TRANSGENDERBraun forgets that selling products for men is probably best done by featuring men, not mutilated women.

See this is the trouble with boycotts.

I don't buy any of that stuff to start with.

Well buy some and then you can stop, do your part! Hehe

You could short their stock.

How can man live without tampax?

I doubt that's all, because someone also has to produce the no brand items, right?

They've been doing that race forever. Figures they'd get around to just men sooner rather than later. Those scars are just objectively gross too.

At this point, they know what they're doing. The outrage makes people memorize the brand. Somehow, I guess it must work, or companies wouldn't keep doing it.

Anheuser-Busch's stock is still in the shitter since the boycott.

Meh, I really don't care about this one. She's an adult who chose to modify her body, to me that's basically the same thing as getting tattoos or other stupid body mods.

Braun had her in like half a second of the ad, trans men are part of the potential demographic and market for Braun, so I see nothing wrong with that.

If they pulled a Gillette though and said regular men are bad, or tried to run a whole campaign that basically targeted trans men exclusively then I would have an issue.

Pick your battles guys. If you draw the line too far back then there really is no other explanation than you really are hating for hate's sake.

Until they start trying to tell me how I am allowed to think about them, or what language I can use, or try to overly complicate and derail our social systems (which they OFTEN do) then I really don't give a fuck.

Braun have been slammed as 'shockingly immoral' after advertising men's trimmers with a trans model who has double mastectomy scars.

The topless model promoting the Series X Hybrid Trimmers for the grooming brand appears to have scars related to the surgery.

The shaving accessory is advertised as being for beard hair, body hair and head hair - offering 'styling and trimming from head to toe'.

Would not trust a shaving accessory of all things if they're using someone trans. There are reasons they're in different shapes after all. If you're selling me one for a trans person you're selling it for the opposite sex.

Like I'm not saying you can't use other ones, just that in my experience they don't work as well. Why would I want a product that they're basically advertising as worse for me?

Braun just used that rage is good for brand awareness.

Maybe they can get into the business of selling the testosterone too? How about a Gillette razor to remove your breasts at home, the closest shave of your life! No surgery required!
