I'm kind of baffled as to why so many companies are pushing political agendas that are counterproductive to their own profitability? I thought that the one iron-clad law in business was the bottom line? So why shoot yourself in the foot? Who's making these decisions? And who hired those people? I just don't get it.
post it on pol you low iq fuck
>>12476815it's because it isn't counter to their own profitability
>>12476824It is though.
>>12476815because these companies hired SJW's who worked their way up the food chain under threat of #metoo and now they are pushing their bullshit agendas and again the CEOs and boards are either SJWs now as well or they are too scared of getting #metoo'd to stop it.
>/pol/tards having temper tantrums and virtue signalling to each other about muh white male victims is bad for businesslol not in the real world, kid
>>12476815I’ll explain it to youIt’s marketing managers testing the effectiveness of identity politics. They’ll see how this ad will do as a gauge of market interest in the message it portrays.Also it allows the person in charge to make a splash by creating a viral campaign whether it is positive or not, essentially (at least in their mind) moving on the fast track to a high six figures director role. They’ll shill as appealing to a larger audience but it’s really kissing ass to the top in order to get a higher position, leveraging that experience in order to go to a smaller company as a market executive, possibly president or some kind of VP, and make an even bigger salary, then leveraging that experience to get a c suite and a golden parachute.
>>12476815Gillette seems to be banking the fact that women still do the majority of the shopping in the US, even for men's products for their husbands. Otherwise it seems really dumb to alienate a huge portion of your consumer base.
>>12476843You’ll get the rope, too
>>12476815Intersting how all the obese incels on /pol/ are whining about the Gillette ad and calling for boycotts and then complain about SJWs whining everytime SJWs target a company for the same reasons.fuck off back to your cesspool of a board. /pol/tards are equally as annoying as SJWs
>>12476815It’s the Trump model: any publicity is good publicity. Did you know Gillette is a Proctor and Gamble brand before this? I didn’t.
>>12476878still mad from election night?
>>12476950No I'm mad because you won't stay on your containment board.
That ad was fine though.
>>12476815>>12476862>>12476878>>12476941They're banking on the fact that liberals will continue to win the culture war. This isn't so much an ad for now as it is an ad for the future. They don't give a fuck what people think about now. They want people to study this ad in business classes 25 years from now and have those kids think, "Wow, Gillette was really ahead of the curve". Basically the equivalent of multi-racial ads in the 1960s.
>>12476815anyone remember this shitty pepsi ad?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfCiV6ysngUit's not as bad as Battlefield 5 or Gillette but it's pretty close.battlefield 5 in case anyone hasnt seen it:https://www.youtube.com/embed/fb1MR85XFOc>>12476823fuck you, cuck. it's business related.
>>12476993>liberals are winning the culture warThree words: President Donald Trump. Make of that what you will.
>>12476993cope
>>12476993They're absolutely winning.Go take a look at normie sites like Reddit, its faggotry and degeneracy of the kind our grandparents wouldn't even concieve of.
>>12476815When companies approach natural monopolies or are massive multinational conglomerates, then they can dictate market conditions. Don't like their message? Too bad. Go invent your own internet. Go invent your own detergent, toothpastes, and soaps. Western governments are too cucked to do anything about it.
It causes controversy and thereby brand awareness. You are playing into their hand by making this thread.saged
>>12476978Really? cause it seems more like youre still mad about election night :)
>>12477015Completely incompetent figurehead who gives backwards conservatives warm feels because he's a racist retard like they are, while enacting zero useful legislation or positive change. And the best part is that conservatives claim to "hate identity politics" while choosing the absolute peak of muh white male identity politics.
>>12477032You know you can buy other brands, right? Better yet, learn to shave with a straight razor and never buy another one again.
>>12477048You sound extremely salty. I’m not American by the way.
>>12476862Probably this. If you thought being single saved you from nagging you are wrong. Women have gotten multinational corporations to nag you to death for them.
>>12476878
>>12477061admit you'd be too if you had our president
And this is why people will leave the stock market in 2019 and enter the crypto market. See you all at 100k q4. This is the reason the stock market will capitulate soon.
>>12477046Positive. It's you shitting up my /biz/ with your political snowflake crap
>>12476824so much fucking this, these incel retards spend so much time in the echo chambers they really have no fucking clue how out of touch with humanity they are.
>>12477051>You know you can buy other brands, right?That's pretty naive. The companies are acting as cartels now. And again they are conglomerates. You are feeding the beast in some way whether you like to or not. Unless you want to live innawoods.
>>12476875how can he get the rope when you're getting the bullet?
>>12477072>can’t compose a proper sentence Ask me how I know you are American.
>>12477074yes an incel meme from /pol/ will take down the stock market. genius
>>12477079Leftypol shits up the board 100x more than regular pol, but I dont see you Defening us from them
>>12477100Once again, buy the durable equivalents of disposable products and you win twice: you get to stick it to the corporations where it hurts (their bottom lines) and you save money in the process.
