Author Topic: adidas campaigns "Create Positivity", immediately backfires  (Read 43588 times)

im personally a bit native american and i've uncommonly seen people call native americans indians

and even so i don't really care



i personally don't see much wrong with the video, at least message and video wise it wasn't pepsi ad levels of obnoxious

I thought it was a ridiculous thing to complain about it until I thought about it harder and honestly it's just downright weird that people still call Native Americans Indians. It's even stranger that this misnaming thing stretched as far as my home state being named Indiana. What was to be a nod towards Native American heritage ended up being related to India thru name.

Indiana? Isn't bollywood over there???

it is weird, i will admit, but it is how it is i guess. i recall the history of it being it's shorter but that's all i know about it.

i don't speak for everyone native american however, i'm just saying i'm not offended, especially looking at a team that call themselves redskins or indians.  and i don't really think a level-headed native american blood could be easily offended too, unless if you generate it into a nasty slur. i am white so this doesn't matter to me.



They'd do better if they had a guy squatting for like 10 minutes.

i didn't, tactical nuke did. go talk to him about your source elitism

the poll was from the Washington Post, I can't find it on their website but you probably can

this was the article I found it from, which was painful to read because the author is such a loving arrogant cunt

I feel like 'virtue signalling' is a new excuse for crybabies to complain about content with a different opinion than them. Funny cause this is the party that hates Tumblr for doing the same thing

we don't hate people having different opinions you jackass, we hate people undeservedly going "hey hey look at me aren't I such a great person I painted Arabic on my face and changed my team name because some guilty whites were sad"

Virtue signalling has been around since moral busybodies. The evangelist moral busybodies did it when it came to gay marriage and other things they found morally objectionable. Kim Davis is a fine example of this. "LOOK AT HOW VIRTUOUS I AM BY REFUSING THIS GAY COUPLE'S RIGHT TO MARRY. LOOK AT ME MY FELLOW DEVOUT CHRISTIANS". Then other virtue signallers rally under her and go "YES WE SEE YOU WE ARE ALSO VIRTUOUS!!!!" It is no different than this video and others like it where people basically circlejerk under their misguided notions of moral superiority.
It's especially annoying in cases like this because we don't need to be reminded refugees are human beings. Literally no one is arguing that they're not human beings. People who make videos like this seem to think showing us some sympathetic stories from refugees and illegals is gonna change people's minds. As if we don't already know there's people out there like that. It's basically just an attempt to guilt trip people into falling in line. It's a bunch of bullstuff.

And anyway, ADIDAS owns sweatshops in these thirdworld countries. They're the last loving company that gets to virtue signal. In fact, that's another reason why virtue signalling is such bullstuff. It's loving hypocritical. These people who virtue signal do it to cover their own asses. They know damn well they have no right to try to police the morals of other people when they're doing some forgeted up stuff, but because the left is currently easily swayed through virtue signalling, getting brownie points for being diverse, inclusive, or whatever is easy as forget. It is BUUUUUUUUUUUULLstuff

This is completely true. I never said "There's no such thing as virtue signalling," I was trying to say that the worst has been so overused (especially when it's not relevant) by (generally conservative) groups in recent times so it loses its meaning and becomes a buzzword, like 'cuck' 'beta' 'kiddo', ect.

It's especially annoying in cases like this because we don't need to be reminded refugees are human beings. Literally no one is arguing that they're not human beings.

This is completely untrue. There's loads of people at my school who think that refugees are largely evil Shariah-law loving creatures that want to force their way into America to bring the Caliphate into Oklahoma. They de-humanize and villianize these people to the point where they feel zero sympathy. Pointing out similarities between refugees and audience members will help them to sympathize with their position and put themselves in the refugee's shoes. I've seen this on a first-hand basis after my AP Human Geography class had to write our final essay over Syrian refugees. We got to watch a couple of documentaries (mostly non-biased) and the whole class felt symapthy for them by the end of it, when they may have only felt disgust earlier. Education is a death-blow to prejudice.

Yea, this is a good reason not to buy from stuffty companies like Adidas. I haven't been into a Walmart in more than ten years (is that virtue signalling?) because they're an abhorrent company and I'd rather just go somewhere else and pay a few more dollars. I just didn't see anything wrong with the vido and thought it was ridiculous that people are jumping up in arms about it.

'immediately backfires'

yes a bunch of internet teenagers that don't even play sports are angry that people are happy playing sports

It was, at one point, a legitimate description of how internet SJWs use 'call-outs' as a way to win brownie points with their friends. It's now been appropriated by internet conservatives who use it as a synonym for expressing any humanist opinion that doesn't come off like callous nihilism.

They probably don't even lift

blockland forums is a slightly more readable version of the youtube comments section. like a seemingly 1:1 replica.
