Well done!
Haha.. I wouldn't say 'fun'...
personally, it is my view that women are inherently more social and like having the numbers in any sitch....
j/k
It's such a funny poster.. they couldn't have done it better even if they'd actually tried.
Boycotts of merchandise is anti-capitalism. Political speech intended to suppress capitalism. Communalism in action.
If it is consumers, and not government, then it's not political.
It's so amusing to see people rushing to claim that the freely chosen actions of corporations responding to customer input is somehow not capitalism. It makes one think that they don't really like capitalism at all.
ah.... once again.... I hardly know when it's splitting hairs or some fundamentally significant fulcrum of philosophy.
do you really think people are not politically-motivated when.... oh.... boycotting a corporation has come down on the wrong side of some political issue? Is a "bad actor" environmentally? Is supplying the slaves to the West Indies (a la "no sugar in my tea")?
I'll agree with you if the people are motivated by price or other economic considerations.
But if it's AGW, globalism, or LGBT, say, I think it's political.
Lessee, what was it here?
overt sexism/Political correctness.
Politics is about government. If the government is not involved, not even indirectly, it's not politics. So, consumers choosing to boycott a company for donating to the American Nazi party would be politically motivated, but boycotting over the message on pajamas is not.
You do realize no one boycotts over 'political correctness', because that is a slur term (otherwise meaningless) used against protests, not something people actually are in favor of?
Of course, you are allowed to think of anything as political if you so choose. Humpty Dumpty is always your friend.
It might be a bit different in the fear / litigious society we seem to be right now, where it's like piranha's jumping on the next big offender, to destroy. Nobody wants to draw attention to themselves in any way because it means death to their income and a huge spotlight and change to their lives... whether deserved or not. It goes beyond accountability right now imo, it's more like "search and destroy" and apologize... maybe... later if we were wrong to do that.
That's a bit beyond the simple boycott it used to be, it's fear.
I get that it can be good and needs to happen in many cases where some super messed up stuff is going on and there needs to be accountability and destruction. I'm just saying that in the frenzy, there may be innocents that get wrecked along the way and nobody wants to be that person. It's not just the guilty running from sharknado. I'd pull something off the shelves immediately too.
I guess my point, if there is one, is that's it's not the straight up capitalism of yesteryear.
