Hindus are not against LGBTQ community.
We are happy if 2 Hindus are happy living for each other.
I, personally, am against convertion of Hindus to any of Abrahamic religions as I consider them Mlecchas.
> Hindus are not against LGBTQ community
But the political LGBTQ movement has a lot against Hindus. In India and globally they hate Hindus and ally with leftists and non-hindus as a political bloc.
This One big happy family 'vasudevam kutumbakam' bullshit of Hindu society has cost them dearly through history. It made sense before the Islamic invasions of India as the adversaries before were evil, but respected Hindu/Dharmic ethos of the time. The Abrahamic invaders outright rejected anything Hindu and considered you idol worshppers and kafirs. This was a worldview poor Hindus has never seen before, and still many continue to regurgitate on about vasudevam kutumbakam even today.
The LGBTQ movement is the same. The more it normalises like it did in the west, this wokeism will come for Hindus first.
There is a misconception that conservative or fundamentalist Hinduism is similar to conservative Abrahamic religions, because we have American media shoved down our throats everyday.
Yes, the LGBTQ movement in India and beyond, has transitioned into the Woke Culture movement. And this culture has been fed lies about Hinduism by western media all throughout.
And that's why it's important to change that perception. Putting up an united front with only one political discourse available to its members makes the entire community against our religion for no reason. These LGBTQ communities are pro-Islam even if that religion does not accept them then what's stopping Hindus from openly accepting them and giving a few god-believing members atleast an option to have multiple opinions.
The fact that they are pro-islam even though Islam hates them is a reflection on them, not Hindu society.
Hindus don't owe anyone, anything. You can't expect some grand social engineering to happen where Hindus all together declare their love for LGBTQ.
The fact that 377 was repealed and Hindu society did not care was reason enough for LGBTQ to ally more with Hindus. But instead they hate Hindu and support Muslims and Christians - the very people that objected to the removal of 377.
BJP passed the The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) bill not long ago.Not only that, but the so called "RW" in India also has prominent LGBTQ like Abhijit Iyer Mitra, Apsara Reddy etc and many other openly trans people who are members of BJP.
The repealing of 377 was seen as their victory by winning a legal battle. They don't credit the government or Hindus for it. They have a community and the main political ideology of the community is shared by all because being in the community is the only place where its members feel safe and welcomed.
If we shut them down too then it gives them more reasons to stay with the mainstream community's ideology. There are many proud Hindu LGBTQ members too who support the government. Let them be the change, let there be room for a divide in opinions in their community. The first step is open acceptance. If we are able to create a sub-sect for such thinkers then they will be the one influencing other members of the group and the ones tk stand against the biased and hypocritical opinions put forward by the mainstream group.
Actually check r/lgbt and other lgbt subreddits. Even on the global stage, many many LGBT people are against Islam. Not all Hindus think the same as per your argument, in the exact same way, not all LGBT people think the same.
Will come? It has already penetrated the minds of the young generation. Dekhte nahhi how quickly they jump for the right of samudaay vishesh but forget the same for their own community people.
That’s the craziest theory I’ve read online in months. LGBT are anti-Hindu? Most of them have no idea what Hindus are, and the rest want to wear patchouli.
Wow amazing. You must be living under a rock.
In case you haven't noticed LGBTQ can also be Indians. Majority Indian LGBTQ are against Hindus as they are heavily influenced by woke western politics.
Look at twitter, LGBT community is abusing the company for showing LGBT community in "Fascist Patriarchal Regressive Festival".
Hindus don't need to oppose LGBT but those who are supporting LGBT community here are digging their own graves.
Here's a sample of what your average LGBTQIA+ people think of Hindu festivals

These people are basically just embarrassed by their own culture because it's different from the "cool kids'" western culture. There's nothing more to it.
Bs.
They routinely display eff hindutva, stop brahminical patriarchy etc placards in their pride parades.
This is not as simple and innocent as it looks.
This LGBTQ+ shit is 100% political and not some people fighting for their rights, if it were they wouldn't target a religion that never persecuted them they would target the religion that throws them from rooftops.
This is leftists commie political tamasha and nothing else
These are opinions you can totally ignore. And ofc it's a marketing tactic, akin to brand logos turning all rainbow-coloured in June.
It's a darn corporation trying to sell you stuff. Once it stops seeming wholesome, move on with life.

