Santy get a boyfriend...

The issue isn’t whether it’s homophobic or not. I’ve no idea about your motivations, not do I care. The thing I’m highlighting is people pretending that their true concern is kids or the preservation of sacred cultural icons when it really isn’t. They’ve ended up in a really bizarre position as a result of their mental gymnastics.

The “I’ve no problem with men kissing, but children shouldn’t be exposed to it and have their innocent shattered and Santa debased and sexualised and this agenda shoved down our throats and a million years of heterosexual Santa Claus complete erased in one fell swoop by this agenda-driven act that I’m of course not repulsed by in any way, but, you know, it’s the kids I’m concerned about.” people.

Just a little honesty would go a long way. Or a little self-awareness.

You find certain people kissing to be icky, then fine. But I assume you don’t think that such kisses shouldn’t be represented just because you find them icky?

Anybody who thinks that advertising companies, of all people, are now doing this seemingly altruistic advertising in order to be more 'tolerant' and 'inclusive' to those in a minority group, don't know the realms of the advertising world. These people are scum, absolute scum. They feed off scandal, notoriety and conflict. All in order to make a name for themselves, and ultimately more greasy money.

No, they do it to generate more clicks and more talk, which is exactly what is happening here. That is the math that they ultimately want, it has nothing to do with inclusivity. They use people to generate notoriety, and in this case they are using members of the Gay community to generate notoriety. They don't care about anybody save only their own and potential shareholders. Members of the actual Gay and Lesbian community have cottoned on to this a long time ago. I know that they have because I have friends within that community. This sort of disingenuous propaganda does the genuine community no service whatsoever. But the advertising companies know this, and they also don't care. Sorry now, but I'm not 'seething' about it whatsoever. I just know how these shysters work because I used to work in that $hitpile myself for a while, until I got sense.

But that is exactly it, it suits them to appear 'inclusive' in order to make more money. They don't give a rats arse about actually being inclusive or helping anybody in the fake vein they throw out with these things. And everybody knows it, so ergo, it ends up causing more division and ultimate damage.

No, I didn't say that. They use both portrayals to make money. Just like they don't believe in 'Santa', they don't actually believe in 'inclusivity' either, but they will disgracefully use these two things in order to ultimately make more money for themselves. Its the usury I have a problem with, not anything else.

i'm just thankful that you were able to lift the veil of secrecy surrounding advertising.

in other news, water is wet.

welcome to capitalism

I'm lifting no veil. In the actual world, the vast majority knows their disingenuity.

Hence, the reason nobody watches them anymore.

Hence, the reason for ridiculous stunts.

No Need to welcome me to capitalism, as I said, I left that $hitpile a long long time ago

"Hence, the reason nobody watches them anymore."

except some outraged, triggered conservative types it seems

Yeah, and that's exactly what they want. And this is what is happening. You are proving my point and you aren't even aware of the fact Star.

This is the bamboozlement and Division they generate and feed off, all in order to make more money, not more inclusivity.

Well if they suddenly have discovered the way to making money is by being 'inclusive' then why don't they make some other advertising propaganda that would be actually inclusive? How about making adverts that would help the homeless? The poor? Maybe an advert that would tax the multi-trillion corporations that pay little to no income tax? That sort of advertising would hugely resonate with 'regular people' wouldn't it? It definitely would with me and everyone I know in the real world, so why do they not tap into that realm of inclusivity? A real world of inclusivity that would benefit all.

Don't bother answering if you don't want to, because I know the reason anyways, and so do you.
