HFWF OT XII - MCG vs. Cor in a 1 Hour Iron Man Match

[BonMorrison]

You're kinda missing the mark too, they weren't comparing boys fighting to sexual harassment. The idea is that the current culture around masculinity is flawed (this is indisputable) and not teaching kids how to unlearn problematic behavior from a young age can lead to poor mindsets that develop into worse behavior as an adult. Boys being told to suppress their emotions, act a certain way, be a certain way to live up to old and flawed ideologies of masculinity is why they become adults with emotional issues, misplaced aggression, and mental health problems. And of course these things lead to other things which leads to other things - the devaluing of other genders and treating them poorly can be one of them with certain people (hence the emphasis on harassment).

The negative reaction to the commercial from men who thinks it's a "man-hating" ad are pretty telling and scary tbh. I tried to go through the Twitter comments and ugh.

Anyway, we shouldn't get into it as #politics are banned.

and why are we asking Bon about morals?
Bon is rich and doesnt care about Gilette. he has his own, underpaid barber at home.

Fair Enough.

Like I said, I think it is a good ad for them to do, just felt with these sort of things that a simple message is better than trying to squish all these different issues into one ad, and it can make the message lost. Like, I get and agree with what you said in the initial paragraph, but that doesn't really come across to me when I actually watch it, and I think that's my biggest issue with it. It just missed the mark IMO.

Like, I guess to me, what you said was perfect, in terms of the "unlearning behavior", and I think they just put more focus on the kids wrestling each other, rather than the father actually separating them, and teaching them.

Or with the bullying scene, the showed more of the father running with his kid to catch up to the bullies, and the bullies just ran away, and there was no part of actually, teaching the bullies anything, just his own kid was looking at him with admiration, which is fine, but it doesn't solve the actual problematical behavior.

The negative reaction is expected. I mean, Twitter is a cesspool

 

[BonMorrison]

Yeah I get it, they can only squish so much into a short ad.

I think the implication is as long as you're acting on it, that in itself is already a lot which is true considering the old guard would be like "yeah, just let it happen boys will be boys blah blah."

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

I like how razor companies ran out of the number of blades they could pack in so now they are back to marketing "one blade" for the best shave.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

The prices of those blades are ridiculous too. I’m so happy I only use an electric trimmer to maintain my beard now rather than going clean shaven.

 

[Disclose]

i think me and most men in general look better with beard. but whatever. that my gayness.

 

[BonMorrison]

I can’t even grow facial hair, I envy all of you.

 

[Disclose]

well according to MCG you are already beautiful. dont feel bad.
you could probably just buy a beard too.

 

[BonMorrison]

Can confirm that @Disclose , @Paris in Flames , and @M.C.G. 31 have great facial hair.

 

[Disclose]

dude. we can all confrim Paris has a beard.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Awww.

My beard is at its peak look right now. I got it trimmed professionally on Sunday.

I'm gorgeous

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Ya but what about Finn Balor’s abs @BonMorrison

And yo wtf you been creeping @Disclose too?!?

Y’all don’t remember when he jokingly challenged me to find him on FB and I did?

 

[Disclose]

you're so fast at creeping, that you forgot it was someone else who challenged you.
i did a Paris and forgot to edit my name and i guess it was enough to find me by going to the Sens page on facebook.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

I haven’t trimmed my beard or shaved in like fourth months I’m a mountain man right now.

Also I’m with MCG I never use a real razor just electric shears and leave stubble. I’m too lazy.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

@BonMorrison remember when you found @Virtanen18 and sent me a snap of you zooming in on his profile while playing “Humble”

 

[Disclose]

speaking of creeping and @Virtanen18 ... that guy used to hang with us before he got a girlfriend. what the hell man?!?

 

[SeidoN]

Bon's team at work

That was low key one of my favorite friendship moments between us.

There’s more to come bb

 

[SeidoN]

@BonMorrison I'll help you this one time, but consider this my resignation.

 

[BonMorrison]

Oh right @Serac challenged me.

To be fair it helped that you had a unique name. I would’ve never found it if your name was Michael or John.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Then how did you find me @BonMorrison

 

[Paris in Flames]

Or me @BonMorrison

(Yes yes we all know but still!)
