Political correctness in TV ads

[SAFCOldie]

I just assume that everyone who isn’t bame or woke is gammon by default.

It's the way they like it, shame they don't realise alienating all these types has a response in elections etc.

Nicely done.

Imagine being upset that black people are on tele

But no-one on this thread is upset

Ah the feminists ! Quite rightly abhor men telling women what they can do / wear / think.

So instead they tell women what they can do / wear / think.

******

I suggested to a feminist friend that if mysogany is classified as a hate crime then , equally , mis


There’s a lot at stake mate.

The liberal wokeys can be viscious if an individual or organisation doesn’t align with their agenda.

The bad press can be catastrophic.

Did your reply to me stop half way through or am I reading it wrong? Typical idiotic white male

I am and I'm so offended right now.

It's all just a bit fake isn't it really? Like I'm meant to believe some multi million or billion pound company gives a shit. If it was 50 years ago they'd be hammering black people if they felt it would up their revenues.

Adverts in general piss me off though, cant remember the last time I watched normal tele.

Yeah I agree.
Everyone should be represented and be treated fairly but shoehorning people in imo is actually more insulting.

It's fine to depict men as idiots and bad parents for some reason. Not sure why.

I think the thing is that this is what they think will sell the product. And if it didn't they would do something else, as basically that's the primary aim of advertising.

You’ve lost the argument right there.

The British Gas one where the black engineer fixes the heating for the gay couple. Covers a few bases.

Typical old fart

Adverts are there to sell stuff, nothing more, nothing less. If brands think they can appeal to a target demographic by casting someone different from the norm, that's what they'll do.
It's not about ticking boxes, or being PC, it's about making money.

Mind, I'd happily boot my telly off the stand if I ever have to suffer another poet on a Nationwide advert.

Nah, it's all about ticking boxes.the majority of people in the UK are still white and British if you go off ethnicity bandings. It's all about ticking boxes and being PC.

Can't be true. I heard this country hated women

In the spirit of gender equality , I also googled “ happy white man”.

Let’s just say the theme was singular rather than plural.

 

[vinegar hill]

Definitely, we need more of this.

So adverts aren't about selling stuff? Peculiar that companies spend so much on it.

 

[ajthemackem]

Someone's mixing up 'political correctness' with 'inclusivity'.

Exactly. Cynical manipulation.

(I used to be involved in the business, so I should know...... )

 

[JAZZMANB]

Way way over the top and just makes a mockery of genuine attempts to incorporate everyone into the norm.

 

[Hep]

I hear more people complaining about other people being offended at adverts than I do the people who are offended.

Do all you gammons sit all-day long googling for stuff to be outraged about?
