Back when I actually dated I didn't mind a good dick pick, as long as the person sending it didn't expect anything more than a critique and rating on a 1-10 scale.
I fucking hate my cheating wife. She ruined our family and destroyed 4 lives. This just gave me a microdose of things we could have had together. Fuck.
This is actually a rather beautiful commercial, and all I wanted in life sadly... I am so glad I grew up before it was so easy to take dick pics.. (Though I did drop trow on webcam when a girl asked me, and store it hidden on my college website.. which was a dumb idea..)
This would be a fucking award thing to do. A lot of my female friends say they get so much of them that they avoid some social networks total. It is an epidemic of fragile masculinity.
I've sent one single dick pic in my life, it was a polaroid that I mailed and it was requested. It wasn't really a dick pic though as it included the rest of my naked self.
Which makes them solicited, which is perfectly fine. It's the unsolicited part that's the problem, really. There are 600 billion memes about how we can't read women's minds, so it's weird that this is the one place we try way too often. Royal "we" of course, I'm not sending no one nothing.
I volunteered at Childline and we had a folder of images of men called "Dick" and pictures of dikdiks and ducks and cats (pussies) and blue tits etc that we encouraged young people to send if they were every asked for those kind of pictures online. A lot of them found it really useful because straight up saying "no" made them feel uncomfortable or boring but being cheeky and mocking the people asking for them was much easier
You mean like the million and one youtube sponsorships manscaped does? They have a fuckload of ads about the product. This is more of a PSA to get ppl to stop sending unsolicited dick pics, that is still an ad so that they're known as a socially conscious company. Imagine a men's grooming company that was all andrew tate-y. You should want to not support them, but they might be your only option. But in comes manscaped showing that they're not. You might switch over
Or consider that nestle is a vile company, but with products that are cheap, frequently taste good, and they have huge market share. Many find it hard to boycott, or just go "well I can buy from them or another evil company." Now consider Newman's Own; all their profit goes to charity. If they didn't advertise that, you might not choose them over nestle products if you don't know that they're not a similarly vile company
A dick pick shows that the man is that, a dick. I can't imagine anyone starting a relationship off an unsolicited dick pick unless it was two men who both understand that lol
I did it once, as a funny joke, and I *DID* ask. For fun, I dressed my penis up with a pirate hat and eyepatch. Did not end up dating the woman, But she did steal my idea as a project for an art class with a dozen dressed up dicks.
Basic empathy covers a lot of awful shit people do. "Would you like a random picture of the genetalia of a man you barely know?" "NO!!! and I'd at least like to be asked first." "Well, there ya go sport."
They also sponsor a lot of YouTubers, and I’ve heard pleasant things about those interactions. Nice to see companies choose to advertise with people as well as the platform
If corporations are going to exist I'd rather them spend their advertising dollars on a positive message about a real issue — especially an issue they weren't responsible for creating in the first place (ie. We'd award no points to Nestle for making an ad about the importance of potable water in 3rd world countries)
I think having it be an Ad makes it more impactful, honestly. Imagine a government or private group put this out as a PSA? It would just be a drop in the bucket of noise. It being an Ad means that the company is promoting the associated culture, and tying it to something with intrinsic value (money). They are willing to share a positive message while using it to sell their product, and I think that's more impactful than some party with no skin in the game telling people how to be.
It's an ad for a company that sells a scrotum/bush/taint shaver. They are in the business of making people feel bad about themselves and their bodies in order to sell a product.
Alternatively: they're a company who KNOW that a decent subset of their target demographic are exactly the sort of people who will send unsolicited dick-pics. They're trying to kill three birds with one stone here: advertise their product, 'educate' their customers into behaving better, and build an air of good-will/camaraderie with the whole "we got you bro, here's how to do it properly" message in an attempt to gain brand-loyalty.
I get your point, and you are right by nearly all beauty products. This industry is responsible for many teen suicides. Buuut ... Trimming is a lifesaver on hot days and is a help by the hygiene. Ask your hairy friends :)
I am a hairy fucker and I am quite grateful that these terrible companies have invented ways to shave. Of course this makes me a slave to capitalism but at least I am a smooth slave.
I think it is rather neat that there are socially conscionable companies which are trying to teach some decent life lessons using their advertising dollars while trying to carve a piece of the market for themselves. Apart from that, I am still going to make my own analysis of product when purchasing or becoming a repeat user. Classic brands used by my father have turned out rather disappointing, got to give the young bloods a chance
Manscaped in particular tends to try and push more positive masculinity stuff. A lot of that is self-interest obviously because they want men to think it isn't girly to groom their pubes. I'm all for this kind of stuff but it is always worth remembering which companies take a sharp 180 the second they think it's in their better business interest
Agreed, most of them are self-serving, while pretending to be personable and magnanimous. Not supporting them with my dollar, as I am a straight shave lunatic anyway, who blends their own very particular consistency and texture of shaving soap at home because I find most commercial products both underwhelming and over-priced. Even if I needed a safety razor for difficult areas, hard pass on the cheap entry-level stuff, no matter how they dress it up in marketing
To be earnest, I have a better feeling buying products from companies who are not totally fucked up. I would prefer Ben&Jerry over Nestle chocolate, even if it did not already taste better.
Nestle, PepsiCo. and Hershey's taste worse than good chocolate one would open and forget in an old purse or cabinet for years. Nobody ever has to oversell me on not buying their shit stuff, it is like the evil acts permeate and corrupt their product, rendering it distasteful. They are also so over-priced, when you could buy far cheaper generic product which tastes better and holds upto baking temperature for desserts
Ah yes, PepsiCo. Still operating in Russia even when everyone else shut down. I've boycotted every one of their products since which isn't hard at all to do.
Ben & Jerry's is owned by Unilever, a huge, fucked up multinational who doesn't do good like the original owners. Instead, buy the book B&J published in the 70s and 80s that has their original recipes and make them at home.
True, but Unilever actively wants tog et rid of B&J because B&J still do mostly their own thing. B&J speaking up against the genocide in Gaza made the Unilever board clutch their pearls so hard their fingers started bleeding. Fuck Unilever.

I don't think a conservative man cares about when anything is appropriate up until they get fired for sending dick pics to subordinates

The rule is: if she requests one, then it's okay.
But holy shit getting that thru your average conservative man's head is like pulling teeth.

Given that "your body, my choice" is their motto the idea that a woman can request or refuse things does not compute.
