If anything it definitely a bad advertisement. You're supposed to, you know, put the product in the ad...

Black Twitter needs to be suspended for a while.

sssssssssssss

I just wish it wasn?t to the point where we look at Monkeys and fckn Predators and have to defend ourselves.

Now the kid one, that?s a child, his parents should?ve been mindful.

But had an adult did that ad, I wouldn?t even bat an eye, you grown, you took the pic, all on you.

not "devastating". ddfdfdf

If I saw that on the train or something I wouldn't be offended or "devastated".

I would've disregarded it as a movie poster

at this point ad execs should just walk on eggshells
or hire a PC specialist for revisions

Wasn?t really mad about the h&m one tbh

Moreso offended that people actually cleared that knowing that there?d be backlash

When I think Predator I think sexy and edgy and dangerous

A bad boy

People need to stop trying to make everything negative

This is definitely problematic. In the 90s Blacks were called "superpredators".

It's kind of a throwback to that. Almost like a subliminal message within the advertising, especially with no shoe being shown.

I'm not here for it.

The H&M ad is problematic

But this is just silly
Title: Re: Are we mad about this too?
Post by: ya rock muh world. on January 09, 2018, 11:41:54 AM
its funny how some of us didnt have an issue with the H&M but saw it in this
and vice versa

it really does show that it's all about how you read into it

but am sorry..the H&M mess is just flat out to me.

like, there's no explaining or justifying it. it was poor judgement at the VERY least.

I actually understand the outrage. There are certain images and words and connections that can trigger certain feelings/emotions in a person. A black man and the word predator is one.

Would've made more sense throwing a well known gay man on there and labeling it predator since they love to call us pedophiles.