>>12477015They are absolutely winning.Its not exactly a courageous position to be anti-Trump in public.If some bitch comedian had a photo of herself holding Obama's severed head it would have been doubleplusbad for her.
>>12477030Population of USA + UK: 391 millionPopulation of USA + all of Europe: 1066 millionPopulation of India + China: 2725 millionMost people on Earth do not subscribe to western ideas. You and your neighbour are a minority.India and China are only just beginning to come online and there's still the language barrier. But it will show more and more what humanity really think and SJW and feminists alike will feel it.
>>12477126I really hope those godless chinks win.
>>12477126Chinese guy here. We don't really like Indians but we will readily admit that they're less cucked than westerners. In Asia, the man is king and women do what they're told. That's how you keep a community, a country, strong. You divert from that and you have all this gay tranny shit happening in the West. China just gets stronger over time and western countries get darker and dumber.

>>12477224It wasn't even educational. It was preachy.
wagecucks shavewagecucks are cuckscucks want to be cucksmake a cuck admanchildren from 4chan are not important and they don't shave anyway
>>12476815This guy is right, more than he knows:>>12476824Women are the chief household purchaser of womens AND mens toiletries. What percentage of men over 35 purchase their own deodorant? Most men just ask their fucking wife to pick some up at the store. Just think in your own life, how often to you buy cologne for yourself? Gillette pandering to women is just an appeal to their target demo. Women buy toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, and shaving products for the men in their homes. Bucking this trend was the secret to the success of Axe body spray; they actually got young men to seek out a specific grooming product. This is something that is almost never done in the industry. Check the add in my pic, who is the target demo for it?
>>12477208If you were actually Chinese you’d know that the mainlanders consider western born Chinese to be degenerate and weak. Besides, the notion that the Chinese will invade is so ridiculous as to be laughable. They have zero blue water capability and can barely suppress dissent within their own country, let alone project force outside of their own borders. Africa doesn’t count.
>>12477126>chinks and pajeets>humanpick one
>>12477242>If you were actually Chinese you’d know that the mainlanders consider western born Chinese to be degenerate and weakI've never heard that opinion. Probably because they're little fucking girls and afraid to insult me to my face. I've been to China plenty and never felt out of place.
>>12477241There's not even enough people with a wife or Gf to make up a bulk of shopping. It's all singles and degenerates spreading aids.
>>12477241>posts ad from the 70s
>>12477253>China stronk, they’ll invade and start killing non-chinese>mainland Chinese are little fucking girlsIf you are in fact Chinese, thank you for dispelling the high iq myth.
>>12476815Using political agendas like this is an easy fucking way to get attention via the social media outrage cycle on a fraction of the marketing budget it would take to buy ad time. It's just fucking clickbait. The company feels like the exposure will increase sales, even if it turns some customers off.
>>12477241There are a lot more single men nowadays.
>>12477276Girls can fire guns. Niggers are low iq and kill people all the time. You talk about low IQ but you're the dumbest person here.
>>12477263That's the joke of the whole thing. The culture still hasn't changed much. What your seeing now is the "woke" version of the ads from the 70s. Just convince gullible women that they can change the behavior of their man with some shaving cream. Go women's empowerment!
>>12477296>your man can be like James Bond, daring, brave, sexy, misogynistic >your man can be a huge pussy that’ll cuddle with you on the couch and talk to you about feelingsYeah, totally the same.
>>12477262>>12477278You incels are fucking idiots. Sure, the number of married men is down. But, the total number of men cohabitating with women is just as high. Millennials are moving in with each other in their 20s instead of getting married. It's the save behavior with a different name.http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2011/06/27/living-together-the-economics-of-cohabitation/There have always been a subset of loser men that couldn't get laid. You and your lot in life aren't new or special.
its not da joos most companies are just retarded and they have to hire women so this is what happens
>>12477048I don't believe Trump has ever even said the word "white" before. Plenty of times "African Americans" and "Latinos" though. I'm curious. What do people like you imagine America to be? Just like a world shopping center with a rich/poor divide like the third world? It's already not even a nation anymore.
Its because someone internally wants to sell stock, so they make you think it was a "dumb political stunt" that made their stock drop when really it was someone internal selling mostly, like the CEO having his friends sell.
>>12477242I think for the time being is key here when thinking about a possible Chinese rise, because yes, the US Navy dominates. I could def. see it happening long-term, though, as the US becomes increasingly fractured and third world.
>>12477208Lol have you seen the Chinese soldiers? How the fuck will those little guys invade anything? A bunch of weak manlets like you
>>12477363Nah, lots more incels nowadays especially in the Tinder age, where women can be super choosey. Go ahead and google it. Results may not be because of what I think is the reason (loss of traditional morals/culture), but there's plenty of stats out there about the rise of single men.
