In somewhat surprising news, Reebok tried woke marketing in Russia. It didn't go well. A couple of examples.


Get off the needle of male validation and get on men's faces.


I covered my nipples, so you don't cut on them.

Naturally they were ridiculed for it, and now face-sitting is a meme.

It's literally "no frame" (I think, I am learning!) but means "out of control". There's an article you can read about it.

The closest translation would be 'outside of all norms', and it's implied that wearing Reebok is some counter-cultural act of rebellion that makes you not constrained by societal norms. Funnily, the original campaign was just bland platitudes with a hashtag #BeMoreHuman



It's completely unclear why they chose Russia of all places to make it super woke. Well, outside of the whole outrage marketing angle, of course.

It's loving crazy. Every leftist revolt/reform/movement in the past has generally gone hand in hand with sex. Wokeness is strangely prudish.

Not really. When you consider that the purpose of performative wokeness is just social control, being sex negative is a natural part of that.

And it's exclusively by and for the liberal white bourgeoisie, who as should be obvious by now, all have massive brain problems.

Often just like the homophobic conservatives it turns out a lot of the most vocally performatively woke are sexual predators.

wokeness is confused by sex for the same reason feminism is no one wants to admit that this poo poo is context heavy and there is no magical rule thats going to make us horny bonobos who have constant sex orgies where everyone is a consenting adult

the game is already over at the point where the issue is framed in terms of "consent", which liberals love because that means its a contract and therefore subject to pedantry, and conservatives hate because that means its transactional and therefore out of reach.

"Mutual desire" is probably a better standard. Consent had done good work in a lot of ways, but it reminds me a lot of "tolerance" in that it describes a sort of emotionally void pseudo-contractual agreement between strangers to not be overtly malicious towards each other.

The emotional emptiness comes in part, I think, from a discomfort with subjectivity as anything but an unknowable black box which is absolutely essential to science, markets, social contacts, etc, but never to be examined on its own terms.

Explains so loving much that wokeness is what happens when you can no longer view human relationships through any lens but corporate relationships, because corporations are the new people

Well, just because you're ready doesn't mean I am. :)

In seriousness, my only thinking is that if I went home with somebody and they suddenly asked if I consented to sex it'd kill the mood outright. That's all.

he is saying, that when you are framing it in terms of "consent," with two parties negotiating, saying "oh, you can touch me here, do this but don't do that," and so on and so on, already you are eating from the trash can of liberal ideology

When you think about it, Ayn Rand was right about sex as a contract. In conclusion wokeness is a land of contracts contrasts.
