Santy get a boyfriend...

It doesn't matter that he's not a real person - the whole magic of Christmas is about Santa Claus & Mrs. Claus. There is absolutely no need for some woke cretin to rewrite that to Santa Claus kissing some fella. It would be like someone rewriting a gay love story to include a female because **** that, the old ideas of homosexuality are so boring and this is how an established homosexual character should act if a woman approaches him...

There is nothing sexual about Christmas.

I just can't find humour in this kind of thing anymore. It's the kind of humour that's essentially laughing at people for getting upset at something that was purposefully designed to upset.

It's a woeful state of affairs that there's such underlying venom within so many people that is being fanned and enflamed by these companies. And I reckon the origin is the same as the result, it's antagonism for the sake of antagonism. A snowball effect.

Looking at the United States, I just don't want to live in such a wreck of a society as that where everyone is at each other's necks and everyone is a policeman with a phone looking for outrage.

This ad is a great example of how those eejits over there got to where they are. It's not harmless and it's not funny. Nobody likes to be po-faced, but it's time people started saying "f off" to these bloody companies and advertisers trying their best to stir up trouble.

Okay point taken, but here's the thing. Society progresses by inclusion, that's how it's always been. As social thinking has advanced over the years a key part of this has always been to include those groups with 'less' representation. Yes, it can and will antagonize some folks, and that's normal.

Personally, I will sit back and watch at those people who are bothered and offended by the idea that Santa could have a boyfriend. It is funny to me that somebody can be so small minded and so set in their ways that the hint of Santa, who is again not real, and his legend roots are from **** Turkey and not Lapland can actually be upset by an ad for a postal service.

So I initially was watching the ad and not liking it because I just wasn't relating to the boyfriend guy, just found him a bit old and a bit of a dead fish/cold. I wasn't relating to Santa either because I was just looking at him and thinking, god you just look so "old"

But my God, as the ad went on.... Sniffle. It was heartwarming! Everyone deserves love! I don't care how old you are. I don't care if you are a guy and a girl. two fellas, two girls whatever. I thought it was a lovely ad

So so sick of Santy being portrayed as male!!!! Clearly "they" are non-binary.

And if what is shown in this ad is true I don't want him coming down my chimney and emptying his sack on Christmas eve!!!!

On a serious note..... if we are going to constantly rewrite tradition and well-established lore to fit the gay/transgender/whatever you're having yourself narrative then the world is rightly fooked.

And before you start I have many gay friends who hate the sort of shoite this ad spins

Oh yeah, there's nothing controversial about portraying santa clause, perhaps the least sexualized person you could pick, as a sexualized figure in an ad.

They really just wanted to put out the innocent story that everyone wanted to hear about where santa puts his dick. That's all! They wouldn't have dreamt that it would stir up clicks and controversy, little innocent pukes that they are.

Come off it, will you.

But something something bigots, something something funny, something something whatever. Yeah, right, that's the problem.

Im always amused by the people who hide behind "think of the children" excuses.

I wish they'd just be honest and admit they find gay, trans people etc icky.

I mean, whats the difference between a man and woman kissing and two guys/girls ?

Its just their own prejudices and insecurities at play imo