>>12477531Maybe, but China has 5000 years of history in which it cyclically centralizes and decentralizes, which is to say forms empires which then collapse due to various forces, both internal and external. They have no history of projecting military or political power beyond their corner of the world. I’m not saying it can’t or won’t happen, I’m just saying there’s no precedent for it, and they’ve had a long time in which they could have set such a precedent. Also, speaking from experience, Chinese people make poor leaders and are culturally subservient making them ill-equipped to rule anyone other than each other. Maybe I’m wrong, but I really hope not. A Chinese dominated world would be pretty shit for all concerned.
>>12477235>wagecucks shave Neither soibois nor lefty feminists that buy into SJW bullshit shave....
>>12476823it's business related retard
>>12476815This whole gillette controvercy is just giving them exposure which leads to an increase in sales. The ad was just the marketing team trying to target women because men growing out their hair is more common now so they are seeing if their sales nimbers go up when they target women. Gillette could care less about the message they just think that ad would be appealing to women.
Because muh current year CSR
>>12477580Good take. Thanks, anon.
>>12477241Maybe in the 50’s and 60’s grandpa half the adult males(25-32) out there today don’t even have a girlfriend let alone a wife so of course they’re buying their own hygiene products.Gillette fucked up and it’s showing stocks are down regardless of the bear before this they were holding and no one gave a shit now they took a risk and are paying the pricePlay stupid games win stupid prizes maybe I’ll jump in when p&g dips below 70
>>12476815the outrage was expected, calculated for, and, ultimately, designed to benefit gillette. This is literally going all according to their keikaku. they managed to get millions of people to talk about fucking razor blades for days on end, that's a successful marketing campaign if you ask me
>>12477777>off by onefucking gay
>>12477010Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is a worksafe board, Anon. That spooky skull is definitely far too spooy to be posting here. Please, Anon, for the sake of Hiro's advertisers, stop this spookiness.
>>12476815Have you ever heard of the phrase, "there's no such thing as bad publicity" OP? How many times have you thought of the company Gillette before this commercial aired?
>>12476859based and black pilled
>>12476815More women running companies on feelings not logic.
>>12476815this is how three letter agencies influence the population...they plant people in major orginzations who push social agendas the idea of independent thought...now companies advertise to tell you what to think. this ad speaks to an entire gender, and aims to emasculate traditional male values so that males are now expected to be subservient, onions-loving, citizens who wouldn't dare have a controversial opinion. the problem is, america got tired of the psyops and has moved in a more populist direction with the election of trump.
>I've been using the same mach 3 razor for the past 5 yearsGet on my level, plebs
It's not for customers. It's not for you. It's for upper-middle and upper-class progressives to make them feel good. Though it is a sign of the times that Gillette ads are now about criticizing the negative aspects of masculinity, whereas in the past they were about praising its positive aspects.
>>12477513underrated and woke
>>12477992Hey, there's nothing wrong with onions.
Anyway, anyone in this thread who watched the ad and is now complaining ought to reconsider their life choices.
>>12476815It's actually quite a mystery.. I think that the message they were trying to commune : "you are not good enough. You may be doing your best in life as a man/father/husband, but your best is not enough, you need to do better." - buy our brand.If it was "you are not good enough as you are on this particular limited area" - buy our brand. Then they would have a good message, but they went for an unironic "everything is wrong with you".
>>12476843It is though. Fuck your politics (this isn't about /pol/ shit) - is alienating a core demographic good business? Seriously, ignore politics for one second - break the business strategy down for me. Explain, in detail, why companies from EA to Gillette are going out of their way to piss off their main customer base. And no, it isn't viral marketing - I've heard that excuse and I don't buy it. When a company annoys me, I never buy from them again if possible. And again (because I know none of you faggots can stfu about your retarded, delusional, political shit for 2 seconds), this is isn't even a political issue - I'm irritated enough by Bethesda for example that I'm never putting another Fallout or Elder Scrolls on prepurchase again, just from the way they've treated their customers.
Who here unironically an SJW
>>12476842>because these companies hired SJW's who worked their way up the food chain under threat of #metoo and now they are pushing their bullshit agendas and again the CEOs and boards are either SJWs now as well or they are too scared of getting #metoo'd to stop it.Except this ad was done by a third party marketing company that was barely overseen by Gillette due to their long term trust relationship.
>>12476815Pretty ridiculous ad but I’m OK with it, targeting gullible people is a profitable strategy.
>>12477030Isn't it interesting that in the other 80% of the world faggots are killed? You exist purely out of the near suicidal tolerance of whites.
>>12476815Companies just get bailed out by the fed so profitability is a moot point
>>12476815there are other people in the world besides whites. get over it. youre not the majority and the world doesnt revolve around you or the sun
>>12477568This. 1 in 4 men is still virgin by age 26
>>12477630The ad certainly is appealing to most women.
>>12476815when was the last time you actually talked about Gillette, the specific brand name, in any conversation in the last 5 years?guess what name your talking about now.thats all there is too it.
