Does "diversity" in a commercial drive you towards or away from a product

Why are there a shortage of lesbians in commercials first of all?

I just watched a commercial for something, can't remember what and there were two dudes cuddled up on the couch. I also see a bunch of interracial couples in commercials. I don't care too much but it does seem like they are pandering to a real minority of the population. And given I can't remember what they were advertising, it seems like they're focusing their efforts in the wrong areas.

Just curious if you think this "diversity" only makes you realize they're pandering for your business or if it just annoys you with the overly PC nature of the country at this point.

TLDR: I've had some beer, don't care to watch commercials with gays, and we need more hot lesbians on TV.

It doesn't drive me to a product. I would generally avoid it probably.

Commercials annoy me unless they make me laugh. That's about all I care about.

Depends on what it is. If it’s that one commercial I’ve been seeing on Hulu recently with a dude in drag, then away.

There are a lot more interracial couples than you think, or have been in interracial relationships.

If you watch only commercials you’d think there are only gay and interracial couples

Away. Makes me feel that the marketers behind the advertising think their audience is stupid.

hint, its not advertising to sell a product, its SJW propaganda and they will win by being most controversial that you talk about it and by coincidence remember whos commercial it was.

if they ever did a real world actual study of who bought their product based on those commercials you wouldnt see any off that shite any more.

fun little game to play is, try to guess what product is being sold based on the commercial, 70% of the time no one has a clue until the 2 second credit at the end of the commercial

I don't have cable so watch most shows on Hulu. I find they commercials are always louder than the main show, so I mute them or just play on my phone. I hardly even notice them.
