What facts are you talking about?

The overwhelming majority of commercials and media are hetero.

You are looking so hard to be offended, you choose to believe a commercial portraying a hetero couple breaking up as a gay commercial

But please, enlighten me on your facts.

Every time I see a commercial with a same sex couple, I just picture all the OTers yelling at their TV sets in rage and then beating their sister-wives to relieve the tension from being angry about people who are different than them

The facts that say her best friend isn’t actually her lover.

And I guess as long as the majority of commercials aren’t this way it’s ok. But when it is the majority is it ok to say something then?

Well the facts say that she was obviously in a hetero relationship.

What evidence do you have that she decided to become a lesbian all of a sudden?

And again, why do you keep asking me if it’s ok for you to do something? Do what you want.

Just don’t expect everyone to agree with you.

If it’s making you this angry, then you don’t have many real problems to deal with.

Nice virtue signal you got there


Eta: I remember it was just a couple of short years ago the OT was littered with articles complaining about the lack of representation of minority groups in commercials. The overwhelming position here was that it was completely ridiculous to give any consideration whatsoever of who was in any commercial.

Now we get about a thread a week whining about the minority of commercials that have mixed race couples and gay couples. Guess I shouldn't really expect any different.

I don't care what people do in their private lives, but I'll be damned if I can't help but find gayness really weird.

She did not.

My wife went to the movies with another woman the other night. Should I be worried?

Movies? No

When she moves out, takes all your shite, and gets in the car to move in with her “friend”? I’d say they’re scissoring.

It’s called representation, and until fairly recently minority groups have not been represented much in TV and film. Sure, advertisers could show you another generic white couple who can’t figure out their laundry issues, but now they can show mixed-race and same-sex couples because we found out “muh heritage” will be just fine regardless.

I don’t know man, I don’t think I can risk it.

No more female friends for my wife.

I’m putting my foot down. Only male friends from now on.
