Mixed race couples on tv ads **Mod Warning in Post #556**

Why does the thread title say warning in post #556?

It's just a heads up to let ppl know they can skip post 556

Some folks really are looking for things to get outraged with. Usually the type of person that tells everyone else they're snowflakes and too sensitive.

The ironing is delicious.

Thanks for solidifying my point.

The overweight and obese are sorely underrepresented in advertising.

They can pat MegaCorporation on the back for sticking a BLM/rainbow*/Ukraine/"safe" cause du jour flag on their social media.

Not a Palestinian flag though..oh no, not that.

*participating western countries only.

Bravo

Effectively these corporations were not so much aligning with left-wing movements as they were subverting them, by pushing them away from economic leftist concerns around economic inequality, wage parity etc. towards social chaos-type leftism where arguments over social reality dominate all other concerns.

Occupy Wall Street appeared around 2011.

The New York Times (which is the most influential newspaper in the world) began pushing “transgenderism” heavily in 2013.

You are wrong in practice.

Senior management and advertising executives do not act to maximise the company's profits in all cases.

They just as often use these companies as vehicles for their own careers - and as part of that careerism seek rewards for their social and political conformity. These rewards are usually granted in an increasingly corporatist system.

So that when a failed corporation is broken up for assets, which are moved around to similar corporations, the CEO is not ruined but appointed to a new role on the CEO circuit.

Failed advertising campaigns like Gilette and Bud Light result in opposition to the point of triggering boycotts.

Effectively advertising departments are quasi-autonomous and respond to feedback from the liberal-social propaganda bubble. They are not just arms of unthinking money machines.

What would advertising be like if advertising departments were solely focused on reveune?

Apolitical and culturally neutral, as they were in the past.

A company in which revenue maximisation was the only real goal wouldn't go within 10,000 miles of divisive political and cultural issues.

That boycotts are now seemingly routine should be enough to show that this is not the A to B business environment described in your Leaving Cert Business textbook.

I'd say it's pretty weird to want your child to aspire to marrying a white guy.... Like personally speaking, I'd prefer for my child to just marry a good person that they have chemistry with. Don't care what race or gender they are. The fact it seems to be a factor for that poster isn't a great reflection of them tbh.

It's a problem because it's woke. Whatever that means.
