DJ's Left Nut, as usual, sums it up pretty eloquently.

I think that says a TON about you. I don't know anything about you personally, yet I know everything I need to know now. Poor little dude.

It says he's better at critical analysis than you are, chiefly.

I don't think feeding your blind rationalizations has anything to do with "critical analysis." Hit me up when that makes any lick of sense, mkay?

I write advertising for a living. I actually have to consider things like not pissing off a huge chunk of my client's customer base.

The real question is if it was more positive than negative to millennials and younger audience. Could be, but who knows. I don't think Gillette cares about pissing off older audiences. Razor category values acquiring younger customers a lot more than keeping older ones.

Nobody values losing customers. They could have made this ad in a less idiotic way, with the same message they were attempting to deliver, and had positive feedback from everyone.

I don't think it's an effective ad execution. I totally agree it could be done better. I'm just pointing out that for the razor category, younger customers are a hell of a lot more valuable than older customers. Probably now more than ever. I'm sure they don't want to lose customers, but if they gained enough high value customers, then the ad achieves what it wanted to do.

Again, I don't know if that actually happened. But I disagree that they're too concerned about alienating older audiences.

It's not "just" the tv commercials..It's the overlying problem of EVERYTHING in today's modern culture is all about being anti-white heterosexual male, and they're indoctrinating the next generations to believe this garbage.

TV shows, music, movies, sports etc...you can't turn on your TV or browse the interwebz without coming across this nonsense. Everyone is offended now by anything and everything, and it's all being programmed into us via media and most people don't even know it nor do they care. smh

So the answer is to be more offended?

JFC. As if this thread could get worse -- now we're talking about the joke that is intersectionality? I didn't realize Gillette was filled with cultural Marxists.

I am impressed at your ability to completely and totally miss the true point of almost every conversation involving SJW topics.

The add is insulting on many many levels as it very simply driving a false male stereotype.

For example the guy suddenly deciding to break up the 2 boys fighting at the BBQ because he had some sort of epiphany, as if breaking up the fight isn't the norm and letting them just wail away on each other isn't the extreme outlier.

Every visual example used in the stupid video is the outlier and not the norm.
