    The Medusa commercial is woke as it has a subtle attack on "toxic masculinity". She turns a guy to stone for smiling and winking at her.

      Well in Quebec we had to be creative in order to be able to go out and see our parents, I was sneaking through the parking garage at my parents, in order to visit them, I have the key so I could, my brother and sisters were not able to do so, just saying.
      Our prime minister reinstated the war law measures or just about the same, and most of us old enough to remember the 70's remember how it was in Montreal under Trudeau's father, not good, also you forget that in Canada we do NOT have freedom of speech neither freedom of the press, you have something extremely precious and most Americans seam to forget how precious your rights are, we do not have those rights and this is why the police can arrest you at any time in Canada, just for saying something they did not like, Jordan Peterson, became well known exactly when the Canadian government passed a law suppressing all our rights in Canada. and it is now our reality, Canada used to be a great country, now it is one of the worst in the west.

      We had a similar thing in the UK. At the height of BLM there was a point where most media outlets realised they weren’t recognising the Asian and Middle Eastern communities (which they felt hurt their overarching message), hence the term ‘BAME’ communities was plastered everywhere all of a sudden. It took them about a week to realise white liberals didn’t care about the ‘AME’ part of it (those communities aren’t as politically expedient), and the term disappeared.

    Yea, I just seen that Medusa commercial. She pulled down her sunglasses, to turn the guy at the bar, into stone, because he winked at her.. The voice over said, he was asking for it. Well now, they are blaming the victim there, he was asking for it. He wad just trying to get her attention, and let her know that he likes her. The commercial is promoting violence against men, who make a move towards a women, to see, if she likes him too.

    @MrDocneeson 2 ปีที่แล้ว +46

    The Medusa commercial's wokeness lies in the fact that it is a perfect example of rewriting history to push an agenda. The mythology of Medusa is a person is turned to stone by looking at her, not Medusa looking at a person. The only way Perseus could kill her was to look at her reflection in order to chop off her head. He then used her head to turn enemies to stone by holding it in front of them while averting his eyes to prevent him from turning to stone.
    It also could be an indictment of the state of public schools, assuming the ad agency had no clue as to the actual mythology of Medusa.
    Whether it's meant to show an empowered women or just ignorant commercial writers, it idiotic because it completely misrepresents Medusa.

      Also, they literally googled "how to be strong" over the image of Biles, who stepped down rather than persevere. I don't know her life, and maybe it was the best call in that situation for her, but it was not a great example of perseverance. Fortunately for her, instead of being critical, the press have worked hard to create positive spin for her decision, but when people emulate her, they won't get that in the everyday world.