>>12477291>chinks are scared little girls that are afraid to insult you to your face>chinks will invade the USthat china fakes IQ reports is confirmed. chinks are retarded
>>12478742>any exposure is good exposureThis doesn't apply to all cases retard. Remember Enron? Battlefield V? Diablo Mobile? GE? Theres a ton more that nobody remembers despite major public recognition at the time.It only matters if people buy it, and nobody is going to buy shit. Literally business 101: Someone needs to give you their money.
>>12476878>incelYou notice how this is the leftist version of cuck now? Can't be calling people virgins anymore, so just use another word that means the same thing but has more baggage to it. But just like everything else leftists do, its inferior to "cuck", because anyone who uses "incel" are also incel in denials. Anyway shithead. I'll gladly boycott Gilette and support mass movements to attack and punish any companies that decides to kneetow towards far left agenda.There is no hypocrisy here, I'll gladly mock and smash any SJW in the face when they want to boycott our product, because the circumstances are not even comparable, SJW boycott companies that are not being destructive to western civilization. Companies that the right boycott are. And no one /pol/ is complaining that SJW boycott, they are complaining for the reason why. If I listened to gutless losers like you, you would say that the most ideal situation is for conservatives to just be meek and submissive and gladly allow SJW to boycott and use their tolitararian tools to shut down anything they like, while the right of course, gets nothing in return. That's the problem with the right, they are too tolerant of you, and given how much the masses disliked that stupid video, you chewed on more then you can handle. Radical centrists are human garbage, such human garbage that if there is one thing the far left and far right can agree on, is that they deserve the fate le radical centrists usually get. But nope, DA SJW ARE JUST LIKE DA /POL/, even though one side hates white people, loves open borders and denies IQ.
>>12476993>>12477015Leftists (always use this word) WON the culture war. There is no "culture war", they have dominated Western institutions, and are simply getting more aggressive with their attitudes. See, this is the problem with apoliticalfags who are starting to feel the heat from the far left cult. They don't understand how bad the problem really is. Maybe they will when the racial equality pseudoscience starts to break down, and the truth about genes, IQ and race can no longer be covered up, and we see that every anti-racist fuckhead is truly mentally ill who will deny genetics.As for your question, its because far leftists are in position of powers, and progressive values are now the dominant religious ideology of our times, and its one many of these so-called capitalist institutions, are more then happy to promote, same with other neo-liberal ideas like open borders. That's the problem, its not just the far left, there is an unholy marriage between far left progressive values and neo-liberalism, we can only hope that the far left economic values will start to eat neo-liberalism on the inside.
>>12477126til there are 1 billion cumskins in the world. one billion too many if you ask me.
>>12477079I'll rather have /pol/ here then you, especially since this thread is on-topic. Also nice misue of the word "snowflake", that's a red flag you are a reddior browsing a site you don't belong on. You're just a little coward who can't stand hearing the truth. A little mental midget afraid of opposing views so you resort to little insults.. If you know deep down, that your opinions are worthless. Then how about you shut the fuck up and stop shitting /biz/ with your garbage and wrong political views. Too stupid to even see the obvious? Most anti-/pol/ retards are in fact retards.>>12477094>>12477103>how out of touch with humanity they areAnd yet there is such a massive backlash over 100k in downvotes on the youtube video, massive hate on the official facebook page, that you leftists losers have to engage in damage control and censorship to keep it down. Didn't you say the same about Battlefront V? Looks like that got a massive backlash and hurt sales pretty badly. Sounds like you are the one lacking in humanity and out of touch with the working class. Also, nice trying to sound tough. It is so much easier to justify murdering a leftists. No one cares if a leftists die, and people who murder them are considered hero. You gonna get the rope leftypol.
>>12478918I have to agree.At least /pol/ doesn't have some bitchy passive aggressive people always talking down to you and forcing their agendas onto kids. Better to have good diverse /pol/locks from the board of peace rather than a bitchy princess like Destiny, for example. Especially because conservatism promotes what's in the best interest of families and isn't based on moral relativism.
FUCK WOMENFUCK NIGGERSFUCK KIKESFUCK ADVERTISERSAND MOST IMPORTANTLYFUCK JANNIES
>>12476815Its so fucking simple, don't buy it anymore.Here is a real problem of white males, we like to whine behind our screen yet do nothing about it.IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM. EVEN BETTER DONT BUY ANYTHING RELATED TO THEIR BOSS COMPANY PROCTOR AND GAMBLE. WHICH HAVE MULTIPLE TIMES SHOWED THEIR TRUE COLOURS.For me it's fairly easy, they made a fuckup with their commercial and didn't back down on the statements. I will never buy a product of them again. But I won't start threads about it or ramble on Twitter. That's the difference with SJW activists.For the hurdurr how do I shave types- buy a 15 dollar safety razor on AliExpress- buy a 10 dollar pack of 100 Astra blades- buy shaving soap from proraso with a cheap brush Voila you can now shave for 2 years for the total costs of 35 dollar. And in my experience you get a better shave.The 3 blades thing is a memeI'm unironical never going to buy their shaving cream anymore.But I'm not going to wine about
>>12476815can i buy this on binance?
