Gosh this is making some people terribly angry

YouWhatLove · 13/05/2022 11:06

Where is this image from? I’ve searched for it and can’t seem to find it. Agree that it’s absolutely grim though.

YouWhatLove · 13/05/2022 11:07

@Clymene men dressing up as sexualised versions little girls does tend to make people angry/ disgusted.

honeybushbunch · 13/05/2022 11:07

Just when I started to forget the images featuring the bloke wearing fishnets on his bed advertising his OnlyFans, and started thinking I ought to get some shorts for the summer chub rub — comes along yet another image from Snag to remind me why I don’t feel like buying from brands that normalise “kink” and men’s sexual fetishes.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 13/05/2022 11:07

Some of you need to get a grip

You first. People are allowed to comment that a given commercial advertising campaign is creepy as all fuck. It's not aimed at anyone here, so not sure why people are so defensive. People don't have to like Snag tights.

I think it's from Grotbags.

The My Little Pony stuff is linked to paedophilia, no matter how much people try to play it down. You need to get onto 4Chan to see just how far this goes 😣

I'll never buy their shitty tights again. I hope they go out of business. I hate paedophiles and misogynistic fetishism.

I meant people objecting to women finding this distasteful.

bellinisurge · 13/05/2022 11:08

Liking unicorns etc does not make you a paedophile. But the way it's presented here is the modern day equivalent of "would you like to see my puppies in my van"

I think @Clymene is commenting on the defensive comments from the Snag fan club.

I don’t assume the bloke is trans. I assume the marketing is meant to celebrate autogynephilia and paedophilia. And that is something I am happy to be “phobic” about.

I concur.

Really makes me not want to buy these tights.

Butteryflakycrust83 · 13/05/2022 11:09

Are we going to call the women dressed up in the My Little Pony tights Peados as well, or is it just the men?

YouWhatLove · 13/05/2022 11:10

Apologies @Clymene i misunderstood

Rainbowshit · 13/05/2022 11:10

Eww that is really creepy. Was just about to buy new tights for DD for school, this has really put me off repurchasing snag tights for her.

GroggyLegs · 13/05/2022 11:11

Snag are fully submerged in identity guff.

A glance at their insta is full of genderfluid non-binary pan ace fem/masc demi boys 'rejecting the confines of gender' while cramming themselves into 24 brightly-coloured labelled boxes.

Whatever, I yawn past that navel gazing bollocks. But yeah, celebrating AGP and drag puts me right off.

Who called men wearing My Little Pony tights paedos?
People are just pointing out that this particular advertising image is deliberately aimed at a particular market… it’s fetishisation.
I work in marketing. Snag know exactly what they’re doing with this imagery. If you think they’re aiming it at people who like to collect the odd Care Bear, you are naive (at best).

bellinisurge · 13/05/2022 11:12

If you can't see the difference between women having a laugh and wearing my little pony tights and men tucking their dick into my little pony tights while dressing up like some distorted version of a toddler, then the problem is with you.

WTF is a peado? 😂 At least get the language right.

I wasn’t before but I am now !

I hope women boycott them

I've blocked them on all my social media. No thanks!

No one has called anyone a 'peado' [sic].

There is a distinction between accusing individuals of being child molesters, and criticising a company for choosing to market its products with paraphiliac and child-fetishistic imagery.

Many of us believe that to be a bad thing. You, on the other hand, like it and have decided to buy more of their products as a direct result of their use of paraphiliac imagery.

Each to their own.

WandaWomblesaurus · 13/05/2022 11:14

Wait it's an advert for snag tights? I thought it was the cover of The Guardian!?

SaskiaRembrandt · 13/05/2022 11:14

CorpseReviver · 13/05/2022 10:59

I wonder what other things work on @Butteryflakycrust83

"A dog turd on the pavement? That reminds me, I must call my boyfriend."

"Temporary traffic lights? Oh yes, we've run out of Daktarin."

"Oh, I see they are considering reintroducing wolves into the wild. Good thing I saw that or I'd totally have forgotten the loo roll."

Off topic - but I do hope they reintroduce wolves. I love that idea.

And thinking about it is so much more edifying than creepy John Wayne Gacey-esque adult toddlers.

SolasAnla · 13/05/2022 11:15

OvOvO · 13/05/2022 10:37

Well they've scored a hit with this advert - no such thing as bad publicity.

Radion, good markering but never bought it because of the marketing🤷🏼‍♀️

PinkTonic · 13/05/2022 11:16

Mystery2345 · 13/05/2022 10:58

I thought SNAG were marketed at trans people? Like a special fit? Is this not the case?

They seemed to start off aimed at just fitting well for all shapes and sizes. Now they aim their advertising squarely at the fetish market. 🤢

JaneJeffer · 13/05/2022 11:17

It's like something from a horror film.
