   I lasted the whole day yesterday without hearing a single thing about this ad til I switched on twitch and saw the gate-rs spamming about how gillette hates men and everyone should boycott them.

   then turned off my t_d/mensrights filter on reddit and saw all the incels moaning.

   checked the ad out, those people are the target fuckin audience.
   Gillette doesn't like you, stop being "snowflakes" and learn what it's like to be a man in 2019.

      I'm generally against corporate virtue signalling, but its something that needs to be said.

      Perhaps some public funded broadcasting network in the US should launch a PSA lauding the same virtues so they don't have to associate it with a brand.

      At that point, who will "they" boycott? other people? neighbours?

      Cue the "Old Man Yells at Cloud" memes.