>>12476824Yeah most businesses couldn’t care less about SJW shit, it’s all in the money. If it was profitable to spout /pol/ memes businesses would be doing it. Businesses do market research and realize that most people in the West are leftist NPC’s so it’s only logical they would cater to this mindset.
>>12476815cause billion dollar companies marketing departments' are rly that out of touch with the community and valuesthey are autism in a business formjust think about the people in charge of the departments. probably 2 degrees phd masters all that shit nerds with 0 social experience.

>gillette comes out with an ad that promotes protective/guardian masculinity and shits on aggressive/predatory/bully masculinity>male burgers lose their shitamerican "culture wars" are hilariousimagine being offended by this shit. it's not like they're saying all men are toxic or anything and its not like they're saying only women suffer from the actions of men who behave in the way they want other men to help stop.this is so kneejerk. I feel sorry for you guys. the sad part is most of you were probably bullied and lived in the shadows of men who behaved in the way the ad wants to discourage, and now you feel bullied by the ad even though it (presumably) doesn't target any behavior you exhibit, and doesn't claim all men are like that either.
>>12479469probably some SJW female who got bullied aswell
>>12479488Checked
>>12479469>>12479505it was made by Jews, literally.
>>12479500I (idealizing protective masculinity) have been insulted by feminists and these types in general for being sexist and other shit. That, and you'll still be insulted as "incel" for not wanting roasties all the same. So guess what, I still downvoted the vid for their general peskiness.
>>12478918>Didn't you say the same about Battlefront V? no because I'm not a pathetic neckbeard and never even bothered to pay attention to that autistic screeching, christ are you seriously trying to paint vidya sales as a gauge of what normal people actually think you pathetic man child?

>>12476878What is pic trying to convey? Nobrainer goes in and ideologist comes out? If that's the case, then it's actually clever for not taking sides.
The #metoo movement is creating a toxic environment in which anyone can say anything about anyone with no proof and no recourse. What would once have been considered as slander is now accepted as the truth.

>>12476815Profitability is for cucks. You gotta listen to your overlords to stay in position of power and you gotta keep them in positions of power over masses.Corporations are the new media outlets, with the arrival of social media platforms...New voices of NWO
It's not about getting or losing business. They're too big for that. It's about serving their masters, who is Satan. It's about emasculating men.

They know what they're doing moreso than a bunch of butthurt people online do. For every person getting up in arms and crying foul, theres a girlfriend, wife, or mom out there thats putting Gillette razors in their carts for their men at home when they go shopping from now on. And the people who are up in arms probably wont even remember to keep their boycott going in 3 months due to the information overload each of us are exposed to everyday.This happens every single time people get upset about the 'political' shit a company does. The company takes some brief pushback, and then starts raking in money from people who are now loyal customers and the morons to stupid to remember why they were mad in the first place. You idiots fall for it hook line and sinker every fucking time. So why not make some easy money?
>>12476823You newfags need to leave. Reddit is that way
>>12479591You hope she remembers and doesnt default to Gillette. Then you hope everyone else's wife does the same and you all can keep at it for the forseeable future. One year later you check the stock prices and you realize its not happening.
>>12476815The fact that this thread is up again for the second time on a completely unrelated forum proves that this type of advertising is very effective. You easily triggered males gave them so much free publicity with your outrage. I'm 79% sure OP is a Gillette shill
>>12480031Based Kropotkin
Buy Gillette goyYou're not a sexist? Are you?
>>12478742"All publicity is good publicity" is actually a meme, it applies sometimes but it's not an absolute.I personally won't buy any Gilette ever after this.

>>12476823>business>post it on pol
>>12477122>>12477100Just buy an eletric razor bros, I've had the same one for years now and just have to clean it off with some rubbing alcohol sometimes.
>>12476842This. It's women.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assemblywomen
>>12476815because you're a dumb goyim. they produce rage porn because you'll get upset and share it. this leads to 10000x higher views than they would if they just made some mundane shit nobody cared about. they got you to make a fucking thread about them. they win.
>>12479488>muh botsEvery. Single. Time.
>>12478742I’m literally never buying Gillette again and neither is my father or any of my male cousins. Great strategy making a fucking razor political. Women and the people targeted will forget this little stunt quickly and probably didn’t change their buying habits at all. Me and my family however will never use them again. Feel free to keep making customers into enemies though. Great long term strategy.
>>12478742>>12480384It works well if your brand isn't already established. If you have no customers bad publicity is good publicity. Gillette can only net lose customers from this.
>>12479849>being so soi that you subconsciously recognize it's best to leave your genes out of the future in the current year
>>12476815They're not making business decisions, they're furthering social engineering.

