Minus the sensitivity watchdog groups, political correctness & cancelled culture. A simple, but interesting shaving cream ad. But how do you fight mainstream media now?

You seem angry?

You don't 'fight' it.
You realise that all the things you mentioned are actually folks speaking up about things that offend them.
You realise that people have been hurt for years and they have had enough.
You realise that if you are triggered by someone saying "please don't say hurtful things" then you are probably part of the problem.
You don't fight it. You learn empathy. You change.

There is no such thing as PC, cancel culture or anything else. It's just people who have had enough and are boycotting other people who are out-of-touch snowflakes. And because of this, the world is improving.

As an example, I am re-writing a lot of my sex education tools because of the word "woman". A lot of the education applies to some trans men too.

You can't fight change, you can adapt or be left behind.

You have a good point "Silver_Sea", but people don't like it well you tell them "what they can't do this, you can't say that, you can't watch this" & so on. People don't want politics & politicians telling them how to live there lives republican or democrats, red or blue, progressive or conservative. They want to make up there our minds, you have know your audience.

I'm merely making a point about "The Big Game" advertisements that use to be really fun to watch because it had sex appeal. A woman in bikini, a tight mini skirt, micro mini skirt, french maid costumes etc.is all about sex appeal. We can accept change yes I can on a lot of things & try to be very cautious about it, but have to be very careful you don't mess around with someone civil liberties. That's why society today is so messed up *excuse the pun*

Fun to watch if you're male, hetrosexual, and find those kinds of images sexy. Now I'm male and hetro but personally I think outfits like those are boring - my personal idea of sexy (well one of them) is a fit, athletic woman in skin-tight running pants, trainers, and a crop top, an athlete, not an ornament.

But more than that, events like the Super Bowl are watched by a far wider audience than just men who think bikinis are sexy, so it makes sense to make the (very expensive) ad slots appeal to as many people as possible. The purpose of advertising is to make sales, and if being more inclusive and less sexist gets more sales, that's where the advertisers will go.

Now I've not seen the Super Bowl ads, but the event, and its half-time show, does get reported on here. One of the sexiest mainstream images I can think of in recent years was the black female dancers for Beyonce's performance a few years back - those outfits were hot, and the fact that it was also about both black and female empowerment made it all the more attractive to me. The martch of equality and human rights *is* sexy. See attached pic for an example.


Progress is all about more people obtaining their civil liberties. The change your seeing is that now, everyone is being considered, where as if you go back a few decades, the only audience really being catered to was a fairly narrow subset of (mostly white) straight men.

This doesn't mean that anyone (well other than a few fringe idiots) is saying that you can't look at and like hot young women in bikinis or French maid outfits if that's your thing. But that kind of thing belongs more in adult productions, rather than the ad slots of a huge sporting event watched by millions, of all ages, genders, and sexualities.

They may not like being told it, but tough.

Politicians make laws, that IS telling us how to live our lives. It's basically their only job!

No one, NO ONE is messing around with civil liberties by telling someone they are being racist, misogynist, transphobic etc. If you are a weapons grade fucknugget then that's on you and folks can tell you as such. Asking people to stop is fine, forcing people to stop is not. No one is forcing anyone as the far right arsehats are still talking. Stopping things is basically the real of the far right, it's fascist. Just look at the CRT ban, reproduction rights etc.
Now, "cancel culture" as the numpties like calling it FEELS like stopping it, but that is just capitalism realising there is more money by advertising their virtue and not booking arseholes. And you are not going to say capitalism can't do that, are you? Force someone to book a racist comedian? but that would be against their rights and no longer a free market!

Society is not messed up, it is realising the mistakes of the past and trying to correct them.

Or to but it another way:
