Serious talk -

how many commercials didn't make you feel like you, as a male, were responsible for something awful?

You'll have to explain the joke to me.

And I doubt 'lighten up' would fly in the face of offense at the reverse of that joke. I don't think anyone is going to lose sleep over this. It's just fun to point out the hypocrisy.

The point was that when you hear a joke from a comedian and jump to "Guys, this country hates us", that you are taking things way to seriously.

The whole SJW/anti-SJW situation can be summed up by both sides looking at the same ink blot and drawing the complete left and right conclusions from it. When in reality, its just a fucking ink blot.

So if you do find yourself drawing extreme conclusions from an ink blot, it's time to lighten up.

Maybe I'm going too far with that, but I think it definitely says a lot when a commercial is cleared that says "Sorry, it's a boy" as a child is handed to her unborn mother.

I can imagine a situation where they are going over the script and the original line was "Sorry, it's a girl". I can imagine some exec, who is most likely a dude, say something along the lines of "Feminists will lose their shit, no one wants to hear the crazy cat ladys bitch any more, just change it to 'Sorry, it's a boy' and run it."

Not a conspiracy or a feminist push or a raging case of hypocrisy, just a way of not having to deal with crazy cat ladys. I would have said the same thing.

While there are some outraged on the twittersphere, the common sentiment is: if the roles were reversed, there would be massive outrage. I'm sure everyone here would agree that is the line were with the female sex, we'd be treated with tons of articles on muh-soggy-knee in mass media. The hypocrisy is more to be outraged about, not the content.

What's up with the bitching?

Just fucking around, I really don't give a shit about what others think, I live my life my way (at least the best I can).

I won't lose sleep over these commercials.

I just thought it was a chance to make a joke. And I always take those shots.

Quote:

Silverman became a vegetarian at the age of ten.[58] She has also said that she does not drink alcohol because it nauseates her. Silverman is open about her lifelong battle with clinical depression, which at one point led to her developing an addiction to Xanax. She credited her subsequent emotional health to taking the prescription drug Zoloft.[19][59][60] She struggled with bedwetting from the time she was young until well into her teens and stated in a 2007 interview that she had wet the bed recently.[61] Her autobiography, published in April 2010, entitled The Bedwetter, explores the subject, among others. She has stated she does not want to get married until same-sex couples are able to.[62] She stated she does not want to have biological children to avoid the risk that they might inherit her depression.[63] Silverman's biological sister Laura played her sister on The Sarah Silverman Program.

This is the person you guys are getting upset over?

That Nissan ad that introduced their LMP1 racer and the next Maxima was an unapologetic pro masculinity, pro patriarchy spot:

Guys. How can you criticize feminists for getting offended over everything, and then turn around and be butthurt by this shit?

Take the fucking high road instead of stooping to their pathetic level, laugh it off, and then point out that while they would throw a hissy fit over something similar directed at them, we don't give a fuck because we have real shit to deal with.

[NilNisiOptimum]

Am I the only one who heard "Sorry, (I'm too busy trying to one up my friend because I'm a huge attention whore to tell you) it's a boy."

Instead of "Sorry, it's a boy (because patriarchy)."

On further watches, I think it could be either. If I was wrong in the interpretation, at least I'm not the only one.

[Foolsgo1d]

Pretty sure you guys have it wrong.

Its "sorry, its a boy". Referring to her speaking on the phone when delivering a baby and apologising for her ignorance.

N/M got the wrong thread.

My guess is it isn't the content of the ad per say, but the hypocrisy.

It would be liking hanging around someone who constantly make jokes at your expense, which they expect you to always shrug off, but as soon as it's reversed and you make a joke at their expense they fly into a rage.

Yeah I think this is how it was intended, I didn't sense any misandrist malice in the ad at all.


The "like a girl" ad was nauseating though.


Last night at the party even my regular friends who, to my knowledge, do no read any redpill stuff were saying things like "everything is about women in our society"and rolling their eyes/making fun of at the ads.

I think we've really hit peak feminism, guys. Regular people are getting turned off by it instead of just passively soaking it in as in the past.

[Cobra]

Man, the downside to some of you gents buying into the red pill is how much weight you put on irrelevant stuff like this.

There is another downside. If we think too much about this crap, it does direct damage to our actual social skills. Another words, we're no different from the SJWs and feminists that do similar shit.

Look at the following twitter hashtags (google them)...

#likeagirl
#sorryitsaboy

And you will see a huge backlash growing. #likeagirl has been turned into women screaming at men trolling their hashtag.

Then look at T-Mobile's facebook page. They have this ad posted and the responses are excellent.

People are sick of the anti-male shit, the liberals need to destroy the middle class FAST or they will lose their handle on federal elections.

[WanderingSoul]

The only thing that stood out to me in the commercial was just that it's not funny. I think it's just a pretty dull commercial overall. The NFL is slacking if they let ads like this air during the Super Bowl. It's known for having the best commercials all year long. It's an event in itself. They are fucking things up by allowing dull commercials to air. Save that shit for when the 49ers play.

[Libertas]

I echo the sentiment of many in this thread. Sometimes a lot of the good folks on here are just way too eager to be the victim. One of the reasons I'm here is because we reject victimhood narratives for the most part.

Part of me thinks shit like this is demonstrative of just how deeply embedded the culture of victimhood is in western society, that even red pillers are unconsciously buying into it. I'm no exception. You really need to train yourself sometimes.

That's pretty much it, but honestly it's not even worth the energy for that. Just mock it and move on. Turn it into an object of humor.

This is an example of spatial dominance in action. Let's not get offended, but let's get in on this. Like I said in my latest ROK article, if we want to fight back against this leftist SJW insanity we're going to need to start dominating space and engaging in area denial tactics against the enemy.

[BadgerHut]

Not too ripped up about the ad (Silverman has no talent) but I also am seeing a sort of simmering backlash in society, even in mainstream media websites there's a huge infusion of red-pill/anti-feminist sentiment, far more than could be from straight Manosphere readers. I smile every time I see it.

[EuphoricWizard]

Been looking at the comments and without fail every single time. The people who like it are either obese women, lesbians, or men who ooze beta.

[Mr. Wolf]

I was neither surprised, nor offended. I laughed because it's so ridiculous, just like everything else in the ad. So I have no beef with it.

But the real surprise for me this year was how many depressing ads there were that actually tried to shame the male audience. The "Like a Girl" ad was the worst of it, with the domestic violence ads right behind it. The game was very good this year, but 95% of the ads just completely sucked. And WTF was that Camry ad with the father crying? That's just such a weird way to try to sell a bland but reliable transportation appliance. There were so many ads promoting lame-ass NBC shows, or movies. I wonder if they had trouble selling ad slots or something? There were only a handful of really enjoyable ads, when it used to be that there were many more.

That was Sarah Silverman, a well known female comedian. She is probably more masculine and red pill than half the dudes on RVF.

Sometimes she takes it way too far. Ranting on about your bodily functions isn't funny, it's sick. Sarah must of went to the Carlos Mencia school of comedy where you just say something obnoxious and see what sticks to the wall. She was on a few episodes of "The League" where she dressed up as a sexy sex-ed instructor. I was surprised to see her not being her usual disgusting self.