>>12479628those bitches make me so fucking mad holy shit I cant wait until their old and unwanted, altho some beat cuck will probably marry her once she hits the wall and wants to "Settle down"
>>12476815Understand that Gillette has been struggling to survive against competitors like Dollar Shave Club. It was being discussed just a month prior to this desperate ad campaign.The real question is this: Does pandering to the retarded SJW market as a pre-qualified demographic actually result in revenue?
>>12479883OY VEY!! THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
>>12477246At least they are not SJW
>>12476824I already know you can't prove it and you're talking out of your ass, but maybe you can redeem yourself by showing other examples where pandering to the SJW demographic has resulted in more revenue and more investors.I'm not impressed with Starbucks quarterly report over the previous year after it pulled the rather unpopular #RaceTogether stunt. I suspect that the average consumer really doesn't give a shit either way and just wants a coffee though.
>>12476815its because women are getting into the boards now.. and fucking shit up
>>12481181Bro I've been on the chan since 11' and came across many terms but "Incel" has only started to appear here last year. I know it circulated on some more obscure boards like maybe /fa/ or /soc/? before but now it's become mainstream all over the internet. Just like how "troll" "autist" and "retard" was really popularized and used as standard 4chin culture vocabulary, this "incel" term got popular by the sjw/lefty/antifa/whatever side. To this day I still don't know what the fuck incel actually exactly means, but I assume it's something to do with taking a traditional stance towards women.
>>12476824>>12476823>>12481386Sorry, that's the quarter prior to the #RaceTogether campaign. Looks like they were struggling to improve their numbers. By the end of the first quarter of 2016 their net earnings were way down in spite of having slightly more operating income over the previous year. So far, I'm going to have to say that the SJW pandering strategy was a failure.
>>12476878SJWs have nothing to complain about. Open racist sexism against white men is blatantly real.
>>12481449>greater operating income>slightly lower operating expenses>net earnings 7.7% lower than previous yearIt looks like they took a huge hit during the SJW pandering. They have since moved away from that strategy and they're looking much better today.
Based.>>12476823>>12476878/pol/cucks>>12477010>>12476842>>12477593>>12480057>>12480849>>12476875
>>12481448"Incel" is a psyop to legitimize whores as virtuous and virginity as a character flaw. Sex is for making babies and establishing sex as primarily a form of recreation and fetishism as a form of personal identity is just another easy way we can manipulate plebs. Once you start thinking of these SJW types as a pre-qualified market, it all makes sense.
>>12481448Incel was unironically only used by sewer people with low self-esteem on weird anti-PUA forums for people like Elliott Rodger. Sites for people even more pathetic and fucked up than /r9k/. But now the mainstream is a sewer culture as well so they've adopted the terminology that the most deprived fucked up people use. But essentially it's just the typical "You're a virgin" response whenever women are criticized. Classic soviet/women styled shaming tactic.
>>12481503Incel is definitely a feminist and normie psy-operation. Maybe originally there were people that could identify like that without being looked down upon, but something changed when the reddit got banned. Feminist infiltration or something. I don't know how Chad and Stacy got into popular culture, but it did really fast.
>>12476823rekt, send those low IQ cunts on their way like the fpbp hero
>>12476823Imagine having this much onions running through your blood
>>12476815I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's complaining about onions foods or scared of drinking onions. The dollar buys a nickel's worth, banks are going bust, Rabbis keep a gun under the talmud. Racists trump supporters are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food can feed a lot of africans, and we sit browsing the internet while some news website tells us that today we had fifteen homo suicides and sixty-three hate speech crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my onions and my internet and my blog and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to be a chad! I don't want you to socialize. I don't want you to lift - I don't want you to write to your local buzzfeed reporter because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the pollution and the women rights and the Russians and the hate speech. All I know is that first you've got to be a chad. You've got to say, 'I'm a WHITE MALE, God damn it! My PRIVILEGE IS AN ISSUE!' So I want you to sit now. I want all of you to sit on your chairs. I want you to sit right now and go to your twitter page. Open it, and stick your fingers out, and type 'I'M A BASEDBOY, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!' I want you to go right now, login, go to your browser, open twitter and stick your fingers out and type – “I’M AS ONIONS AS HELL, AND I DON’T LIKE THESE PRIVILEGES ANYMORE!”
>>12481532Yeah being an AIDS craving "bug chaser" is now virtuous, but being a heterosexual man who doesn't have promiscuous sex with loose roasties is reprehensible. Only holes and absolute betas buy into this.
>>12481609Memes are now uses to advertise. The Bird Box memes are the most obvious recent example of fake accounts brute forcing memes into the normie psyche. It seems to be effective too. Check out LADBible as well. Their whole model is tailoring memes to normans.
