There are more significant concerns regarding woke LGBT activism than an advertisement, such as issues surrounding adolescent puberty blockers, sports, and women-only spaces. Overplaying our hand risks losing the support of independents and moderates-myself included.
Why is anyone using Google search engine at all?? Use the duck or one of the more privacy focused search engines. YT is the one Google product that doesn't have a viable replacement at the moment unfortunately : /
Im amazed this comment is still here. It took SO MANY tries to get a comment to show up saying anything about Google at all, its crazy Actually today it might be a legit issue with the app, one of the disappeared posts showed up after a little while. I don't want to assign malice when its not really there
Christmas is about different things to different people. At this point, to most people, Christmas is about family. It's Thanksgiving with gifts and a big dose of aesthetic. Church Christmas is rare. It's cool that's what it means to you, but that's not universal by any means. Also, don't pretend Jesus was born in December.
I hate ads in general and Christmas ads especially. The rampant consumerism and equating love with how much you spend on someone sickens me. That bein said, this ad is just another example of corporations trying to find another way into the lives of people to take their hard earned money and promise them fulfilment by padding another corpo's pockets.
The ad was cringe, but that's applicable to 9/10 ads. Outrage feels misplaced, but corpos have spent the last decade making advertising about political and social messaging. Seems ridiculous to complain when people start reading into things advertisers have been openly doing.
I think the marketing problem was “how do we break through messaging that google shop exists”. It was precisely this moment that men dressed in women’s clothing unironically pisses people off and delivers that message as an afterthought. It was heard.
The point of an advertiser doing this is to generate a reaction. The decision to green light a controversial idea comes from the prevailing professional managerial class claim to be a progressive force in society, obscuring their core purpose of extracting wealth.
Shocking headline. That Google and Christmas can appear in the same sentence without one of those two words automatically being deleted by the censorship algorithm. Hmmm.
It's definitely true that "woke" is part of the (old) establishment. We need something new and life-affirming -- like RFK's Make America Healthy Again.
The hardest part is portraying a trans person as an advertising subject who of course has to be 'good' or at least more worthy than the average person, but is also a profligate and self-obsessed consumer.
'Outrage' is exaggerating bigly.. its the emotion of disgust.. and disgust gets noticed and noticing sells. The problem is that the disgust experience gets crossed referenced with the brand, in this case Google, and eventually its is a subconscious reaction people dont know consciously why they experience a repulsion instead of attraction to the brand and products. If they had a wise Executive class at Google, they would have pulled these with the sea change of the last election in the direction of normatizing toward the center culturally. But Google is in the San Francisco Bay area, and that is navel gazing environment where to be practical and not partisan is unthinkable socially. I lived there many years... sigh
I dont care, as a Christian, I leave it up to the man upstairs. That said its weird, uncanny, and confusing to children and offensive to women. Big NO On the content of the google ad
If google wants to make this commercial, let them. Eventually people will either get over their sensitivities or they will stop watching. People will still buy the products anyway. People used to freak out about women wearing pants, now it’s not even thought about. This too will pass.
100%with Amber on this one. I really don't care much. Christmas means something else to me entirely than this ad (or most other ads for that matter). This does look like a death rattle of woke advertising though.
So the mere inclusion of a person existing in a single ad is enough to anger the anti woke culture warriors. It wasn’t an ad about being trans it just had a trans person in it🤷♂️
Niall and Amber - nice pair up for the editorial. Niall is more left-leaning and Amber right, but this rational discussion style just works for me. Kinda tired of "The sky is falling." commentators. Well done.
Jabs for what ? To destroy their own workplace ? 🤔 . Ubisoft , Kotaku , Jaguar literally dying dude , Bud light dying for several months before people forget . That's Tons of Billion dollar lost .
This one doesn't bother me much. It's cringey, but it is at least still targeting a legitimate part of their consumer base. The Bud Light one bothered me more because it really seemed like they didn't understand who their core consumers were and were just trying to appeal to the modern crowd. And then the worst ad in my mind is still the Gillette one attacking men. I used to exclusively buy Gillette razors and their gel underarm deodorant since my teens. But I haven't purchased a single Gillette or P&G product since. Because if they hate their clientele that much, I'm not gonna give them my money.
I really don't care. I also have no idea who these ads are for from a business perspective. I think they are basically religious ads for the left identity cult.
So is The Hill just online Fox News? Cause they are just smashing the culture war button. At least when Krystal and Saagar were on they talked about some economic stuff.
I'm with Niall on this. What's wrong with one ad that targets a demographic? I think it's okay to have some ads that are targeted to conservative audiences and some ads that target progressive audiences.
Not sure that audience is small. Progressives generally won’t find the ad offensive. So the ad fails to sell the product maybe idk but that hurts Google. Is the concern that this ad will work in selling the product and convince vulnerable kids to troon out? That seems far fetched.
Wokeness is actively on its way out. Everyone better get with the program. The wokies all need to smarten up.

