"This outrage culture" is almost entirely the on left these days. Pointing out their bullshite isn't outrage or being triggered, as much as the left tries to sell it. Your people invented the use of the word in this context. You literally invented "safe spaces" so drop the cheap trick equivalency bullshite.

As was said in the other thread, you people act like this is some one-off nothingburger. It's a systemic campaign, and it's become extremely tedious.

I guess maybe some "right on girl" women will buy more razors from them. Maybe some white knight Alan Alda types, and of course, the homos.

I don't think I'd go all in on this particular stock symbol though.

That ad was insulting. I’m a Schick Quattro guy but I’ll never buy Gillette shaving cream again.

Too much truth in this not to be quoted.

Progs think they are so cute with that shite. They only impress each other.

I hate the ad and think it’s ridiculous— but just like this ad is blaming men pretty much across the board you reply with blaming women across the board when some of us agree with you.

Present day feminism blames men for everything and that's a fact.


Completely agree - and I’ve bitched about current feminism since before the election and damn sure bitched after when women who didn’t vote for Hillary were turned into pariahs because somehow even with asserting our power we are supposed to think as a collective unit. frick that.

Saw the ad and simply couldn’t believe it. Will never understand why a corporation would willingly step into the political fray like that. I’m sure someone on Madison Avenue thinks it’s a brilliant idea because of all the views it will get on YouTube & Twitter, but it literally pisses of a good chunk of it’s customer base and won’t sell razors. Completely baffling to me.

Not just that, it was kind of an amateur ad as well.

I called the phone number that was posted much earlier in this thread. I was on hold for about 20 minutes before someone came on the line. I told them that I would do everything that I could to discontinue using or purchasing or in any way supporting Gilette products due to this marketing campaign. I wanted to make sure Gilette knows how this ad resonates with a lot of people that buy their products.

Culture is dictating politics right now. And it has been since the start of Obama's presidency. It has exploded since the back end of it until now. If you think otherwise, you must be living under a rock.
