Oh brother. Ford has pulled a Bud Light. Who do they think that the target audience for trucks are?
Ford's 'redefining tough' rainbow raptor commercial goes viral, sparks online backlash
Automobile manufacturer Ford has become the latest target for conservatives after an old ad featuring a rainbow-colored raptor resurfaced on the internet. On May 17, Twitter user Phillip Oliver-Holz, a self-proclaimed “alpha male”, shared a video clip of the ad which was released last year in Pride month, June.
Phillip reposted a video originally uploaded on TikTok by user Brian Michael on May 16. Brian wrote in the text overlay of the video that the company destroyed 120 years of American history in one minute. He also added the now-popular phrase “go woke go broke”, which is frequently used by conservatives.
Ford’s “Very Gay” Raptor adopted a glittery gold body adorned with a wave of rainbow running from the front side of the car to the back. The Pride-themed Raptor was in response to a homophobic comment about a Ranger Raptor video that was shared in 2021.
This Next-Gen rainbow Ranger Raptor was brought to the scene to redefine the meaning of “tough”, and in an attempt to proudly announce their advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community.

To be fair, this came out a couple years ago. Still, these execs apparently have no idea who their market is or why.
