Gillette's new ad asks men to not be bullies/rapists; right-wing backlash ensues

First, the ad:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koPmuEyP3a0


Next, the backlash from individuals who don't like being told not to bully, sexually assault or rape people:  https://www.npr.org/2019/01/17/685976624/backlash-erupts-after-gillette-launches-a-new-metoo-inspired-ad-campaign

but yes, some yahoos were triggered by it, they should be made fun of.

If the nearly 1 million 'dislikes' on that YouTube video are anything to go by, we may have our work cut out for us.

It’s a fairly dumb enough ad on its own given how overpriced the razors are versus a service like dollar shave club which is the exact same quality. The ad doesn’t explain why anybody should go for Gillette other than vague motivational social commentary.

Which is really why they are getting so many dislikes on Youtube. Like why should I buy your product because of social commentary, doesn't make sense.

How old is that photo?  Was it from the last week or so?  If not, you don’t really seem to understand what has happened here, concerning Gillette’s rethinking of its own branding strategy.

Or just keep pretending not to care about ‘silly’ topics that you still insist on posting in.  Whatever, you do you.

If any man hasn't done the negative things portrayed in the commercial, then they have nothing to be offended by. It seems to me like the ad struck a nerve with people who probably have poor behavior.

Ah, but by GOD they should have the RIGHT to do it, despite what the FEMINAZIS and SOY BOYS say otherwise!

I keep hearing how sick people are of Christian preaching.  I'm sick of this.

But, no, I don't appreciate lectures.
