The advertisement in question
While a section of netizens slammed Dabur for promoting what they believed to be a 'regressive' and 'patriarchal practice', another section, including Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra, threatened legal action over the depiction of the celebration of a Hindu ritual by lesbians.
For reference there's a looot of sneed about Karva Chauth from local feminists, its a day foids fast to pray for their husband's long life and obviously that's a human rights abuse Practically starving the poor girls
So even if they had to pick a festival to appeal to progressives this was possibly the worst one to pick.
“I consider this a serious matter. More so because such advertisements and clippings are made on the rituals of Hindu festivals only. They (the advertisement) showed lesbians celebrating Karva Chauth and seeing each other through a sieve. In future, they will show two men taking 'feras' (marrying each other according to Hindu rituals). This is objectionable,” Mishra told reporters on Monday.
Chuds continue to be sexist bigots against homo men
And if you had no idea about the product being advertised()
While many had praised the ad for its inclusivity when it first aired, many also complained about the continued spread of the ‘fair skin idea' which has been increasingly criticized for being racist.
It's high time that companies need 2 understand that 1-sided,biased Ads won't b tolerated anymore. Why do these companies come out during Hindu festivals like rain frogs? that 2 with a wrong impression. Were r they during another festival like Christmas,Eid,etc.
Why aren't there more irrelevant minorities in my adslop?
My opposition is NOT to these ads. I welcome them. I would just like to see similar themes for Eid, Christmas, Guru Parab etc.
Pozz me harder daddy. But also pozz the Pakis