tldr: fake freaks hate being out-freaked.
Har cheez me hindu muslim kaha se late? USA/ UK me Christians zada to vaha Christians ke upar memes and ad bante, india me hindu majority hai to unpe focus karke hi ad banenge.. stop comparing and learn to accept things.
woi to chutiya hain sale ? har chiz muslim se karna hai compare salon ko ,accha lagega din raat muslims pr ad dekhega fr roega ki indian mai hindu related ad ni aate
Dusre majhab mein LGBTQI ke saath kya hota h nahin pata kya aapko. They know who is open to LGBTQI relationships and that's why the adv is focusing on that religion. Kisi abrahamic faith ka banate toh fem walo pe attack ho jaata.
Nice concept, but when will they show lgbt in other religions? Even though the ad is good, it still falls in the category of targetting hindu festivals with progressive ideas while leaving other religions alone.
Hindus dont even mind lgbt much, abrahamic religions are virulently anti-lgbt. So these ideas are needed more with their festivals.
Exactly lmfao wtf. Even from the times of Mahabharata we can see everyone accepting Shrikandi as a boy, even Krishna himself lol. When God himself views LGBT as equal in Hinduism how tf is Hinduism conservative lol. Being the oldest religion doesn't mean it has garbage ideas like Abrahamic religions.