>>12477568Just googled it. https://www.girlsaskguys.com/sexual-behavior/a22977-girls-on-tinder-do-smash-a-lotDam this shit is depressing. Why can’t women just pair up with their equals instead of being a chad fucking slut until they become a 30 year old that is now forever bitter that chad never settled for them. Women are hypergamous in their youth and then settle for a beta when they are all used up. Their hypergamey results in millions of lonely men and then they expect these men who were lonely all their lives to support and love them when chad won’t anymore. I say they can go fuck themselves and live life without a partner and support themselves like we had to for all our lives. Only when we stand up for ourselves will women change when they realize their is consequences to their actions.But that will,never happen, their will always be nigger chads with no standards that’ll fuck most girls and only settling for one leaving behind hundreds of used up roasties and betas will always pick up these roasties. This is why we used to have slut shaming and marriage before sex to prevent women from becoming degenerate sluts that’ll end up destroying our civilization. Fuck this Jewish pozzed earth, fuck women
>>12481448Incel means "involuntarily celibate" and came to the fore after this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto_van_attack
>>12479452I don't think that's true, this kind of thinking brought people to believe that Clinton would win over Trump. The leftists npc's are a very VOCAL minority.The fact that americans voted for an extremist even though the media was against him, tells me most americans are actually center, center-right or right.I think this was a gamble they took where they hoped it would appeal to leftists and the right simply wouldn't care
>>12476815I just don't care. No normal person does, therefore it's not detrimental to their profitability. You're browsing the specific sections of the internet where people do.
>>12481872You're wanting way too much from women and it's making you spiteful. You're given them too much power. Women exist to make babies. All you need to do is focus on yourself and then find a woman with the intent to impregnate her. As far as being able to keep your family together in this fucked up system where she can take the kids and then demand money from you on top of it through the legal threat of force... Well, good luck.
Gillette is aligning themselves with "the right side of history". It's a survival mechanism. Stop thinking so short-term, anon. A minor (and transient) drop in profits is a price they are willing to pay for the exposure and advertisement of their values as a corporation. Gillette is owned by a corporation with many resources and I guarantee they did their research and due diligence before making this advertisement. They made a calculated move. Don't assume that you're smarter or that these corporation are stupid just because it doesn't make immediate sense to you. A business board should understand this the most. Seems like /pol/ has really taken this place over and people here really care more about ideology instead of business. There's no room for your feelings when it comes to business.
>>12479555I’d expect anti facist to be on the wrong side of this war but i did not know it was kurds bad
>>12476815They have everyone talking about their brand don’t they? Is this what they wanted??
>>12476815The only companies that do this are companies that have market domination, they know their customers will be mad and most will still buy their products.As to why they do it? Really simple, stocks and share prices. Many of the journalists and analysts at the FT or whatever are far left, doing this guarantees they will write puff pieces on your companies and advise people to invest in your company.This is why hollywood and computer game companies do shit like this too. Because people who want to buy shares in either of these things read the game and movie press, which are all dominated by the far left.It all boils down to stocks and shares, it's almost always companies that are floated doing this shit
>>12482436It's also worth pointing out that the mother brand (proctor and gamble) would be more than willing to throw the gillette brand under the bus to see gains on the mother company.

>>12482995Kurds are getting destroyed by the notoriously shit Arab armies, turns out you need more than light infantry against a force that isn't solely made up of suicide guerillas.
>>12476824This. Do you think they don't do market research? They probably figured that women were doing groceries shopping and buying men products for their husbands and tried to improve their brand for them.Or maybe the men actually don't give a fuck. I mean who cares. Yes, they are cucks. Yes, they suck. Yes, they contribute to making prejudiced towards men but literally who cares.
>>12482955>>Random ad:>>"Dude, be a better person, there are psychos out there and we need to call them out whenever we can to protect others!">>Incel retards>>"Did they just call ALL MEN RAPISTS??? Never shaving my neckbeard with their razors again!!"Actually the argument is that its fucked up to say all men are collectively responsible for the behaviors of all men. Here let me explain it for you fucking retards in a way that might make sense if you ever decided to have an individual thought in your meaningless minds in the near to far future when you wake up from your fucking mental retardation fever dreams and pretend you "never actually believed any of that shit hahaha"Is it ok to say> All black people are collectively responsible for the behaviors of all black people?> All women are collectively responsible for the behaviors of all women?> All jews are collectively responsible for the behaviors of all jews?> All muslims are collectively responsible for the behaviors of all muslims?Oh I guess maybe it starts to make sense. In before> Muh white people are responsible for more problems than other races so its ok to blame white males.I highly suggest if you abide by this logic to basically drink bleach. I know you fuckers are on damage control because of this and maybe the ad was just meant to stir the pot. Logically speaking you dont have a moral high ground when you make a statement claiming that all of X race or gender is responsible to hold all of X race or genders actions. Once you do that you out yourself as suffering from insane degrees of cognitive dissonance to a point where it is genuinely not even an ad hom to point out that maybe you are retarded.Welcome to being eternally wrong mother fuckers.
