I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
I suppose I could have added this tweet as well, though it's a tiny derail from my point that this is a bad strategy. I was on Kungsgatan 14:45 during the terrorist attack in Stockholm, an event that seems to have obliterated my storage of fucks to give.
A week ago I narrowly escaped a terrorist attack. Now I'm being subtweeted for acknowledging #realmoms ad is awful. Completely out of fucks. pic.twitter.com/mBxGBcPfHR

Did anyone else notice that the biological mother and partner to the transgender grad student didn't have a name? She didn't even get to speak. All of the other mothers are introduced with names and titles like "stay at home mom" or "dance instructor", but that mother is just a nameless womb in the background.
She is the one who risked her life carrying that handsome baby to term, as women still die in childbirth worldwide, but she's not important enough to be allowed to speak in this ad. It's really an awful thing Dove does here, and I believe many women will turn away from the brand.
You probably have the wrong article. Comments don't vanish.
You could backtrack via my user page which shows my comments, but I comment a lot so that would take forever. If you had been a registered user, your comment would have been found on your user page.
This had so many layers of cringe, I needed massage therapy just to be able to type this.
The music, it's awful. The musicians who take their expensive instruments to a protest (insurance ain't gonna cover that, bruh), the fact that Kendall only joins the protest because a cute guy makes eye contact with her - why aren't today's feminists complaining about her agency being set by a man? - the fact that she managed to change into (very fashionable expensive) jeans in less than 10 seconds to join the protest. The hijab-wearing nose-pierced photographer. Pick one Indian religious culture at a time, please, you ignorant idiots. It's as if they simply ran the mood board. Who has ever seen a protest group this clean and attractive before? They're straight from central casting.
I hate this ad with the heat of a thousand suns. It's the commercial equivalent of "How do you do, fellow kids"
But to everyones point, I hate commercials joining any "social justice" causes to begin with. Brands went from selling, to storytelling, to injecting themselves into the stories and very few brands should be doing it. Cause marketing is for brands who actually work on a cause, everything else is "causewashing", and it stinks.
