To hate when razor/hair removal ads

Pretend to care about personal choice re grooming? There’s always a montage of ‘whether you prefer to wax, shave, trim or have a huge bush we support you 🥰 ..... but we actually only sell razors (for example) so we’re only talking to those of you who shave’.

I find it so disingenuous. Stating the obvious that you should do with your body hair what you like while advertising removal. We know that we don’t have to shave. Just advertise the razor’s efficacy and go.

It does seem a bit odd now you put it like that

Late capitalism at its best 😜

“We are a feel good company and our ads sell you a positive progressive message which makes you feel good and ethical. Here’s a picture of an overweight woman next to a woman with a birthmark and a woman with hairy armpits, aren’t they all brave? Also, we sell plastic bits made in China by underpaid women, and charge more for the pink version of it. And 1p of every product sold goes to provide therapy to parent sloths suffering from gender disappointment upon the birth of their baby sloth. Here’s a picture of a happy sloth, isn’t she cute? Yay! Now please buy our crap.”
