Religion You gotta hand it to Gillette, I don't think I've ever seen so many downvotes on a Youtube video

If that video gives you all these feelings of insecurity (and anger) then maybe you are the intended target audience

I can turn it around and say if you are one who is offended because I say people who like these kind of SJW ads are pussy ass cucks, then maybe it hits a little too close to home. (Not singling anyone here in particular, of course.)

It is completely and totally racist but whatever.

20 seconds in there is some tv show with an all white audience where a white man pretends he is gonna goose some poor black maid.

Next we have a fake "rap video" section with all white people in it showing the evil white rapper degrading women.

Then we have a white frat boy in a striped shirt saying something like "come on sweetie" to which the taller more handsome dark skinned guy puts an end to right away.

Somewhere in there we do have some kids wrestling at a bbq and one black guy does say "boys will be boys" to balance it out.

But no, then we got another creepy white guy about to catcall a girl on the street only to be stopped by another black guy.

It's as phony as Lizard Lick Towing or any other "reality" show and they should be embarrassed.

Anyone who likes it should be embarrassed but whatever. Knock yourselves out.

Its really what the feminist thinks. This whole anti-white male movement is real and its invaded corporate culture.

and lolz at them using Ana Kasparian as a "news reporter".

How can someone possibly not like this ad? (and be a good person)
Lots of times white people say, "I am not racist - what do you (black person) want me to do about it?" And the answer is "Start with people you know or interact with and promote tolerance and don't put up with racism" - meaning - white people need to fix a white people problem. So here is an ad that is from Gillette, for men, by men, targeting men, saying, 'hey guys, lets be better men". Let's be a good example to boys who imitate us. This is a good thing.

Right wingers often say that "American family values" have fallen apart. That men need to be "men" and role models etc. Ok, great. This is what the ad is saying. Step up and be a better man.

I swear to god nothing at all anymore is non-controversial.

I’d give you multiple likes if I could. I don’t seee what’s wrong with wanting to make the world a better place.

The mental comments here by some of the typical “progressive” ideologues. Shows what’s wrong. I own a Gillette razor. I personally will keep using it because I’m not angry about it. The ones buying this shit are the same idiots who bought it when Nike supported kaeperknick although Phil Knight donated all this money to the republicans. It has so many down votes because people are tired of being told what to do especially by a company who sells fucking razors. No reason to get political. We get it, males are now the enemy, especially the straight white male. That’s weird but fine and all. You guys decide the rules and heirarchy here. What’s worse are these weak males that jump in and say oh yeah girls we suck, we gotta do better!!!

I mean shit, those are the guys to be scared of. The creepy stalker kinda fucks who aren’t in a relationship but say these things trying to lure in one of the dumb girls that thinks men were taught to rape or some odd shit. Shits gross. It’s common knowledge as a guy. As a person. Don’t be a creepy weird fuck. Nobody needs to be told this. I’m also amazed in the comments here I see the same old people saying that the trump guys are the ones behind the dislikes. Y’all are getting more conspiracy like then Alex Jones. Yes I’m sure there is a small percentage of people disliked the video for political reasoning but for the most part that’s real. People are tired of this shit. 200k likes. 500k dislikes. That should tell you to get the fuck out of your bubble because there are a lot more people than you think that aren’t even political but are sick of this kind of bullshit

No it’s because the target audience has caught wind of it and got their feelings hurt and are trying their hardest to show their manly solidarity and down vote the commercial. Every single person down voting is the intended audience. Funny how it works.

So assuming all 500k are guys, they must all be the douchebags of the world right? I mean come on. It's common sense not to be a shitty guy, nobody needs a razor company telling people how they should act in order to make noise. It's ridiculous and fake. That's why people dislike it. People, no matter the subject, hate being told what to do, especially by large corporations. They sell razors. What the fuck does any of it have to do with razors? nothing. It's nonsense.

They can tell me it is a good ad just like people can tell me that Hannah Gadsby is funny. They can tell me broccoli is better than sex and I should let my dogs run away instead of live in captivity.

It doesn't really matter what absurd thing someone tells me I have to agree with or I'm a bad person. That person should look in the mirror.

 

[Lanny]

The ad is from a feminist nutbag trying to lecture men since men are bad.

It's not about men. It's about some men.

Why do you assume that the intended targets are all men or all straight men?
You do raise a good question. Should a business be telling people how to behave? I even wonder if they should install a flag pole and fly the American flag. An individual flying our flag seems wholly appropriate and even exemplorary in my book but a company? A company flying the flag or advocating some social opinion smacks of an attempt to garner more business.

It's labeling all who believe in that religion and this is wrong.

So you think this ad's creators were thinking "This is for every single man in the world because every single man sucks"?And its bad that something/someone sends a message to be better men? Or you think the men are great, we've got it all figured out, nothing to see here, we got our shit together why are you telling us to be better?

So much projection in here its glorious

There's a lot of disparity in this world. If you're on top, you seldom see disparity. Those who do see disparity are often called Progressives.
The sad part is that those who are economically on the bottom are manipulated by showing them how great it is that they are on top socially and, and this is the really damning part, economically. Actually, it's all pretty damning.

Men, meaning we all should be the best not just some of us. I thought that was obvious. Guess not.

THE BEST MEN CAN BE

Thirty years ago, we launched our The Best A Man Can Get tagline.

Since then, it has been an aspirational statement, reflecting standards that many men strive to achieve.

But turn on the news today and it’s easy to believe that men are not at their best. Many find themselves at a crossroads, caught between the past and a new era of masculinity. While it is clear that changes are needed, where and how we can start to effect that change is less obvious for many. And when the changes needed seem so monumental, it can feel daunting to begin. So, let’s do it together.

It’s time we acknowledge that brands, like ours, play a role in influencing culture. And as a company that encourages men to be their best, we have a responsibility to make sure we are promoting positive, attainable, inclusive and healthy versions of what it means to be a man. With that in mind, we have spent the last few months taking a hard look at our past and coming communication and reflecting on the types of men and behaviors we want to celebrate. We’re inviting all men along this journey with us – to strive to be better, to make us better, and to help each other be better.

From today on, we pledge to actively challenge the stereotypes and expectations of what it means to be a man everywhere you see Gillette. In the ads we run, the images we publish to social media, the words we choose, and so much more.

As part of The Best Men Can Be campaign, Gillette is committing to donate $1 million per year for the next three years to non-profit organizations executing programs in the United States designed to inspire, educate and help men of all ages achieve their personal “best” and become role models for the next generation.

Our tagline needs to continue to inspire us all to be better every day, and to help create a new standard for boys to admire and for men to achieve… Because the boys of today are the men of tomorrow.

We’ve all got work to do. And it starts today.

Gillette. The Best A Man Can Get.

No, I think the creators are really dumb though. Anytime somebody has tried to get political in an ad or commercial, it gets so many dislikes. Only thing it does is get people talking about it. How do you go from "gillette, the best a man can get" to "gillette, the best a man can be". what are you trying to say here? they are shitting on their demographic and obviously it doesn't work. The ad is just plain bad. Gillette out here changing the world though and men who are shitty for sure. Yeah totally

 

[Lanny]

most certainly not all but there are a lot that believe that.

What's a lot? I think a lot is a lot of those that wind up in the news and not a lot statistically.
