I was waiting to hear back and see which link to pm.

...Is there reverse cuckoldry porn?  I've never really looked, but the concept is an interesting one.

Do you mean monogamy porn? Or where the woman is cuckold?

The latter.  Don't really need links, twas more academic than a request.

Yeah. There's actually a word for a female cuckold: cuckquean.

Peter and Ashleigh Coffin present constructive criticism of the discussion around the ad campaign in their Adversaries video series. Something everyone might want to remember is:

Quote
And it's important to note that that's specifically what the company wants out of you. They want you to take a side on this issue and they want you to either attack them or defend them over toxic masculinity. So, whatever you think about this issue, try to keep it separate from Gillette. Like, that's your best approach with that.

In other words keep your eyes on the issue instead of the messenger. What you think about Gillette [edit: and this particular ad] should be just a side note since they are nobody's ally, they just want your attention.

That word just looks nasty, for some reason.  Prolly because it shares a long series of letters with the word "queasy."

I came late to the party and missed another "apologia for reactionaries" shitfight? Shit!

Yeah, the ad isn't offensive to all men and saying some men are doing the right thing pretty much underscores that.

Good advertising strategy though, offend the dolt right and suddenly everybody is raving about the shit you're hocking to the general public because the dolts go and do your advertising for you gratis. Worked for Nike too.

Those of us who are old may remember United Colours of Benetton making similar ads: https://www.vogue.co.uk/gallery/benettons-best-advertising-campaigns
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Mmm... not necessarily. Charles R. Taylor, a man with some very impressive advertising credentials, says this campaign was probably a mistake. Sometimes, there is such a thing as bad publicity.

He has a right to his opinion. Experts have different opinions. We'll see if he's wrong or not eventually. But my guess is most people probably won't care enough to boycott or impact Gillette negatively.

How can this be bad publicity? What in the ad was it that can be seen as a bad thing?

These guys saw the ad as a bad thing.
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6VZlAKAfuA" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6VZlAKAfuA</a>Clearly the customers Charles Taylor thinks Gillette will "unnecessarily alienate" and where would a razor company be without angry alt right dudes with neckbeards?

I could see this being bad publicity in that people realise it's a corporation trying to use a serious issue to flog overpriced razors. Though that's probably just wishful thinking on my part.

They are seriously trying to flog overpriced razors, what are ya? A toxically masculine...commie or sumtin'?

Pardon me but watching dolt-right granpas screech about union busting, money hoarding, politician buying, environment-fucking multinational corporations like Nike, Benetton and Gillette being "cultural Marxists" sends my sides into orbit!

They aren't bad, but the refills could stand to be cheaper.  I used to have a better kind, but a certain someone to whom I'm engaged accidentally knocked it out of the shower caddy and broke it and I haven't been able to find a replacement.
