Volkswagen Joins the Woke Marketing Train - #GamerGate is the best thing that ever happened to salty failed writers

[UnclePhil]

Good, now do a commercial where the guy leaves while the woman is enthralled by shopping bags full of shoes.

Or he fetches the last item while she is still talking ("Hey, hey, hey, hey...")

Damn y'all are really good at finding gamergate where it doesn't exist.

I don’t even see what GamerGate has to do with this commercial.

What's so bad about it?
The man being aloof and not doing shit until the very last minute are common jokes.

 

[UnclePhil]

Because "men and their vidya games that don't include me." The feminists who get hired to put these disasters together are the same ones quickest to bring up a hashtag from 4(?) years ago when they need oppression points.

Or it could be a coincidence that Jeff...failed miserably with his generic VR headset. But there's clearly a stereotype being alluded to here.

Might've made sense showing him as being a drunkard or an addict, but no, it's this pesky male-dominated hobby that makes him a loser that must be cut off from your life without even a goodbye. Because women hating video games is suddenly the norm again after the last decade of constant bickering that they desperately want in on it.

Fucking hell, only way it could've been a more depressing ad was if they'd had the final shot of him hanging from the ceiling.

 

[gobbogobb]

No you idiots she left him because instead of helping his girl unpack her shit like a goddamn adult he tarded out and played fucking vr like a child.

It's just a dumb ad trying to say "look how much shit you can fit in our van" with a little story to try and make you remember it.

If you think this is 'woke marketing' and an 'attack on men' you're basically just being an embarrassing triggered snowflake.

 

[Megaroad]

I'm more upset it doesn't show the woman driver crashing after immediately driving off like they usually do.

 

[Guts Gets Some]

Dammit, and I really love Volkswagen too...

 

[Keystone]

VR is more fun than VW anyway.

Well, the joke being common wouldn't mean that it's any less "woke"-bullshit, but in this case, it's not as stupid as with Gilette.

The difference, as far as I'm concerned, this video shows a failed relationship with a guy called Jeff apparently being the problem. Kinda stupid, since it indirectly glorifies the girl while it makes him the butt-end of the joke, but in contrast to the Gilette ad, it doesn't state something asinine as "All men are this retarded". I mean, in context of the ad itself, it's not a jab at masculinity or all men or anything, it's just a really lame twist that she's not moving in with someone, but rather moving out from Jeff's place.

Though maybe people that are called Jeff take offense, so what do you say, @Kiwi Jeff ?

I'm just going to say, I can kind of relate to being that comically unaware of things. What do you think @Fangsofjeff?

 

[Pozzingmyfilthyneghole]

I doubt that the woman bought the car or the furniture with her own money, but that’s just me.

 

[PoisonedBun]

What am I supposed to be getting mad over, exactly?
