Good thing he included Frida, the ghost of a matador, and Speedy Gonzalez to remind us how serious this "crisis" is.

I certainly feel "owned." I mean, it's hard to argue that it's a manufactured crisis when there's proof right here that the crisis is real.

Seriously though, how many cartoons have we seen now where the message is "This fictional scenario that I've put on paper is proof that ______ happened!"

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

This got lost in the shuffle of laughing at the sound of fragile men breaking apart over a pretty benign razor ad but I can’t tell if Branco has memory holed that Puerto Rico is currently a smoking crater with thousands dead still from Trump’s lovely hurricane response or if he’s framing it as “Puerto Rico was fine actually and it’s just democrats lying about it”

I think there were supposed to be politicians in PR this week as part of Hamilton opening there (Lin-Manuel Miranda briefly returned to the lead role as part of it.)

But then Trump shut down the government and none of the people Branco is crying about actually went because they are marginally more aware of optics than Donald Trump.

No it doesn't. I mean, the ad itself features men being nice and not gross. If you feel personally attacked by the message "don't be a bully or a sex pest" you really ought to have a big think about yourself and how you treat others.

Uh sure but the "gross and not nice" being referred to is... sexual assault and harassment. Do you not understand what the conversation about toxic masculinity is about? It's not about "Lol neckbeards are gross," it's about "loving christ, stop harassing women you disgusting assholes."

Also the commercial doesn't refer to all men as gross and not nice. If the message you took from it was that it was a personal insult at you, maybe it's time for some self reflection on why that may be.

The dog whistle phrase of "toxic masculinity" has a much deeper and discriminatory meaning than simply males who commit sexual assault and harassment. If Gillette had simply avoided this phrase, there would likely have been little backlash for their overall message.

That's not what toxic masculinity means, it's not a "dog whistle" but it does deserve a special term for "actually useful phrase that incels and the alt-right whip themselves into a frenzy over by intentionally misunderstanding".