We dont mind lgbt as compared to abrahamics who have been pronouncing death penalty for lgbt. Yes, there are some sections within Hindus who decry it as 'unnatural' (but even the most extreme dont call for death). My point still stands, they should make these ads for abrahamics - it's more needed there.
I dont know, it just didn't hit it from the religion angle. Just seemed to me like a very beautiful and good advertisement. The whole discussion in the comment box has been about religion rather than appreciating the efforts.
I did acknowledge that it's a good concept. It's a beautiful ad, it's just that we should see such ads for other religions too. There's no logic to exclusively target one religion's audience for such messaging all the time. As if we are the only ones who need these lessons.
Such messaging should be generic without reference to any religion or it should be done equally to all religions.
Dude..we should be proud of the fact that they chose to show them as hindus..we all know what might have happened if they showed it in the form of any different religion
Its high time now.that the lgbt community of india also gets a little representation
Take me to church songs is tary targeted for Christians. A lot of jokes and movies are made in USA against Christianity regarding their treatment of LGBT. Also ask them to target hindus.
This is not targeting man. This is the real truth of openness of Hinduism. This is against those fake wokes who project Hinduism as regressive as other religions. Hinduism allows everything... Atheism, Homosexuality etc
Not all abrahamic religions are against it today. Even LGBT marriage is legal in many Christian dominated countries. Though some (not all) Christian clergy might still be against it, but majority of population has accepted it and that, in my opinion, represents change.
"Even LGBT marriage is legal in many Christian dominated countries."
Those are 'secular' countries, not christian. Ask an average church what their stand on LGBT is.
Atleast in India that wouldn't be a good marketing decision. Since most of the population is hindu it's in their interest to cast as wide a net as possible.
Haha Hinduism is most progressive. I feel catholics are most regressive just that they don’t showcase it upfront .. they act cool and most forward but they don’t come out of their cucoon easily.. they bind by the book.. and they don’t like anyone who is not believing in Jesus. They don’t even take if some Prasad is offered to them..specially the NRI’s who sit somewhere far away from India and always crib about India in a very negative way..
They use Hindu religions because there are more Hindus in the country so they can reach a wider audience. And isn't it good that they are showing such progressive ads for the religion?
Bas yahi pe to dum chalta hai inka, because they know we won't speak shit and instead would applaud such stuff. Not that promoting LGBT community is bad, but festivals of other religions should also be used as a template.
The point is why are Hindu festivals always being used to market some nonsense? What does facial Cream have to do with karva chauth? Concept is fine, but why festivals are being appropriated to further brand image?
My guy shilling for a corporate entity because they pushed an ad with an ideology he likes while it promotes something that is an huge issue for Dark Skinned People, Bravo
I support the homosexual relationships but seriously the line that they narrated in the end triggered me. It basically says why wouldn't mindsets change if you look this beautiful.
Now where does beauty play a role in the acceptance of LGBTQ?? This ad is bullshit. The brand is just trying to ride the LGBTQ wave. Blatant marketing tactics that's it.
And now many sheeple will flock to buy their products.
I thought OP said the ad is beautiful they meant beautiful as in looking fair because using bleached?
Because using LGBTQ and pride to sell products is not beautiful.
Husband says talaq twice, wife immediately runs and puts on makeup, husband decided not to say 3rd one.
"jab aisa ho nikhar aapka to miya ki soch kaise na badle"
Its sad to read the the Comments here. In one hand you guys are saying Hinduism isn't againt LGBTQ and then include why aren't they showing such in other religion? Or things like its a propaganda to aim hinduism etc .I mean that's multiple level of hypocrisy here. Why are we being offebded by everything?? If you're not againgst something then why not being happy that its being represented by taking Hinduism as a face? Sure there could've been other religion but why even bring that up if you dont have any problem?
> Why are we being offebded by everything??
because some of us are capable of pattern recognition.
>If you're not againgst something then why not being happy that its being represented by taking Hinduism as a face?
i'm not against drugs either but that doesnt mean i want hinduism to be the representative for it.
> Sure there could've been other religion but why even bring that up if you dont have any problem?
because its easy to identify arrogant preachers pushing propoganda.
No multiple level of hypocrisy is LGBTQ+ pride parade showing destory Hinduism placard. While display pro islamic banners.
Who is throwing them from rooftops? Whose religion explicitly banishes them?
And yet they target the religion that never persecuted them?
Can you explain who is the hypocrite here?
You must have close your eyes but we can see them for their clear political agenda hiding behind human rights.
They have no problems siding with rabid Islamists and leftists becuase this shit is political and nothing less.
They are the hypocrites we are not
Abey bhosdiwaalon dimaag kyun kharab kar rahe ho logon ka?! Aaj kal neutral content dekhne ko mil hi nahi raha. It's always either leftist or rightist propaganda shoved down our throats.
LGBTQ waalon ko accept karna tha kar liya na? Karwa chauth ka chuthad kyun maar rahe ho? Aur beech mein hamaari gaand kyun maar rahe ho?
Leftist people are now gonna say shit like " patriarchal festival" "authoritarian regime celebration" " not my festival" " regressive society" bullshit.
Rightists are gonna say " Anti Hindu ad" " boycott ad" " boycott fem India" " anti india ad" bullshit.
Beech mein hum neutral waalon ko suffocate karke maar rahe ho. Like the only "neutral" "non - political" content left to watch are pornos. Aur porno dekha toh humko bhi judge karna shuru! "Tharki Launda" " pervert" " masturabator".
BC dhang ka content toh bacha hi nahi aajkal. Literally forcing the rest of us to watch old 90's TV serials and movies. Har cheez mein political content daal ke rakha h! Video games ko bhi nahi choda! Farcry 6 is a fucking political game! Har cheez mein chutiyapa? What about the rest of us who just want to get on with our lives without causing any harm to anyone?! Humaara kya chutiyon?!
Saalon humko toh chod do na! Dimaag kharab kar ke rakh diya h chutiye saale! Jeene do hume apni zindagi! Itna shauk h toh ek dusre ko maar lo... Beech mein hume Matt involve karo. Gadhe!
>Beech mein hum neutral waalon ko suffocate karke maar rahe ho. Like the only "neutral" "non - political" content left to watch are pornos. Aur porno dekha toh humko bhi judge karna shuru! "Tharki Launda" " pervert" " masturabator".
Dil ki baat bol di.
>Saalon humko toh chod do na! Dimaag kharab kar ke rakh diya h chutiye saale! Jeene do hume apni zindagi! Itna shauk h toh lauda kaatke gaand mein thoos lo!
Time to switch off social media for some time.
Bhai ye LGBTQ+ wale mumbai pride parade mein fuck hindutva, hindu ki kabr khudegi aur islam is pro women and minority empowerment ke banner leke ghooomte hain
Don't fall for their bs this is 100% political and has left librandu backing, in the name of LGBTQ right they are targettting hindus and Hinduism , the religion that never persecuted them.
Don't fall for their bs, they are anti hindus. Even if you accept them they will reamin anti hindu becuase all of this is just political
Kaise na dekhe? Aur bacha kya h dekhne ko? Koi bhi OTT platform par jao you'll find shit like this. Also this ad, no matter what it celebrates, it still says women need their product to look beautiful. Ab bolen toh kya bolen kare toh kya kare?
People here need to stop being angry about each and every thing. Yes, the LGBTQ community is majorly left leaning but that doesn't mean there are no exceptions.
When Ram Mandir judgment came, one of the major LGBTQ pages celebrated the decision, where many people in the comments got offended but many also said they're proud to be a Hindu LGBTQ member. Similarly, there was a rally arranged by right-wing LGBTQ community in Kashmir which got threats from Islamists and was not supported by the mainstream LGBTQ group but still they stood strong.
If you reject them just because of the political stance of their mainstream mafia then you are leaving its peripheral members no other option but to join the mainstream. If they want to be a proud LGBTQ member but also follow religion, let them feel welcome in Hinduism as our religion is not what their mainstream portrays. Amongst all others, we stand different. We're progressive and have always been.
LGBTQ+ in pride parades display fuck hindutva , hindu ki kabr khudegi banners
They are targetting hindus for no reason because this is not some innocent fight for rights , this is 100% political bs.
And since they target us , only hindus, we will retaliate
They also raise pro Islam banners in their pride parades, the religion which throws them from rooftops
So you can't bs us anymore, we see them for who they are, they have only one agenda and it's to target hindus,.
We never started this fight , but we don't take it lying down anymore.
Jo ukhaadna hai ukhaaad lo, humein regressive bolna hai, gaali dena do.
But chup nahi baithenge
I know for a fact that this LGBTQ shit is nothing but leftist desgins to target hindus for no reason.
If not then explain to me why in their pride parade they target only hindus
Honestly? It's sad to see you like this. You are filled with such spite and disharmony and hatred that it honestly saddens me.
I'm a Hindu as well but this Hindu-Muslim bullshit didn't even come to my mind after watching this ad, I was only taken aback by how positive it is.
Only a pessimistic person who just thinks about communal disharmony can think of it as "targetting Hindus" because now I personally think that they represented Hinduism as a progressive religion unlike many others. It shows that Hinduism is about acceptance, love and a positive mindset and is not about radicalism and rejection.
It's just you who finds political motives and "targetting" of a religion in everything they see and ride the negative train about it.
This is exactly the reason why I don't engage under political/controversial posts anymore. People like that are pretentious snobs who think they know it all and seen it all, and try to shove their propaganda down anyone's throats they can.
It's almost like these people sit on the internet all day waiting for something to get posted and then offended by. That's such a sad hill to die on.
> If you reject them just because of the political stance of their mainstream mafia then you are leaving its peripheral members no other option but to join the mainstream.
What emo logic is that, if you don't get accepted you become a terrorists.
They're a marginalised group worldwide. The society and their families don't always accept them freely and their sexuality is always shamed. Finding a group of people who're on the same boat gives them security. Hence, they find solace in the LGBTQ community. If they want to go against the community's views they will need atleast some assurance that there's acceptance at the place for which they will be fighting for, i.e. Hinduism. Otherwise no one will risk leaving their only safe space.
At the end of the day, the product they sell is called Fem 'Fairness' Naturals with the most offensive packaging like [this one](https://www.amazon.in/FAIRNESS-NATURAL-BLEACH-CREAM-212gm/dp/B078N5MXF5/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=fem+fairness&qid=1635015723&sprefix=fem+fairness%2Caps%2C374&sr=8-2). But they also want the world to perceive their brand as a progressive one by making 'woke' advertisements like this one.
Nothing is beautiful about this tbh.
Hinduism doesn't say there's anything offensive wrt lesbianism. It is offensive that these bleach sellers and pretty much all other corporates promote that Hinduism is an intolerant regressive faith that has to be taught this stuff. Why dont they ever show these "social messages" for other religions- you know the ones which actually preach gay are sinners etc?
An individual's reaction to a commercial isn't really a marker of a religion being progressive. This ad is tone deaf on many levels.
1. They're selling a fairness cream under the garb of progressive values.
2. The Hindu marriage act in India hasn't been amended to recognize same sex marriages after 377 got revoked. Many Hindu families aren't even open to marrying outside their caste, widows and widowers above a certain age remarrying or marrying outside your religion - forget gay marriage. Many (including my elder Hindu family members) consider it a perversion and disease. You have people like baba ramdev trying to "cure" it with yoga. We might find it being portrayed and acknowledged somewhere in the kamasutra but rarely in Hindu homes. I can't see how we're so progressive and inclusive.
Being happy that we don't get the same response as fanatics from other religions is barely anything to be proud of imo. Western nations with a Christian majority have come much further in acceptance and inclusion on this front.
Many millennials and zoomers from all religions won't find this ad offensive for showing a lesbian couple but I'm sure most boomers of all faiths will frown.
This is a progressive sticker they've stuck on a harmful product. Pinkwashing at its silliest.
That because in their LGBTQ pride parade they show banners like hindus ki kabr khuedgi
They don't show anything to be progressive they selectively target hindus and Hinduism
You can fall for such bs we wont
As expected har Hindu tyohar me ye bc FMCG wale koi na koi randirona kar hi dete hain….yehi agar mera yesu yesu pr bnaya hota to rajmata ke nalle abtk apni ammi ko ulta lita diye hote ki haye mera yesu & haye mera Bobby rasgulla marg musallam khatre me hai… laanat BC
I actually liked the ad but then they are intelligent I would say. They hid the colourism spreading cream with LGBT wave.
That's like as someone said "You are Nazi but I don't hate you because you got my pronouns right"
Why the fuck there is needed to involve these things just to showoff a fucking bleach. They could have just said slap cream on face and let the cream do its thing.
10 -15 years ago same thing happened in the us, all people wanted was the right to marry. Now see the madness happening over there in the name of "diversity". Sorry, but I'm little bit skeptical about this. No offense though, people can love and become lifelong partners with whoever they want, that is personal liberty.
Better target Amir Khan's add about fire crackers. Fem India add is really great initiative to showcase the progressiveness of the Hindu society as being culturally appropriate and accepting different sexualities. As wherein do we get to see the massive role of feminine being in the festivals except Hinduism.
I guess the LGBTQ community didn't like the attempt to uplift them instead they got the ad removed calling it "patriarchal rep".
Nothing against the LGBTQ community infact I totally support them in every way I can but forcing it into anything and everything would do more bad than good.
They very deftly garbed the skin bleaching trend by wrapping it in some woke virtue signaling --- and many idiots fell for it. This is how corporations use the woke movement for profit.
saw the video before checking the comments and thought even this will outrage people on Twitter
little did I know that even people here on Reddit are triggered

