Free market all the way. The goal of advertising is obviously to sell products but that doesn't keep companies from making really stupid decisions. If Bud Light wished to tank their sales and ruin their brand by featuring a dude in a dress then that's their business. Same with Disney and Jaguar. Go Woke Go Broke became a thing for a reason. We're now moving past peak woke and into a new, more free, era.

Who went broke by being woke?

How is it more "free" to limit what Bud Light can print on a limited edition set of beer cans?

We get to see numerous elementary and middle school teachers bragging about indoctrinating their students with the transgender/LGBT agenda. They put it out for the world to see and Libs of TT sends it to the world.

Fair. Mostly people under 30 on Tik Tok who've never seen traditional - All American - advertising. Advertising has been so woke it's jarring to them.

It is never easy to tell what someone means by "woke" but I don't think it's the sexuality of the ads that people are complaining about.

I'm a little confused - you seem to literally be describing conservatives "cancelling" companies for having advertising deemed as "woke" then saying we're heading into a "more free" era. Shouldn't "more free" mean a company should be "free" to use a transgender woman as a spokesperson without worrying that conservatives will irrationally lose their minds over it?

Even in the well-travelled annals of conservative cognitive dissonance this post stands out. Really a perfect illustration of how what conservatives really mean by "free" is "I only have to see things that I personally like." What's the difference between someone on TikTok being triggered by a Sydney Sweeney ad and conservatives being triggered by "a dude in a dress" in a different ad? Seems like all of them are being equally ridiculous to me.
 
Ya'll need to listen to rameouser here. He is absolutely correct that a lot of the current animosity towards the left is due to feeds such as libs of TikTok.

It's why reality doesn't matter any more, as much as perception does. Because that is the filter through which much of the country currently operates. And there ain't shit that you, or me, or any of us can do anything about it. Algorithms filtered through algorithms filtered through algorithms used to confirm absurdity biases. Once you get that, a lot of where we are makes sense.

Because if the version of reality that libs of TikTok puts out was actual reality, then a lot of the right's beliefs about the left make some semblance of sense. Not a lot mind you, but some. No matter what liberal policies actually are, or what the motivation behind them is, that is what they see.

Liberal TikTok to the left, foxnews to the right, stuck in the middle with you.

Yeah sure man, if it makes you feel better to believe that public school teachers all across the USA are "indoctrinating their students with the transgender/LGBT agenda," you do you I guess. Seems like pretty classic snowflake behavior to me.

And that of course ignores all the other deranged shit Chaya Raichik does, like sic the Proud Boys and other right-wing pyschos on every "drag queen story hour" she can find. or making up bonkers lies about hospitals doing gender-affirming surgeries for minors, or saying that any teacher who so much as says they're gay should be fired Just classic "freedom" right ramrouser?

If you look at the whole series of ads, I agree.

If you look only at the one where she's specifically talking about how genes are passed down from your parents,

it's a play on words. specifically a homophone.

That's because you're one of the many liberals that finds racism eeeeeverywhere.

duh. it's a commercial for clothing.
superrific said:
let alone an intentional one, but it is weird that they leaned into genetics in that way.

It's not weird. It's funny because her genes are why she's very attractive and why her butt looks great in jeans.
superrific said:
My question: who are the people criticizing the ad campaign? Google tells me it's "some tiktok users." I mean, how manufactured is this "controversy"?

mostly unattractive liberal women.

Pick me! Pick me!

I bet it's because black people like video games, too!
 
Companies are free to advertise anyway they want to in order to sell their products. No one is suggesting the government control content so it isn't woke or diverse. Go as woke as you want for all I care if you're a private company (military is another matter). The interesting topic for today is that an America Company has put out a major ad which unabashedly celebrates American hotness without embarrassment or shame and younger liberals on TT are freaking out about it. Young liberal Gen Zers are free to boycott American Eagle all they want and conservatives can stop watching Disney movies if that's their thing.

And, a company like CBS is free to decide that it no longer wants to pay a talk show host $20M so that it can continue losing $40M per year.

Not true. Companies are perfectly free to advertise their products using one legged transgender women and people are free to criticize it and not buy the products. Goes both ways. People who don't like the SS ad are free to not buy American Eagle jeans. Personally, I've never participated in a boycott in my life so it's not my thing.

It is hilarious. A bunch of whiney blue haired females with nose rings crying and complaining about a pretty white girl in an ad. Libs of TikTok performs an invaluable service of providing me (and other conservatives) the feeds since I'm certainly not on TikTok.

Libs of TikTok provides you with what you want to hear, not what actually is. They look for the most bizzaro shit from the left they can find, and present it as if it's mainstream liberal thought. It isn't.

OK so what exactly is "more free" now then it used to be?

Oh really? Because the Trump admin has already done exactly that, in a number of contexts. Like, say, taking legal action against law firms who have DEI policies. And, of course, Florida has passed a law literally making it illegal for a teacher to say what their pronouns are. Glad to know you are strongly opposed to these conservative efforts to regulate speech so it isn't "woke or diverse."