>>12476859/thread
>>12476859The shills in this thread are also being paid to keep things moving. Its not even a fucking debate. Its extremely fucking obvious this is a forced meme.
>>12483272>all men are collectively responsibleThe ad didn't even remotely imply that, but they must have hit a nerve with you specifically if you're this triggered by an ad suggesting to be a better person

>>12483387DID YOU WATCH THE FUCKING AD YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING MORON!!!!!!
>>12483387What the fuck do you think the part that says WORD FOR FUCKING WORD"All men need to be held accountable"WHAT DO YOU FUCKING THINK THAT MEANS IN THIS CONTEXT?Get the fuck out of this thread you dishonest pile of fucking shit.
>>12476824this. I haven't watched an ad in years, but because of the ruckus the name "Gillette" is on everyone's minds. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BAD PUBLICITYI AM GOING TO MARKET LINK AS A RAPE PREVENTION TECHNOLOGY
>>12483402>>12483416>>12483432Yeah after these posts you are probably fucking rapist weirdo. Learn to chill. By the way this board has IDs, just saying.
>>12483436>I AM GOING TO MARKET LINK AS A RAPE PREVENTION TECHNOLOGYNothing contriversial about that.What you should do is make a LINK ad that says "Buy LINK, because all Muslims should be held accountable."Come on Muslims be better people.

>>12483448>Yeah after these posts you are probably fucking rapist weirdo.You are wrong and you are trolling its obvious. Honestly the truth is that people who throw these kinds of accusations tend to be the rapist weirdos. Why else would you be trying to project so much?> Learn to chill.Retards like you. Potentially rapist weirdos who out themselves. Dont exactly have a calming nature to them.> By the way this board has IDs, just saying.Yeah you should probably be doxed. It may save someone from getting raped. I mean as you say, all men should be held accountable right?So according to your logic we are all responsible to now dox you. You mentioned the word rape out of the blue. A bit suspicious anon.

It does help that nobody would actually be that retarded. kekHonestly I don't think this will be a good ad for them long term especially as the commercial gets memed. All you need for this meme to take off is "All X should be held accountable" with someones face. Then put Gillette logo.
>>12481872>>12477568you guys are addressing the wrong issue, which is actually that women can support themselves as single moms via the welfare daddy state, which gives them free food and education (read: childcare).

Companies can make bad choices under perfect capitalism. It’s just that they shouldn’t be able to do it indefinitely if it actually hurts their bottom line. What other anons have said is true it’s probably due some onions betas working their way up the food chain. They think it’s normal but what they don’t do is shave because they are hairless. This for them is a means to spread their ignorance not to sell more razors. Gillette could go out of business they don’t care and won’t until it affects them. Pretty much explained in atlas shrugged. They will cannibalize us, each other and then themselves until that last second before horror strikes. By then it’s beyond too late. > Gillette the worst a man can get
>make fun of soi boys for having beards>Shaving company sells you outAre you ready to stop shaving and take the soi pill?
>>12482811>puma>adidasYou realize they both pursued Kapernick for similar reasons>>12481449How did Nike do after making Kapernick the face of their company?
>>12476815I'm going to never shave again. Fuck Gillette. I told all my friends on Facebook about it too. We have the presidenxy and the courts now. It's time to fight back.
This ad was by a woman and for women.You fucks are outraged because you probably are single and buy your own razors.This is virtue signalling to the women that purchase razors for their husbands.It's advertising. SJW shit will automatically generate buzz online.
Where the fuck did these newfags come from that bitch about /pol/ bleeding into other boards. Go back to fucking reddit for fucks sake. There's literally nothing wrong with overlap topics
>>12484892More that the only people who will like this are soi boi faggots, who have big bushy beards and don't shave... lol.
>>12485781This four Chan has always been about activism. That's why we got rid of Moot.
>>12485793>we got rid of Moot.He cucked out and many anons left for cripplechan
>>12480053That's not how it works, the opposite even. They have not made any loyal customers with this ad. In the best case it will be as effective as any other ad in terms of giving some people generally positive feelings towards the brand. On the other hand there are people that will not forgive them. People don't have problems remembering grudges, they have problems letting them go. People will even hurt themselves to fuck you over if they think you've wronged them. And when there's ten brands to choose from it doesn't even hurt you to automatically disqualify one, it actually makes life easier.The only reason you think it doesn't work like this is because when leftists "disavow" something they don't actually have any real conviction, they're literally just virtue signalling.
>>12481616This is so transparent. Just kys.
>>12485781>too much of a fucking newfag to remember /pol/tards were always despised, that's why a containment board was created, so we wouldn't have to put up with their autistic screeching
>>12484496Yep, no such thing as bad publicity. That's why smart airliners drop a plane into the ocean every now and then. Creates a bit of a buzz, you know?
>>12486272>ten brands to chose from>all owned and manufactured by Proctor & Gamblebranding is the illusion of choice