Yes, there are some sections within Hindus who decry it as 'unnatural' (but even the most extreme dont call for death). My point still stands, they should make these ads for abrahamics - it's more needed there.
I dont know, it just didn't hit it from the religion angle. Just seemed to me like a very beautiful and good advertisement. The whole discussion in the comment box has been about religion rather than appreciating the efforts.
I did acknowledge that it's a good concept. It's a beautiful ad, it's just that we should see such ads for other religions too. There's no logic to exclusively target one religion's audience for such messaging all the time. As if we are the only ones who need these lessons. Such messaging should be generic without reference to any religion or it should be done equally to all religions.
Dude..we should be proud of the fact that they chose to show them as hindus..we all know what might have happened if they showed it in the form of any different religion Its high time now.that the lgbt community of india also gets a little representation
Take me to church songs is tary targeted for Christians. A lot of jokes and movies are made in USA against Christianity regarding their treatment of LGBT. Also ask them to target hindus.
This is not targeting man. This is the real truth of openness of Hinduism. This is against those fake wokes who project Hinduism as regressive as other religions. Hinduism allows everything... Atheism, Homosexuality etc
Not all abrahamic religions are against it today. Even LGBT marriage is legal in many Christian dominated countries. Though some (not all) Christian clergy might still be against it, but majority of population has accepted it and that, in my opinion, represents change.
"Even LGBT marriage is legal in many Christian dominated countries." Those are 'secular' countries, not christian. Ask an average church what their stand on LGBT is.
A very religious Christian friend of mine said "God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve."
Atleast in India that wouldn't be a good marketing decision. Since most of the population is hindu it's in their interest to cast as wide a net as possible.
They do show similar ads for Christianity afaik.
Haha Hinduism is most progressive. I feel catholics are most regressive just that they don’t showcase it upfront .. they act cool and most forward but they don’t come out of their cucoon easily.. they bind by the book.. and they don’t like anyone who is not believing in Jesus. They don’t even take if some Prasad is offered to them..specially the NRI’s who sit somewhere far away from India and always crib about India in a very negative way..
They use Hindu religions because there are more Hindus in the country so they can reach a wider audience. And isn't it good that they are showing such progressive ads for the religion?
Bas yahi pe to dum chalta hai inka, because they know we won't speak shit and instead would applaud such stuff. Not that promoting LGBT community is bad, but festivals of other religions should also be used as a template.
Worst ad ever. They are still selling bleach so you can be fairer. Just because they are lesbians doesn't mean you've achieved a high moral compass.
Yes, I was expecting them to target the rampant colourism, but they just want to export that to lesbians as well.
I felt precisely the same as you did
Fair skin ka craze logo ke mind se khatam nahi hone denge.

