Have I missed a thread on this?

Top surgery scars being celebrated as normal & cool. Apparently on before watershed.

MB is a seriously unpleasant human being.

Great lineup. Role models for women everywhere. Not.

tobee · 30/03/2023 17:44

Depressing isn't it? I think the advert should be banned.

Just saw it again. Just the top surgery scar bather in this shortened form.

Good that scar looks painful and puckered.

Estrid used to unashamedly market themselves to women, now can't even say the word. Sell outs in every sense!

Is this how it's going to be now on? Are images like this mainstream now? Surely not?

It's certainly nothing but a marketing ploy from Estrid as it's a complete turn around from the plain old woman-positive ethos they were pushing when I signed up a couple of years ago. Total queerwashing and completely phoney. They're expanding fast, and these campaigns are getting them the attention they're after. Commercialism at its most cynical.

Best thing to do is ignore. No publicity for an advert is death. No comments, no outrage.

Unfortunately celebrating top scars has been a thing for a while, even in chikdren's media and even on child characters.

It's very sad

Did Blue's Clues Pride Parade Feature a Beaver with 'Top Scars'?

Perhaps Blue can give us some clues to solve this one.

“We believe the bathroom can be a place for self-discovery and, whether you shave or not, having the right product and spaces for you is an essential part of any personal routine.”

What a horrible advert.

Justme56 · 31/03/2023 10:34

To be honest I have never heard of the brand. Having watched the advert I wouldn’t have known what they were advertising until the very end when the word razors came up.

It's very sad

Speechless at the “celebrating ‘top surgery’ scars” in a cartoon aimed at very young children.

DysonSpheres · 31/03/2023 10:42

I'm so glad I got rid of my TV.

The advert is just pushing queer theory. I didn't even realise it was about razors.

I don't even want to know what words you typed in to find that gif!

Allthegoodnamesarechosen · 31/03/2023 10:53

I’m not sure this is going to sell a whole load of womens razors to women.
