AIBU to find HelloFresh's Pride post grim?

Polluted by something, alright.

It really isn't...another example of being polluted by prejudice...and obsessed by sex (that others may or may not be having)

Bloody hell im NEVER going back to hello fresh now.

I am as sure as I can be that I live my life in a tolerant and inclusive way.

But I find this unnecessarily crude. Fresh meals are great and I see no need for the gratuitous sex reference. Nothing to do with disliking gay men. It’s reducing them just to people who have anal sex. Not sure I would love that representation if I were gay.

It is an extreme version of me not liking say, people wearing microscopic swimwear in normal shops and restaurants during a heat wave for example. Or don’t snog on a packed tube train. It is about appropriateness of behaviour. Is that not ok to say that these days?

I think it is a real shame where if you want to uphold certain standards of decency and class, you are automatically labelled a bigot. I think we need to have better standards for ourselves as people, and not just aim for the lowest possible levels of behaviour.

Its only the sexual mind which views this advert which had no pictures this way..it was about eating more fibre ...it seems its what you bring to the advert here.

No outrage for sexual images of women selling absolutely everything?

Have you thought about watching TipToe OP?

I agree with you.

Nobody wants to know the nitty gritty details of other people's sex lives.
FGS stop bringing it to work/parading it on the streets/putting it into adverts for food.

Er no - some of us just like bran flakes.

Err.. it wasn't us who linked it to anal sex though, was it?

Brilliant! 👏😂

Really? You don't actually like bran - you only eat it to help you poo?

Even so, bran is only one specific foodstuff with a, ahem, specialist reputation... HF are trying to sell vegetables with the same justification, but surely they're a very normal, major staple of most people's everyday diet anyway?

Well I'm quite tolerant of heterosexuality until confronted by graphic detail of niche and often considered taboo acts, in a very unexpected place when thinking about what I am going to cook for dinner.

Seconded

Ludicrous comment. The majority of gay men don't even engage in anal sex anyway.

HTH.

I'd say those of us that eat bran flakes, all bran, anything at all that is high fibre do it deliberately for that reason. And totally unlinked to anal sex.

lol people are tolerant of homosexuality until confronted with the nitty gritty details!

Well said @BlueLegume I agree 100%.

@Shedmistress thank you. I completely agree. Queer theory is everywhere but disguised as ‘be kind’, be inclusive. Sadly many people frame the whole ‘be kind’ mantra as being progressive. It isn’t. It is about reframing society. Reframing our moral compasses to believe if we do not go along with it we are regressive bigots. We are not. We want women and men to have the right to privacy in single sex spaces. We want children to be safeguarded from information they do not need until it is appropriate to educate them into growing up. Endless progress flags and marches with people in fetish gear and furries is wholly inappropriate for children to see.

Every western culture has been infiltrated by the Trojan Horse of ‘be kind’. The reality is every institution has been captured. It is not a nice time to witness. There is nothing ‘kind’ about women losing rights to pander to men with fetish. Young women opting out of being women. History will not look back on this time well. Social contagion gone mad all in the frame of progression.

Unfortunately queer theory is all about facilitating the opportunity to 'explain' to kids who don't 'understand' which breaks down the norms. It is the feature not the bug.

I think it would be meaningless to young children.

But most of us don't solely choose to eat food with our primary motivation being the joy of eventually being able to poo it out.

Just like none of us get excited about the idea of having babies purely so that, in 80-100 years' time, they can have a lovely funeral.

I don’t like to think about food and poo at the same time though. Do you?