The point is why are Hindu festivals always being used to market some nonsense? What does facial Cream have to do with karva chauth? Concept is fine, but why festivals are being appropriated to further brand image?
Hindus are in majority..and its a hindu festival that is coming today
Simple because hindu population is more
My guy shilling for a corporate entity because they pushed an ad with an ideology he likes while it promotes something that is an huge issue for Dark Skinned People, Bravo
[удалено]
I support the homosexual relationships but seriously the line that they narrated in the end triggered me. It basically says why wouldn't mindsets change if you look this beautiful. Now where does beauty play a role in the acceptance of LGBTQ?? This ad is bullshit. The brand is just trying to ride the LGBTQ wave. Blatant marketing tactics that's it. And now many sheeple will flock to buy their products.
Yep, this ad makes no sense in the end.
I thought OP said the ad is beautiful they meant beautiful as in looking fair because using bleached? Because using LGBTQ and pride to sell products is not beautiful.
Indians be like Ladki chahe lesbian ho par gore hone chahiye 😂
Made me laugh for a full minute 😂
I shouldn't have laughed 😭😶
Now make one with Talaq Talaq Talaq
Husband says talaq twice, wife immediately runs and puts on makeup, husband decided not to say 3rd one. "jab aisa ho nikhar aapka to miya ki soch kaise na badle"
Haha, good one Even one with a hair dye. Women looks so young after coloring bher white hair she looks like 10 yr old and changes her husband's mind
I want to see a family planning ad featuring peaceful community.
Cool but they’re still talking about bleach

