Gillette's new commercial is drawing a huge backlash and boycotte..

[Smallcock]

Asking again: What's wrong with urging people to do better?

Your attempt to pretend the ad is some benign promotion of self-help, evaluation, and betterment of society makes you come off as a phony. You'd make serious $$$ if you worked at CNN.

-The ad focuses on men ONLY; if you want to urge 'people' to do better, don't sideline a single gender
-The overwhelming majority of men are not assholes even though they're portrayed as such in this ad and everywhere else; the glass ceiling, the gender wage gap, affirmative action for equal gender representation in the workforce - these are needed because of 'toxic masculinity' and 'patriarchy'. Yeah, lack of women in STEM and tech just has to be the result of gender oppression *roll eyes*. Every woman I've ever met just loves those fields.
-the racial biases subtext - the black dudes putting the toxic white dudes in check for being over-bearing toward females (laughable and has zero basis in reality) shows that they're going all-in on virtual signalling fantasy
-they are selling RAZORS - yet they want to virtual signal because they think that doubling down on damaging narratives will increase their bottom line which is disgusting
-#metoo has too many skeletons and hypocrisy in its closet from its founders on up, so getting behind it is offensive to a large swathe of good people

Try as you may, oldjones, you can't dodge any of this.

Playing the gender card like this ad does appeals to a very small but very loud segment of society who are bent on trying to normalize it.

Absolutely nothing! None of us are perfect and I always look for opportunities to be the best person I can.

I'm laughing that there are actually people on this thread upset that the "gender card" was played in an ad for a MEN'S Razor.
Guys - if you're REALLY upset at the ad, don't worry - you could still use the razor to shave your vaginas.

Um, yeah.
Its an ad for razors for men.
Duh.

The majority of their market almost the entirety of their history since King Gillette invented their product has been about serving men. Why wouldn't they address their message to the largest part of their base?

You could be a 100% right about how men are portrayed "… everywhere else", but that wouldn't make you any less wrong about the ad and how it uses the handful of individuals and incidents it portrays. Please try to stick to the topic and avoid hyperbolic nonsense like your stereotype about there being "zero basis in reality" for showing "black dudes putting the toxic white dudes in check for being over-bearing toward females". Considering you're complaining about Gillette's "racial biases" subtext, your blatant racism utterly sabotages your own weak point.

You have made no points to dodge and offered no arguments to counter.

As for your empty assumptions, and the irrelevant slags
at everyone but Gillette

or its ad,

they're just
slinging mud,
and easy

to ignore.

It seems clear you identified as one who behaved like the Bad Guys not the Good.

Finally. You stopped mincing words.
You've been dancing around making that accusation for the last page and a half.
So you finally used the same tactic all Leftists use. If someone doesn't agree with your point of view it's because they are the problem.

Like calling someone Racist who doesn't agree with your interpretation of what constitutes racism.

Thank You.
I now know not to engage with you anymore, as you're nothing but a Leftist Troll.

 

[ogibowt]

I don't see how this has anything to do with razors. Total rubbish.

do you think Geico and Progressive ads have anything to do with insurance?

 

[Smallcock]

Um, yeah.
Its an ad for razors for men.
Duh.

But it wasn't. It wasn't about razors at all. It was a metoo ad.

 

[Smallcock]

You need to grow some balls and let them hang. Maybe you don't consider yourself a 'guy' at all but some new gender with a new name?

Be careful... your vagina joke might come back to bite you by the very people and narrative that you're defending. It could be conceivably deemed an example of toxic masculinity.

 

[Frankfooter]

But it wasn't. It wasn't about razors at all. It was a metoo ad.

How many women were using those razors in the ad?
What is it about asking men to call out assholes for asshole behaviour is really bothering you so much?
You don't act like an asshole, do you?

My balls tell me that this is just an ad. And in keeping with your signature request to call you names: I'm glad you got the irony of my post, you micro-dicked pussy.

You see, its all about what someone thinks an "asshole" is.

My definition might be a little different than yours. Instead of calling them an "asshole", I would maybe call them a jerk?


Why should I poke my nose in someone elses business and call them out?

Tell you what. Answer my this one question and i'll believe in your statement:

would you step in and stop a fight between a person and group of Hells Angels? Because, that would be the good thing to do, right? From what I gathered from the ad, it was a lot of bullying stuff and de-man-ing stuff.

Finally? Geez, and here I thought my first post in the thread made my opinion of the BackLashers pretty clear:

Clearly there are still lots of men content with being mediocre. But defensive about it.

Kinda inspiring that Gillette believes there are fewer of those faces looking at themselves in their mirrors each day, as they reach for their razors.

Anyway I'm sure any one who says, "If someone doesn't agree with your point of view it's because they are the problem." can only think Leftist Trolls are fun to engage with

Surely you won't be doing what you just condemned so bitterly.

 

[frankcastle]

Anybody who loses their shit over a YouTube ad for a razor company should seriously re-examine their priorities.

I totally agree... in the car people were calling in and saying it paints men in a bad light blah blah blah how men are the last target blah blah blah....

As far as I can see it's a commercial in which average joes are speaking up when they see wrong things happening. The message is that it doesn't take much to make the world a better place. What's wrong with a friend calling a friend on his bullshit? Or a father telling his son it's not okay to fight/bully? Or the dismissive nature of the comment of "boys will be boys"

What does this have to do with razors? We all shave and we can all strive to be better.

 

[Frankfooter]

Do you have or do you think you will ever have, a daughter, wife or girlfriend you think should be free from harassment?

 

[Smallcock]

I don't remember anyone using a razor in the ad. That's how shitty the ad is.

What is it about asking men to call out assholes for asshole behaviour is really bothering you so much?

On a scale of importance this means nothing to me. I'm engaging in a thread where I express my POV. You want more of it so I post it.

The ad is stupid for a variety of reasons already mentioned by others. Additionally, men don't need Gillette to tell them to call out asshole behavior. Men do that already. In the hyper-sensitive society that we live in, where offense is easily taken, and 'calling out' "bad" behavior is used to score social points, the entire ad is redundant. Sell your razors but spare us the lame lecture that will earn brownie points with your radical colleagues and every radical feminist lunatic out there that thinks that there is such a thing as "toxic masculinity".

You don't act like an asshole, do you?

Of course not. You know that better than anyone else.

 

[frankcastle]

Um, yeah.
Its an ad for razors for men.
Duh.

Agreed. Some people are just looking for reasons to be upset. Jokes on them as all this does is give Gillette more exposure.

I say grow a beard in protest so we know who the assholes are.

 

[Smallcock]

My balls tell me that this is just an ad. And in keeping with your signature request to call you names: I'm glad you got the irony of my post, you micro-dicked pussy.

You need to take a sensitivity training course. There is no need for this kind of gendered language.

Make me the target of your ridicule all you want, but leave the women alone!

 

[Fathammer]

Do you have or do you think you will ever have, a daughter, wife or girlfriend you think should be free from harassment?

All the above. Yes, anyone would love a life free of harassment regardless of being a man or woman.

There are bullies everywhere. If you dont want to be bothered by them, dont bring attention to them. If that dont help, FIGHT BACK! Thats how social dominance works ANYWHERE you go.

A harassment free world is only good on paper. In reality, it woukld never work. Try telling an inmate to stop bothering you.....see what happens next and find out who helps you out.

 

[Smallcock]

Based on the downvotes, Youtube must be filled with majority trolls and haters. I mean, it's a perfectly sound ad.

Or those with an SJW mentality are indeed in the minority.

Time will tell. The culture war continues.
