Adverts that make you not buy something
Discussion
Anything overtly woke for the sake of being woke.
Like the John Lewis advert with couple buying a bed with their dog in the shop.
1. I don't think dogs are allowed in John Lewis unless a service dog.
2. She's a fat ginger and he's a Muslim gentlemen.
Now I have nothing against fat people, gingers or Muslims but it seems an unlikely match to me based on my experience in life thus far. Also in my experience Muslims don't seem to keep dogs as pets very often, certainly not ones that get in bed with them.
If diversity is the goal then why not have a Muslim couple, or two fat ginger women or any other combination of likely matches.

"Body positivity".In a similar vein, surprisingly overweight ice skaters\ballerinas\gymnasts\etc. Like they've ever done anything more athletic than queue at Greggs.

1. Dogs are allowed in John Lewis shops as long as they are on leads. I think they’re only banned from their cafe/restaurants. This is certainly the case for the huge John Lewis store in Exeter.Like the John Lewis advert with couple buying a bed with their dog in the shop.

I go out of my way to avoid adverts as much as possible to the point of not watching certain channels but I don’t always get to decide.
Ads that have put me off a potential purchase as opposed to ones where they just confirm I’d never buy it anyway … any that try to curate an image including quite a few car ones. Posh people in cars (yes I’m going back to 80’s Vw ads when I was far too young to buy a car but so what, I still remember
).
More recently and continuing my dislike of lifestyle branding every aftershave ad under the sun.
I never notice wokery unless it’s ridiculously overt, typically where I see it it’s some family product ad or a loan offering one that won’t register with me anyway.

The arm pit deodorant adverts. It was one thing seeing a perfectly manicured pit having sure or dove applied, now it’s a blotchy, hairy, sweaty, fat blobby pit it’s gross. I think we all know that some things shown on advertising are not real, but I would rather see an idolised version than a gross version.

You were going to buy an EE phone but you decided not to because their advert had a diverse family in it?
Thats the snowflake generation for you, I guess?You were going to buy an EE phone but you decided not to because their advert had a diverse family in it?
Hate ads. Think people who get annoyed about woke need to get a life and put the phone down. But they're seeping into everywhere online.