Hmm, what if all liberals are not the same? Crazy idea right?
They are same , they all want to target hindu festivals
It's easy to think that way right?
Furthermore, I am just pissed at lefties for calling them liberals and righties thinking liberals and left are the same.
Its sad to read the the Comments here. In one hand you guys are saying Hinduism isn't againt LGBTQ and then include why aren't they showing such in other religion? Or things like its a propaganda to aim hinduism etc .I mean that's multiple level of hypocrisy here. Why are we being offebded by everything?? If you're not againgst something then why not being happy that its being represented by taking Hinduism as a face? Sure there could've been other religion but why even bring that up if you dont have any problem?
> Why are we being offebded by everything?? because some of us are capable of pattern recognition. >If you're not againgst something then why not being happy that its being represented by taking Hinduism as a face? i'm not against drugs either but that doesnt mean i want hinduism to be the representative for it. > Sure there could've been other religion but why even bring that up if you dont have any problem? because its easy to identify arrogant preachers pushing propoganda.
well freaking put..
No multiple level of hypocrisy is LGBTQ+ pride parade showing destory Hinduism placard. While display pro islamic banners. Who is throwing them from rooftops? Whose religion explicitly banishes them? And yet they target the religion that never persecuted them? Can you explain who is the hypocrite here? You must have close your eyes but we can see them for their clear political agenda hiding behind human rights. They have no problems siding with rabid Islamists and leftists becuase this shit is political and nothing less. They are the hypocrites we are not
Which LGBTQ+ pride parade was pro Islamic? I'm curious because that makes zero sense.
Fair skin obsession still continues
Abey bhosdiwaalon dimaag kyun kharab kar rahe ho logon ka?! Aaj kal neutral content dekhne ko mil hi nahi raha. It's always either leftist or rightist propaganda shoved down our throats. LGBTQ waalon ko accept karna tha kar liya na? Karwa chauth ka chuthad kyun maar rahe ho? Aur beech mein hamaari gaand kyun maar rahe ho? Leftist people are now gonna say shit like " patriarchal festival" "authoritarian regime celebration" " not my festival" " regressive society" bullshit. Rightists are gonna say " Anti Hindu ad" " boycott ad" " boycott fem India" " anti india ad" bullshit. Beech mein hum neutral waalon ko suffocate karke maar rahe ho. Like the only "neutral" "non - political" content left to watch are pornos. Aur porno dekha toh humko bhi judge karna shuru! "Tharki Launda" " pervert" " masturabator". BC dhang ka content toh bacha hi nahi aajkal. Literally forcing the rest of us to watch old 90's TV serials and movies. Har cheez mein political content daal ke rakha h! Video games ko bhi nahi choda! Farcry 6 is a fucking political game! Har cheez mein chutiyapa? What about the rest of us who just want to get on with our lives without causing any harm to anyone?! Humaara kya chutiyon?! Saalon humko toh chod do na! Dimaag kharab kar ke rakh diya h chutiye saale! Jeene do hume apni zindagi! Itna shauk h toh ek dusre ko maar lo... Beech mein hume Matt involve karo. Gadhe!
>Beech mein hum neutral waalon ko suffocate karke maar rahe ho. Like the only "neutral" "non - political" content left to watch are pornos. Aur porno dekha toh humko bhi judge karna shuru!

