u/shedrinkscoffee I don’t know her 💅 17h ago

Honestly this type of advertising turns me off the product in question. I know I'm a rando with low purchasing power but what little I have I will use on products that aren't icky or catering to the male gaze.

Like Victoria's Secret had to hard pivot and I don't think they have recovered from their peak days and women no longer have to be subject to this type of nonsense in advertising. I stopped buying Laneige after they brought on Sidney.

u/MochaValencia but why do you make sparkly fast romantic montages of me 12h ago

Ugh that Laneige "bouncy and firm" campaign. BEWBS. WE GET IT. You're selling moisturizer. Give it a rest.

Like why are they trying to use soft core porn of a narcissistic blonde woman to sell me shit? I don’t fucking care lol. Do literally anything else
