Current Events > Japanese Mcdonalds Ad sparks controversy.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Are the American values supposed to be that they're eating McDonald's?

weirdest thing for people to manufacture outrage over.

It's not new.

"WOKE!" and it's part of the whole "outrage" culture with the right of the red cap variaty. Manufactured outrage is one of their best tools.

Can't argue policy, right?

Is this Poe's Law?

Not that it matters, because it's not actually controversial, outside of stupid people being stupid on the internet...

"Oh noe! The daughter and mom look the same! Where is the divirsity?! RIGHT WING STEREOTYPES!"

And even more accurately, pretending it's an actual thing with the left in any prominent way, so you could bash on the left...

Like the right would have "woke!" front and center in terms of platform. Biden or those in power, don't give a shit about this. People who are voted for. No prominence.

No, it's a nothing burger.

you guys should stop posting shit from reddit and twitter and fighting about it

this feels pretty rich coming from the user that once whined about being "censored", including crying that "you can shit talk conservatives but not liberals"

and spoilers for anybody wondering: you did it in response to a post regarding posting about race which pretty much tells us what youre about

looking into it further, viewmaster_pi in particular is somebody who got super mad that you cant be racist on gamefaqs and chalked it up as "you get modded here unless youre liberal"

take that as you may. and yes i do have receipts upon request

i only said shit like that because the second you criticize how wound up and obnoxious some of the left leaning users here are, you immediately get blasted as a conservative, which is tantamount to being drawn and quartered around here. and dudes like you who stew on shit like that for literal years and creep on posts histories to throw shit on a hair trigger are who i'm talking about. i don't even know who you are

"i only said shit like that to troll! honest!"

you know that's not what i said. but come on, if you got all this dirt, let's see it and i'll address it

you already admitted what i said was true. too late now holmes lmao

......

so to recap, you're allowed to say one group of people is racist trash, but you can't make sweeping generalizations about the left

just making sure my notes are right so how i know how to avoid getting modded. it's not as straight-forward as i thought

do you want me to keep going with the clear theme of your posts or what

if you really want to keep scraping some post from years ago, sure. whether or not i feel the same way nowadays, i will own up to the shit that i've posted here.

viewmaster_pi posted...

......

Bro, you can criticize even generalize....

Just dont be a dishonest douche about it.

Like those who pretend this shit is a relevant controversy.

As it is, it just sounds like your spewing out cop outs... because you don't like what is being said. And won't entertain the idea of being wrong

i will own up to the s*** that i've posted here.

Didn't see this, good on you.

"this doesnt exist, go ahead and post."

"okay that was years ago but keep scraping"

lmao okay dude. if you had truly changed i wouldnt have need to post the posts that you tried to deny exist in the first place

i didn't even say anything about the "controversy," lol. i said people shouldn't post nothingburgers from twitter. i agreed with you

No, I meant about the post brought up about you. You can criticize and generalize. It's just in the how.

Plus it was a post before I saw your owning up to it.

And I'm on the logic of it. Its something you can do rationally and not be deserving of getting modded.

But you never know with mods.

spoilers: viewmaster_pi has a history of getting "censored" (see: suspended) for his "opinions", hence the post I quoted from him whining about the fact.

aka: they typically post some pretty bigoted stuff and then whine that they get modded over it

Maybe. But peeps can change. And they can lie too, don't get me wrong.

Just giving em the benefit of the doubt.

alright dude now you're just lying. i haven't been suspended since the brawl boards were popular. idk what exactly is up with you tonight, or why i'm your designated target, but you're doing too much

looks like Japanese dude married Wendy from Wendys and had a kid with her and they are eating McDonalds

I'd buy the Manga!

Make it happen Japan.

The fact that some people see transphobia, racism, and even pedophilia in a wholesome animated ad off a family eating McDonald's goes to show you that those people are mentally insane.

Hey, I'm just trying to figure out the angle.
