At least it's a positive ad compared to the last one which just defecated on men, throwing them all into a stereotype.

The trend of #happy face capitalism by multinational corporations is worrying. Nike, a corporation that engages in child labour being cheered on was atrocious. Gilette doesn't seem as bad, but the trend is worrying.


The left loves their two-faced hypocritical virtue signaling. Like tweeting about Foxconn's suicide rate on their new iphones.

At least it's a positive ad compared to the last one which just defecated on men, throwing them all into a stereotype.

Someone was triggered by an ad that called on men to be their best.

by accusing them of uniformly failing at it for all of history up until the present #Metoo moment, when a chosen few were enlightened by the television talking heads.

Except it objectively did not do that.

I guess you must have seen a different version.

No, we didn't. You are just objectively and factually incorrect.

This is not a mere difference of opinion here. Just literally two plus two equals five wrong.

The first 35 seconds are images of boys and men being bullies and pigs.
An endless row of men barbecuing, mindlessly repeating "Boys will be boys."
Narrator: "But something finally changed"
Cut to Anita Sarkeesian talking about sexual harassment.

What the hell else are people supposed to take away from that, huh?
That SOME men, not the majority by any means, can have bad practices, and that the majority of men can shrug off the behavior of those men. The average target audience member has NO idea who Sarkeesian is, so it's more about what the actual quote she said was rather than the fact that it's her.

Probably a good thing no one does know who she is, despite gamergate and somehow snaking her way onto Twitter's "Trust and Safety" board.
