I mean if EA wanted to put a statement out about supporting black people in regards to police brutality or whatever I wouldn’t think much of it. They’re within their right to do so
Probably just a quick “ight bet” and go about my day.
I wouldn’t go around saying I’m not playing any EA games or crying on social media about it
I'm not saying boycott them. I just don't like corporate America taking our message and slowly tweaking it to fit their agenda
LIKE THEY ALWAYS HAVE

I feel that
Because social progress shouldn't come with a price tag. You're clearly very passionate about the metoo movement. Why would you want to see it commercialized and sold back to you? The fact you don't care what corporations do when manipulating your message means you don't actually give a f*** about it at all as long as you achieve your agenda. Which it won't btw. Once you let corporate America twist it the message is caught in a blur. It's happened many times over
I don't see why I should give energy to that in particular. Under capitalism everything is going to be monetized for consumption. It's a disease that infects every part of life.
There's no ethical consumption under capitalist reign. We know this.
What I'm saying is in the meantime why let capitalists doing the s*** they are going to do from now until forever, block the progress we make amoungst real people?

Bro you want social change in one area but disregard it in another
You can easily change this to "men are always going to be garbage why should I put my energy into this"
You can vocalize this same argument into any type of societal problem

To just ignore the point completely and focus on the fact that it was an ad from a company sounds like an excuse to perpetuate the status quo.

That's the argument of the thread. Why do people hate that commercial? Because Chester cheetah shouldn't speak for people's rights when corporations done 5x times the damage and manipulate whatever message you want to get out there to put money in their pockets
I've never argued against progress. I argue against the channels you're choosing to get the message out because those channels never have worked properly
True Societal progress has never been brought forth by a brand.
There's a reason why
Bro that sjw s*** runs the media nowadays though. It's clearly not just the internet
Every commercial gotta make a social statement why can't we just be f***ing people fam. We can't get away from this s***. Yes it's a positive force ig.
But sometimes these commercials are just not coming from a good source.
Remember that Pepsi ad?
!https://youtu.be/j9x15lR9VIgWow such feelings, great positive force in the world
I mean you're not wrong but I still think a lot of people don't really think like that
It definitely creates a weird social atmosphere though like people are afraid to say things thst could be taken out of context because of the s*** we see in the media
Because the culture wars must go on ad infinitum. Politics is really just whether or not you think the Redskins should change their name after all

if you think corporations are truly sincere, you're a f***ing idiot, of course they're capitalists only concerned with profit
they simply go where the biggest profit is
however, this does not disparage a movement since i saw reactionaries use this argument trying to say BLM wasn't helping the community since corporations were supporting it and we're just like, of course corporations support it because a lot of people in america are supporting it and saw what the f*** was going on
corporations supporting progressive movements does not lessen them, please know this

Man I was really a garbage human being until I watched that lucky charms commercial that made me rethink my life choices
I just hate how we started making social progress and then immediately took it too far. The second we all acknowledged some men were a******s and their behavior is wrong it became 98% of men are s***stains
Sounds like you had an overreaction, if you're a good guy don't let this be a personal attack on you no one seriously thinks it's 98% bad men out here. You sound like you fell for those outrage youtube propaganda people that spout white genocide bs in every video
Most people who get really upset over it are just insecure and took it as a personal attack whether they do the things in the commercial or not.
But objectively it’s it’s a s***ty commercial that serves no actual purpose other than to score some points with the woke types.
Like the biggest red flag imo is the part where the guy is about to go approach an attractive woman and the black guy stops him. You’re telling me you can’t even APPROACH a woman now without that being wrong?

I've debated with guys like Bo Ceephus before. They seem to think a message has no meaning if it comes from a bad messenger, the world is black and white to them, they also completely ignore that "corporations" are actually just people like me and you who have feelings and change employees and CEO's every year and with those new workers comes new views.
Pointless arguing with them because they've decided it doesn't matter what corporations say unless it's something they like
never seen this before but i assume people would dislike how a multi billion dollar corporation is preaching to them and trying to take a progressive stance on societal issues when in reality they dont care about women, the environment, or anything other than their own profit margins
Man I hate how all women f***ing cheat and talk s*** about each other. Women f***ing suck all they do is lie, have pre marital sex, and get abortions.
I think to really drill this point home, I'm gonna make a Venus commercial displaying how lame it is to be a woman.
How'd that make you feel?
niggas who dont have anything to shave wanna boycott
@Bo_Ceephus speaking facts in this thread

This is so f***ing stupid lol. And the fact that you associate cheating and pre marital s***with being exclusive to women shows the kind of nigga you are
