Sometimes, all you can do is shake your head, and if you keep reading this article, you'll be doing a lot of that because Dylan Mulvaney is the topic.

The "transgender influencer" who destroyed Bud Light is back, and this time he's speaking on college campuses. Let's just say that endeavor isn't going any better than Mulvaney's excursion into the beer industry. 

According to The Daily Mail, Mulvaney was set to charge $40,000 a pop to show up and give speeches on college campuses. Whether Penn State (or whoever on campus brought him in) paid that much isn't known, but what is certain is that whatever he paid was too much. Take a look at how many people showed up, or rather, didn't show up.

The room Mulvaney was given holds somewhere around 1,000 people. To say the crowd missed the mark would be an understatement. There might be a hundred people there, and that's probably being generous. Given this is the quality of what transpired, can you blame people for not showing up?

I told you that you'd be shaking your head a lot if you continued reading this article. I don't even know what to say about that. Affirming mental illness has consequences. So does indulging someone who may actually know exactly what he's doing.

Why do major brands give this guy money? What value is he providing? What customers are buying a product because they saw that Dylan Mulvaney endorses it? It's astonishing to me that any marketing department would be dumb to pay him to do brand placement for them. The only thing I can figure is that it's an easy way to get a company's ESG score up. 

Clearly, aside from being a target for mockery, there isn't much actual interest in Mulvaney. Student-aged individuals are supposed to be his core audience, and no one is showing up to see him. Imagine being the person who wrote the check for that speech only to see him prance around in a cheerleader outfit for a few dozen people. How many homeless people could have been fed? How many Christmas presents could have been bought for foster children? 

Hopefully, this is the beginning of the end for Mulvaney's notoriety, and it can't come to an end soon enough.