Out for good😂
How demeaning is it to portray women as caricature
Exactly but the left hates Christians so it's okay to mock Christmas.
Nobody is “outraged”. We are just sick of the pandering to a tiny % of the population at the expense of our traditions and culture.
“Woke” has jumped the shark.
We owe bullies an apology
Honestly😮💨
Yes 😂
Facts😂
Thoroughly disgusting
Constant reminders of the sick world we live in
This is so 2020, pathetic.
Goodbye Google Shopping

Niall is the sane liberal co-host Rising needs. The ad was lousy and unlikely to help Google's bottom line.
only GOOGLE would be LAME enough to create an AD like that one, that's for sure.....
You haven't seen the new Jaguar ad yet?
Problem is that sooo many women go along with this. Afraid of speaking out for themselves.
I am not bothered by this, but I live in a not very religious country.
Why can't they stop themselves?
When has evil done that, ever?
This wont trip the conservative radar too loudly as everyone expects this from Googlem, its not the same betrayal of customer base as Gillette or Bud
Ya the bud light especially was more that they hated their actual customers and went on video saying that.
Is this a competition to see who can top Bud Light?
Dylan's hubby?
@@danielcarlson800 You got the unintended pun lol
Christmas is about birth, Jesus Christ. Not about a life style.
so no christmas presents in your family then?
…to you.
Christmas is about different things to different people. At this point, to most people, Christmas is about family. It's Thanksgiving with gifts and a big dose of aesthetic.
Church Christmas is rare. It's cool that's what it means to you, but that's not universal by any means. Also, don't pretend Jesus was born in December.
Cultural appropriation! Christmas is Norse.
Religion is Dictatorship
break up Google!

I know someone who works for a national ad agency. She's all into this woke stuff. She's completely disconnected from the average viewer of ads.
That is Nasty 😂😂
Absolutely Disgusting Ad
That was disgusting
I haven't used Google in over five years with the exception of Maps.
Dude they own RUclips 😂
And YT 😅
But ya, same. D d g is a better search engine, i don't understand why ppl who hate Google keep using the easily replaced products of theirs

Best thing to do to a troll is to ignore it.
Well, here we go all over again. This appeals to no one. How much do corporations have to lose before they figure that out.
What a terrible day to have eyes.
People need real problems
I think the marketing problem was “how do we break through messaging that google shop exists”. It was precisely this moment that men dressed in women’s clothing unironically pisses people off and delivers that message as an afterthought. It was heard.
I haven't used Google in years, except for when I need to do an advanced search.
Does the good search engine not have that advanced search ability?
it's just annoying point blank

Thank God the majority of this country is not woke😊
Google isn't worried because they have the monopoly you don't have a choice 😅😂😅😂😅😂
we need to stop giving them taxpayer money to do this
Now I understand trigger warnings. I was not ready for that thing.
There's a difference between accepting someone and being forced to worship someone
Freakshow
What did this person in the add do to pass people off? It's just skincare.
Shocking headline. That Google and Christmas can appear in the same sentence without one of those two words automatically being deleted by the censorship algorithm. Hmmm.
"Woke" has become such a buzzword it's lost all meaning.

