Gillete Ad Upsets Manosphere Crybabies

(1/24) > >>

Radiation:
So Gillete, the razor company released an ad yesterday that has a lot of the incels and MGTOW men all up in arms. The ad features a montage of men engaging in behaviors that perpetuate toxic masculinity. Things like an all-male group of bullies chasing another male, there is a line up of men at grills saying "boys will be boys," there is a scene of a boardroom where a man places his hand on a woman's shoulder and mansplains what she said to the other male boardroom members. There is a lot in it and in the end it showcases how men could help be better people by being aware and stopping those behaviors.

Here is the ad:

As usual whiny incels from the manosphere have reacted negatively about this as you can see in the link above. They are flooding every single video by the media or elsewhere acting as if they are being oh-so-oppressed by this commercial. This is their calling card with anything that promotes women or anything that is critical of men, usually it is white men that are doing this if going by any avatars that shows who is making these comments. Has anyone else notice this from incels on Youtube? I know there is a thread discussing them but I haven't seen much activity there.

What do you think of the commercial itself? I think it does have a good message but the people crying about it don't seem to get it, they say it's an attack on masculinity but I'm not seeing anything that says that "masculinity is bad, mmmk?"

I  know it's been a while that I have been here and I have upset some people, I am sorry about that. I have been reading a lot about these men and it made me realize that there are some things still worth fighting for and it makes me want to support feminism.

--- Quote ---In response to Gillette’s powerful advertisement about toxic masculinity, Schick has unveiled a misogynistic razor for those angry and bitter men who feel betrayed.

“This product is 400% more likely to slice your face open than a regular razor, but you can take it because you’re not a pussy,” explained the three minute Schick Alpha Male Razor commercial. “It’s a razor for a man who refuses to be told what to do by a woman, whether she’s running for president or a doctor trying to stitch up his bleeding face.”

Special “gay-preventing grips” along the shaft are specially designed to reduce the razor from being dropped in the shower. The hyper-masculine shaving product is four times larger than a typical blade “so no one will fuck with it,” says the ad.


Instructions on the back of the packaging spell out a cruel and humiliating self-hazing ritual that must be completed before using the Alpha Male Razor.

“The blade only works on men with real jobs since women wouldn’t know how it works.”

To top it all off, the blade comes with a built-in speaker which plays Jordan Peterson reading from his books to smoothly affirm pre-existing prejudices.

In related news, a special hotline has been set up by Piers Morgan to help all of the men who feel that they were oppressed by Gillette’s commercial.

WHTM article on thiso incident

Katsuro:
Seems like some alt-right snowflake beta cucks, insecure in their masculinity, got triggered again.  Says a lot about a person or group when they respond with outrage to a fucking ADVERT that says, "Hey, maybe don't bully or sexually assault anyone".  If those things define masuclinity for you, then you have serious issues.

Also, they might want to look into the Streisand Effect.  I mean if it wasn't for all this horseshit I'd have literally never seen or heard about the ad and I bet there's plenty other people who know about it who wouldn't have otherwise.  These fucknuckles are basically doing Gillet's marketing for them.

Art Vandelay:
As we all know, going viral is an advertiser's wet dream. I can't help but think provoking a pissing match over it is exactly what they were trying to do.