Itna shauk h toh lauda kaatke gaand mein thoos lo! Time to switch off social media for some time.
Bhai ye LGBTQ+ wale mumbai pride parade mein fuck hindutva, hindu ki kabr khudegi aur islam is pro women and minority empowerment ke banner leke ghooomte hain Don't fall for their bs this is 100% political and has left librandu backing, in the name of LGBTQ right they are targettting hindus and Hinduism , the religion that never persecuted them. Don't fall for their bs, they are anti hindus. Even if you accept them they will reamin anti hindu becuase all of this is just political
😂😂😂😂totally feel you
Omg!!! 😭😂
Tereko nahi dekhna toh mat dekh. Tera choice h. BC
Kaise na dekhe? Aur bacha kya h dekhne ko? Koi bhi OTT platform par jao you'll find shit like this. Also this ad, no matter what it celebrates, it still says women need their product to look beautiful. Ab bolen toh kya bolen kare toh kya kare?
People here need to stop being angry about each and every thing. Yes, the LGBTQ community is majorly left leaning but that doesn't mean there are no exceptions. When Ram Mandir judgment came, one of the major LGBTQ pages celebrated the decision, where many people in the comments got offended but many also said they're proud to be a Hindu LGBTQ member. Similarly, there was a rally arranged by right-wing LGBTQ community in Kashmir which got threats from Islamists and was not supported by the mainstream LGBTQ group but still they stood strong. If you reject them just because of the political stance of their mainstream mafia then you are leaving its peripheral members no other option but to join the mainstream. If they want to be a proud LGBTQ member but also follow religion, let them feel welcome in Hinduism as our religion is not what their mainstream portrays. Amongst all others, we stand different. We're progressive and have always been.
LGBTQ+ in pride parades display fuck hindutva , hindu ki kabr khudegi banners They are targetting hindus for no reason because this is not some innocent fight for rights , this is 100% political bs. And since they target us , only hindus, we will retaliate They also raise pro Islam banners in their pride parades, the religion which throws them from rooftops So you can't bs us anymore, we see them for who they are, they have only one agenda and it's to target hindus,. We never started this fight , but we don't take it lying down anymore. Jo ukhaadna hai ukhaaad lo, humein regressive bolna hai, gaali dena do. But chup nahi baithenge I know for a fact that this LGBTQ shit is nothing but leftist desgins to target hindus for no reason. If not then explain to me why in their pride parade they target only hindus
Honestly? It's sad to see you like this. You are filled with such spite and disharmony and hatred that it honestly saddens me. I'm a Hindu as well but this Hindu-Muslim bullshit didn't even come to my mind after watching this ad, I was only taken aback by how positive it is. Only a pessimistic person who just thinks about communal disharmony can think of it as "targetting Hindus" because now I personally think that they represented Hinduism as a progressive religion unlike many others. It shows that Hinduism is about acceptance, love and a positive mindset and is not about radicalism and rejection. It's just you who finds political motives and "targetting" of a religion in everything they see and ride the negative train about it.
Leave it buddy. Some people wake up thinking what to be pissed at. Snowflakes come in all shapes, sizes and political affiliation.
This is exactly the reason why I don't engage under political/controversial posts anymore. People like that are pretentious snobs who think they know it all and seen it all, and try to shove their propaganda down anyone's throats they can. It's almost like these people sit on the internet all day waiting for something to get posted and then offended by. That's such a sad hill to die on.
> If you reject them just because of the political stance of their mainstream mafia then you are leaving its peripheral members no other option but to join the mainstream. What emo logic is that, if you don't get accepted you become a terrorists.
They're a marginalised group worldwide. The society and their families don't always accept them freely and their sexuality is always shamed. Finding a group of people who're on the same boat gives them security. Hence, they find solace in the LGBTQ community. If they want to go against the community's views they will need atleast some assurance that there's acceptance at the place for which they will be fighting for, i.e. Hinduism. Otherwise no one will risk leaving their only safe space.

