I really want to believe stonetoss is an r-slur, but how was one stupid webcomic so prescient?

The message behind it is obvious now, but he seemed like one of the first to point it out.

why has this guy become an unironic, significant social commentator?

The slippery slope is very real and not a "logical fallacy" much to redditors' chagrin. Capital has judged this kind of marketing to be better for bottom lines, so we're now regularly getting the kind of commercials rightoids a decade ago kvetched about.

No it hasn't, these ads are produced without regard for the bottom line or at most smoke and mirrors analysis that claims it's good for the bottom line without real knowledge either way

You seem to be better informed than I am. Why would a company put out advertisement that they haven't concluded would improve their bottom line?

I'm not informed at all, I just know they do that. They do this because they're communist demon pedofiles

Yes, large corporations are clearly communist. I know you're joking, but the rightoids that actually think this way are braindead.

These corps contain a large number of true believers and an even larger number of loyal followers to woke creeds, any individual inclined to question this too strongly or even just try to prioritize profit over wokeness is painting a target on their back.

Yeah yeah sweatshops and stuff but that's a much lower priority than :!marseytrain:s and owning the rightoids.

Them being communist demon p-dophiles may seem like an r-slured take but it predicts their actions as well as anything else

I do agree with you on the "communist demon p-dophile" index being astonishingly accurate as of late.

Companies waste a shit ton of marketing money, like 25-50% depending. They have no way of knowing what ad campaigns will promote sales, they just throw shit at the wall and hope some of it comes out better.

Marketers are snake oil salesman, they'll lie through their teeth with every data manipulation in the books to show "success" of ad campaigns. False click through, fake time watched, fabricated exposure, shifted demographics.

No, people don't know how logical fallacies work. Assuming something will lead to a slippery slope often with no evidence is a fallacy when in an argument. This does not mean that slippery slopes do not exist. They are just bad arguments when we cannot see the future. SSs obviously exist like with drug use. Weed leads to harder drugs a lot. As a straight edge objectively the best way to avoid drugs is to just never get into them.

He's also one of the first that I recall calling out the footstrags and really cemented the male feminists=male feminists meme

Probably because the average 2021 American is barely literate
