AIBU to find HelloFresh's Pride post grim?

[OrientalBay]

Really Hello Fresh? Jumping on the Pride bandwagon and promoting your high fibre offering to gay men? Utterly grim.

I hadn’t seen this so I looked it up. Fantastic marketing, 10/10 from me. What don’t you like about it?

YANBU - it is truly disgusting.

Hilarious and relevant to pride, I don’t see the issue

You need to provide info if you’re gonna moan about something. Don’t make us look it up

Agree, grim.

Plus that first line, “we know eating might not be a priority this month” not so great for people struggling with ED

At least link to the thing you're complaining about. So lazy

I thought it was hilarious.

But I choose not to overthink humour, and I'm not out looking for things to be offended by.

Exactly, no idea where or when this has been posted and OP is weirdly either expecting everyone to go off looking or assuming we’ve all seen what on earth they’re talking about?

Nah, not going to look it up.
Post it here if you want us to have an opinion

What on earth are you talking about @OrientalBay

At least post a link so we know!

They are discussing how their high fibre food is going to give you a big shit so that you can be bummed. Isn't that pleasant. The world is going to hell in a handcart.

Hello Freshs SM post says:

“We know eating isn't always a top priority this month.
We respect that.
But for those of you who are... prepping... we have an extensive lineup of high-fiber recipes available.
Happy Pride”

It’s a reference to emptying the bowels in preparation for anal sex

Omg!!! That’s a bit below the belt (if you pardon the pun!).

Who cares? If it doesnt apply to you? Or you want high fibre for a health reason jump in.

Seriously only a mind wanting to be outraged or clutch pearls would latch on to that

I think that’s brilliant.

I wish companies would give as much oxygen to the women for whom Pride should be a celebration instead of it always being about the men. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a funny post.

Well, if they are talking about having anal sex, that's stupid anyway. You don't have to empty your bowel to have anal sex.

Daft. 🙄

Regardless of Pride, if you're promoting food I really don't want you to make me think of shit. Funnily enough it's a tad off-putting.

Ah well, if your product can't sell itself, trying desperately to "go viral" is probably not a bad way of getting clicks

I’d give them a massive swerve without even reading post that all of the meat they provide is halal so religiously slaughtered, for anyone using the food delivery brands gusto etc they all use RS meats. 🤮

Weird. It doesn't make sense anyway... Why wouldn't eating be a priority any more just because it's Pride month?

If that's real it's pretty awful tbh
Im not prudish, I'm not homophobic, I'm just disgusted by an unfunny joke.
And when young children see the ad?

Also their whole selling point is that it's food that's quick and easy to make when you're busy, so even if you were just having sex 18 hours a day because it's June, isn't that where Hello Fresh should shine on its supposed merits?

Repulsive.
How would you ever see a Hello Fresh box again without thinking of this too?

Pride just pushes and pushes.

Not resorting to the cliche ‘clutch pearls’ would be great.

Awful - why the fuck is that necessary to plaster over SM?