Perfectly stated argument, bravo.
Why not have Lily Philips on a Google Ad?
Can we get rid of Neil?
This is one of those scenarios I'm glad I'm only receiving targeted ads and can configure which ones I prefer.
That dude makes Dylan Mulvaney look like the Marlboro Man.
This one is not really worth covering, Amber. Its tired.
Agreed
Is it me or does this guy look like a Romulan or Vulcan from Star Trek with those eyebrows?
True. It's not even about woke for corporations, it's about the money for them. Maybe smarter to pick something safer ads.
It seems Google didn't get the memo...
I know this is on the way out, but I am at the point where I just laugh at it. It's not a real big deal.
Ad would be vapid no matter who was in it.
I dont care, as a Christian, I leave it up to the man upstairs. That said its weird, uncanny, and confusing to children and offensive to women. Big NO On the content of the google ad
Google had George Washington and vikings as black people on its AI... nothing will surprise me anymore from Google
I identify as being non-binary. I also identify as not having hair, but fur, and I identify as not walking, but horizontally climbing.
Dude. I’m stealing that
No “outrage” just one big huge eye roll
Keep Niall!
If google wants to make this commercial, let them. Eventually people will either get over their sensitivities or they will stop watching. People will still buy the products anyway.
People used to freak out about women wearing pants, now it’s not even thought about. This too will pass.
Ad is fine, literally nothing to be triggered.
gross
Why do we need to make men women?
It's just a mentally ill man. There is no need to outrage about it.
They should have had Rudy Giuliani do the ad in his ladies best, he needs the money.
Not interested. Don't care. Wasn't going to buy Google anything, anyway.
100%with Amber on this one. I really don't care much. Christmas means something else to me entirely than this ad (or most other ads for that matter). This does look like a death rattle of woke advertising though.

This has been going on for a while now. Make sure you're on the right side of it.
Not sure I understand? Is "woke" referring to kids staying awake on Christmas Eve in hope of seeing Santa?
Hey Gemini! Create a Christmas ad featuring a Founding Father going shopping!
Thanks, Gemini.
Niall and Amber - nice pair up for the editorial. Niall is more left-leaning and Amber right, but this rational discussion style just works for me. Kinda tired of "The sky is falling." commentators. Well done.
Who's the ad aimed at?
I’m not the target market for the ad.
I don’t have a problem with this ad. It doesn’t exclude a massive loyal customer base, it’s not marketed towards children. It’s actually ‘inclusive’
It hurts religious sentiments of some hence not inclusive.
Maybe but there are people without families buying gifts for themselves. I still see no harm in the ad 🤷♀️
This one is more relevant with it being skin care. It was inappropriate in the other 2 examples.
Google following Jaguar into the abyss.
literally unwatchable
They’re just trying to get as many jabs in as they can before Trump gets in, it’s petty af.
Jabs for what ? To destroy their own workplace ? 🤔 .
Ubisoft , Kotaku , Jaguar literally dying dude , Bud light dying for several months before people forget . That's Tons of Billion dollar lost .
What a freak.
GROSS🤮
GOOGLE ATTACKS WOMEN
Oli London? Really? TBH I am glad to see more representation.
Outrage over nothing
Why do you even care? We all consume products. No biggie, move on!
I Honestly don't care about this
Ick. Is this what the kids call cringe? My skin is screaming no.
The Hill seriously needs to fix their audio video. This looks and sounds like it was filmed on a webcam
I stopped using Google years ago, I use duck duck go etc

"They" look like a boxer from algeria.
Yeah i'm glad to see the world has "woken" up from fing nightmare and has decided to start having fun again👌🤣
He must have watched the recent episode of reason
That dude must be Google CEO's sister. Look so like😂
Much ado about nothing. Move along, nothing to see here.
Insane.
So is The Hill just online Fox News? Cause they are just smashing the culture war button. At least when Krystal and Saagar were on they talked about some economic stuff.
Oh no! The horror! 😭😱 /s
I'm with Niall on this. What's wrong with one ad that targets a demographic? I think it's okay to have some ads that are targeted to conservative audiences and some ads that target progressive audiences.
A very small demographic audience plus it can turn off the majority.
