Kendall Jenner's tequila launch faces backlash

[imnotyourbabe10 6,101]

Don’t like her, love tequila. Many better tequila options out there. 

Also, with cancel culture, it should really be “consequences culture” (unless they murdered someone or assaulted someone or harmed a sentient creature in any way).

It's Tequilla. Who cares? If it's bad people won't buy it. It not like make up. 

I can hardly stomach most tequillas.

People really can’t breathe nowadays without someone saying it’s offensive  can we just delete twitter entirely

I think chasing this liquor with a Pepsi would be fitting 

 

I can see why people think it’s culturally inappropriate but would ppl be the same if it were Whiskey or Vodka? What if it were Sake or Soju? 
 

I typically have my go to’s for call and top shelf and $60 is moderately high for her tequila. It could taste good but a big part of me sees this as a celebrity product. I’m sure she had a bigger role in this that when she and Kylie “wrote” a novel.

I rarely complain about Gaga, or other people complaining, and idc about other artists. I'm just here to have fun. So yeah I can

I feel like this piece of news was framed in the wrong way. Instead of saying Kendall received backlash for 'appropriating Mexican culture', one could argue the core of the problem isn't Kendall appropriating a culture, it is Kendall taking away the market of smaller producers who can't physically compete with the popularity of one of the world's most famous people, and one that had no business founding a tequila brand except for that of boredom or wanting more money than the billions she already has. This is an injustice, an injustice that has its origins in the unequal distribution of wealth, that makes smaller producers working all day to create a tequila and cement it in the market being suddenly destroyed and possibly left out of it because of the wimps of a popular kid on the other side of the border. That's a better way of framing the story, and it's a way that reflects the true sentiments of this outrage. But of course, the media will want you to think that these Twitter users and SJWs are insane. It's much easier to think that than to face the realities of wealth inequality.

edit: Bottom line is that there's no passion to this product, nor rhyme or reason. It's pointless and in its attempt at making a rich family richer, it takes the jobs, efforts, and spotlight away from people who really deserve it.
