i love this whole angry christians vs. starbucks story that’s happening over the red cups because their entire protest is a trainwreck and a half like. so starbucks doesnt put any christmasy designs on their cups this year, they’re just red, and a couple christians decide that they’re “taking christ out of christmas” but the beautiful thing is they don’t boycott? im used to angry religious folks boycotting things like doritos and public bathrooms and target over the slightest association with Those Darn Liberals but this is an all new level
basically the non-boycotting group is actually encouraging people to go to their local starbucks, order a drink and then tell them their name is “merry christmas”, forcing Those Darn Liberals to associate christmas with their ambiguously festive cups. and its incredible cause ive seen so many facebook posts today from my relatives saying “i never get starbucks but im gonna get a drink every day this month and do this”
starbucks: gets more customers, more product exposure, more social media coverage
