Check out this video from Gillette - https://youtu.be/koPmuEyP3a0 White men are rapist, over sexualized bullies, and must be stopped according to Gillette. Why would Gillette do this?

That commercial is cringe.
I imagine this is here strictly for masturbatory purposes.
"In a field where an overlooked bug could cost millions, you want people who will speak their minds, even if they’re sometimes obnoxious about it."
People are just tired of being lectured at and the doubt standards are kinda annoying. I can just imagine if they did a follow-up commercial showing fatherless black kids and demand 'to do better' for member's of the black community. The howling would echo across twitter for ages.
um, I understand that you're way out of your depth here, but "fatherless black kids" is a very well understood and openly discussed issue among the community you're so poorly trying to disparage.
if you feel you're being lectured act, maybe you should ask yourself: "Why?"
"In a field where an overlooked bug could cost millions, you want people who will speak their minds, even if they’re sometimes obnoxious about it."
"In a field where an overlooked bug could cost millions, you want people who will speak their minds, even if they’re sometimes obnoxious about it."
Yeah calling a commercial annoying is absolutely REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEE levels of snowflakery.
Here is an example of a snowflake:

At this point I can only assume you are low key trolling. You know damn well what the reaction would be if the shoe was on the other foot. If the commercial talked about Islam, or blacks, or Hispanics people would be screeching for ages. I personally find the commercial pathetic and pandering in attempt to earn "woke" points. It is annoying and deserves an eye roll and a dismissal. The fun part in discussing it is revealing the hypocrisy of liberals.

Coming back to this the next day and I simply don't believe the behavior from lewk this simple ad provoked. We get an ad asking men to not be assholes and he invoked his racism, xenophobia, sexism, and islamophobia. While being unable to discuss why the ad triggered him so sorely.
"In a field where an overlooked bug could cost millions, you want people who will speak their minds, even if they’re sometimes obnoxious about it."
I like the message of don’t be a douchebag.
I just think it’s virtue signaling from a corporation trying to cash in on the current wave of men suck.
You know, one of those evil coprorations that don’t pay thier fair share?
Brevior saltare cum deformibus viris est vita
Why, though? The "are u triggered SNOWFLAKE?????(thats right i said SNOWFLAKE)" crowd has always been like this: as in, they can dish it out but they can't take it.
I knew Lewk would not be able to restrain himself from responding to this thread, even though it was started by a bot, the moment I saw it.

Gillette also make products for women.
It would have been perfectly feasible to make such an advert that advocates responsible, accountable and respectful behaviour for everyone.
The fact that they didn't makes me a bit uncomfortable with it.

Looking at it from the wrong angle. Veldan didn't describe the ad as "men suck" just that its latching on to the "men suck" wave.
The question that raises is why veldan sees the current movement for accountability, equality, metoo, etc and interprets it as "men suck" instead of "people who act like dicks suck"

I have to admit this thread, even though it exposes our shameful weakness to manipulation by political bots, is also very interesting from a sociological perspective. The cynical commercial exploitation of political/social issues can often seem distasteful, but this one, I think, is an example of how to do it right.
