profit and not just to troll a bunch of gullible homophobic nogginhosers.