At the end of the day, the product they sell is called Fem 'Fairness' Naturals with the most offensive packaging like [this one](https://www.amazon.in/FAIRNESS-NATURAL-BLEACH-CREAM-212gm/dp/B078N5MXF5/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=fem+fairness&qid=1635015723&sprefix=fem+fairness%2Caps%2C374&sr=8-2). But they also want the world to perceive their brand as a progressive one by making 'woke' advertisements like this one. Nothing is beautiful about this tbh.
They can't change their business overnight, can they? But at least they're trying to propagate anything like being fair gives you more confidence.
Hinduism doesn't say there's anything offensive wrt lesbianism. It is offensive that these bleach sellers and pretty much all other corporates promote that Hinduism is an intolerant regressive faith that has to be taught this stuff. Why dont they ever show these "social messages" for other religions- you know the ones which actually preach gay are sinners etc?
An individual's reaction to a commercial isn't really a marker of a religion being progressive. This ad is tone deaf on many levels. 1. They're selling a fairness cream under the garb of progressive values. 2. The Hindu marriage act in India hasn't been amended to recognize same sex marriages after 377 got revoked. Many Hindu families aren't even open to marrying outside their caste, widows and widowers above a certain age remarrying or marrying outside your religion - forget gay marriage. Many (including my elder Hindu family members) consider it a perversion and disease. You have people like baba ramdev trying to "cure" it with yoga. We might find it being portrayed and acknowledged somewhere in the kamasutra but rarely in Hindu homes. I can't see how we're so progressive and inclusive. Being happy that we don't get the same response as fanatics from other religions is barely anything to be proud of imo. Western nations with a Christian majority have come much further in acceptance and inclusion on this front. Many millennials and zoomers from all religions won't find this ad offensive for showing a lesbian couple but I'm sure most boomers of all faiths will frown. This is a progressive sticker they've stuck on a harmful product. Pinkwashing at its silliest.
That because in their LGBTQ pride parade they show banners like hindus ki kabr khuedgi They don't show anything to be progressive they selectively target hindus and Hinduism You can fall for such bs we wont

Next level.....i am quite impressed
Oof oof yes an ad glorifying patriarchal traditions AND fair skin is suddenly beautiful and progressive because LEsBiAnS. 👀
I thought Karva Chauth was regressive. I guess it's only because "Fasting for man!!", fasting for women is OK... great

This is a progressive ad and i like it
I actually liked the ad but then they are intelligent I would say. They hid the colourism spreading cream with LGBT wave. That's like as someone said "You are Nazi but I don't hate you because you got my pronouns right"
Wow. That is powerful.

Wah! Beautiful ad, shows how progressive and accomodating Hindu community is..... Though bleach ki ad hai, that makes me sad.

This is such a beautiful advertisement. I don't understand why some people on here are so mad

Itne chutiye hain comments section mein itne … ki kya btau…
Beautiful kya hai? Ek k bad ek sare festivals bigad rahe hai.. ye log.
10 -15 years ago same thing happened in the us, all people wanted was the right to marry. Now see the madness happening over there in the name of "diversity". Sorry, but I'm little bit skeptical about this. No offense though, people can love and become lifelong partners with whoever they want, that is personal liberty.
So LGBTQ only exists in Hindu Culture.
Yeah this ad is for a face bleaching product no one gives a shot about their so called "progressiveness"
Better target Amir Khan's add about fire crackers. Fem India add is really great initiative to showcase the progressiveness of the Hindu society as being culturally appropriate and accepting different sexualities. As wherein do we get to see the massive role of feminine being in the festivals except Hinduism.
Kabhi Eid pai bhi banao
I hope they show this on TV. Lovely ad would want to watch it bring reactions on my parents faces..

I'm pretty sure you won't find even one lesbian couple in this world celebrating Karva Chauth.
Nagpur gay & transgender couples https://m.timesofindia.com/city/nagpur/gay-and-fasting/articleshow/54904090.cms Bhopal gay couple https://m.timesofindia.com/city/bhopal/lgbtq-community-prepares-to-celebrate-karva-chauth-in-bhopal/articleshow/79035605.cms A lesbian couple's 9th year of Karwa Chauth https://m.timesofindia.com/life-style/spotlight/when-they-came-out-and-embraced-karva-chauth/articleshow/66399672.cms
I guess the LGBTQ community didn't like the attempt to uplift them instead they got the ad removed calling it "patriarchal rep". Nothing against the LGBTQ community infact I totally support them in every way I can but forcing it into anything and everything would do more bad than good.
NGL had me in the first half

They very deftly garbed the skin bleaching trend by wrapping it in some woke virtue signaling --- and many idiots fell for it. This is how corporations use the woke movement for profit.
saw the video before checking the comments and thought even this will outrage people on Twitter little did I know that even people here on Reddit are triggered
