It doesn’t “drive” me away from the product, but I do usually think product must be for a particular targeted market of the audience and not something really of interest to me.

Why would the OP even bother posting this. The question is beyond mere rhetorical. If you want everyone to know you’re a Trump voter just say it

I don’t like getting spoon fed progressive propaganda during commercial breaks anymore then I like seeing it in shows or movies.

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


Solid troll. People who critique commercials are funny enough; those who complain that advertisers aren’t including them in their target market are hilarious. “Boo, hoo, I’m not being coerced into buying that product!”

Frick commercials. You don’t have to watch them.

I’ll never buy anything that tries to push their products with transsexuals, gays, or overtly feminist bullshite.

I don't watch television, so I don't see these commercials.

BUT, if I'm in the store and the roll of paper towels has two gay black dads printed on the wrapper... I can 100% GUARANTEE I'm buying some other product.

If they are forcing diversity on me and my family instead of advertising their products, I'm annoyed.
I don't buy anything because of advertising.

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.


I wouldn’t call non-racist people “a real minority of the population.” Maybe it is where you are live

Because you can tell it’s forced agenda and not a social norm. Minorities and the lgbt community are greatly over represented in commercials and tv shows.
After decades of under-representation of minorities and lgbt and over-representation of white and straight, wtfrick are you bitching about? Do we need to police our media to be in line with demographics?

Lots of weak, insecure cry-babies in here.

What I find most offensive

Everyone here is so easily offended, and I can guarantee you think "the other side" are the easily offended ones.
quote:

It is as if these companies think that we poor dumb sheep need to be educated about the right way to think about social policy. If you want to sell me a product, fine, but don't try to manipulate me and others into supporting one politicized view of the world over another.
Hilarious that you guys think companies prioritize social engineering over making money.
quote:

These commercials--and the one-sided virtue signalling that they represent--are purposefully insulting to a large segment of the population.
Hey, did you ever stop to think that maybe YOU are the minority? It's scary, I know, but you are in the minority. Believe it or not, but most people in this country are actually not racist and bigoted conspiracy theorists.

People are racist if they aren't in an interracial relationship?

We refuse to let the liberal left shove their “everyone’s behavior is acceptable” message down our throats
Are these companies doing anything illegal? Do their commercials portray people doing illegal things? Are the products they are promoting illegal? Is anyone at all harmed by the production or airing of these commercials, other than you and your feelings? Whose behavior is "unacceptable" to you? Personally, as someone who values freedom, I find your views "unacceptable".
quote:

pretend that most “couples” are skinny gays or black dudes with white woman.

It’s false and not the majority.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say you're a Trump voter, and you're here promoting some sort of "majority rule" society? Do you want to recount those votes?
quote:

Forget those agenda driven commercials. Sell a product.
They ARE, and lots of them.
quote:

Don’t provide tacit approval of those lifestyles to our kids.
1. YOU are in charge of what your kids are exposed to.
2. YOUR parenting skills help determine the lifestyle choices that your kids end up making
3. I hope all of your kids end up in interracial and/or gay relationships, just to piss you off.

Oh my god, I had no idea these companies were forcing things on you against your will! You should call the authorities immediately!
