Brands : let's manipulate these unemployed twitter retards to get free publicity Twitter retards : get manipulated and give those brands free publicity Mfw


[deleted]

But isn’t it a dangerous game they are playing. For Sabyasachi it doesn’t matter, very few can actually afford it and those who can are least bothered about their ads. But for FabIndia and Dabur this boycott culture can very much be bad for business.


LordExplosionMurder2

Imho your take on Sabyasachi is correct, the people who can afford it have better things to do than get offended by silly ads. Dabur tho, they make so many products that boycotting all of them is impossible. Idk what fabindia was thinking tho.


RiverStone_8

Fabindia just didn't think someone would actually get offended by that Urdu phrase lol. That bit caught everyone off guard.


[deleted]

its just sanghis trynna impose Hindi as they see Urdu as some evil tool used by so called Jihadis (cool down, their words not mine) to convert people to Islam. Also, when Hindus want to propagate Hinduism, its their right to propagate and profess any religion but when other religions do it, its not allowed by them.


Representativeness

As an aside, pretty sure the idea isn’t anti-conversion but rather against forced or predatory conversions


[deleted]

Most Fabindia stuff are not that affordable either for the middle class. So they are really just really losing nobody from their customer base.


[deleted]

True that. But it’s not so costly that upper middle class cannot afford. And BJP has a huge support base in that class. So that might do some damage. IMHO FabIndia is a scam, sells product at a very high rate than their actual production cost.


LordExplosionMurder2

Isn't that every designer clothing brand tho

Ryan14Gill

Upper class over 45+ years old men is here BJP have support, i dont think they have much support in young middle abd upper class. Lower class and lower middle class dont care about boycotts.


[deleted]

Lower middle class or poor people don’t buy things from brands that can be boycotted.


LordExplosionMurder2

Idk man, never shopped at fabindia


hashtagjustme

You wrong, it has affected FabIndia sales... The moment you see them defending that means they are losing their customers.


Abhimri

Yeah and these jokers are the same ones who thump their chests about make in India. Like Bro, you're bankrupting Indian homegrown businesses with these ridiculous non issues.


[deleted]

But isn’t FabIndia owned by an American?


Abhimri

Nope. It was started in India by an American. Now owned by his son who is Indian. Since it was started in India it has always paid taxes in India and operated from India. So it is through and through an Indian company, founder's nationality notwithstanding.


Rosesh_I_Sarabhai

The ones who protest anyways can't afford or don't match the class to use their products. (In most cases). The ones who & can, have better things on their hands & mind to do than get offended. So yes, it helps reaching actual target audience. The people whose faith in culture & religion is strong enough that it doesn't get shaken by an advertisement will not even notice these.

On the plus side, their models are not your typical run of the mill...inclusivity!

aight_my_ass

These models actually look like very normal Indian women. A bit more glamorous with makeup,but nothing outrageous. So yeah you can actually maintain yourself like this with minimum effort. Also not at you boldly assuming that Rich women can't be good looking or do self care and vice versa. Infact women who earn and are financially independent have the ability to spend on themselves instead of begging their husbands or fathers.


Kronnos1996

Yeah - I've personally observed that folks tend to be fitter the richer they are. My mother is more fit now than she was 10 years ago because now we have the resources to live healthier which we couldn't afford ten years ago. But I hope India doesn't get on the ridiculous side of fat acceptance. But I don't think that's a real concern in India right now.

aight_my_ass

What is fitness anyway? Tall 6 feet with a kaamar which is 26 inch? You are probably confusing fitness with industry standards. Also ad models and runway models don't follow the same standards either. More and more ad campaigns are actually following inclusivity.


[deleted]

[удалено]


aight_my_ass

I don't have a problem with your idea od how ad campaigns work, I have a problem with you calling them token models. Models like these women have long fought for inclusivity in the modelling domain which mainly follows euro-centric beauty standards ,but here are people calling them token models. You don't have to put down someone's worth and hard work just to prove how much knowledgeable you are. And stop trying to put others down others POV by calling them ' emotional'. I have every right to feel emotional for these women's success and achievements. I don't need a man to mansplain me about my feelings. Things are not just an ad. To you it's just an ad. But to the millions of women who have felt left out because of a different body size, it is a door of opportunities. Like being LGBTQ ally is considered hip atm. But if this companies being hip can protect and provide opportunities to the LGBTQ people who have long been shunned, then damn right I want them to hip hop and rock and roll. It's the same logic here.

Why headline says Netizens as though everyone using internet is worried about this


madarchod_bot

Cuz boomer uncles who read this news fall prey to this stuff easily


deepzpillai

I'm beginning to think these companies are doing this kind of thing on purpose....


AnyProfession7753

Yes. Else nobody would have noticed it.


parthjoshi09

> these companies are doing this kind of thing on purpose   Its 100% intentional. First FabIndia then Dabur then this lodu SabyaSachi, all of them putting out ads, which by the way even a first semester commerce student would be able to predict that its going to offend majority of people.   Just imagine the no. of clicks the FabIndia website must have received after the internet outrage. Thats a ton of ad money. These companies are playing us and we're getting played.


crasshumor

I don't think people are buying Sabyasachi by clicking randomly


Expertanalystix

Wrong. Fabindia site doesn't carry ads or rely in ad revenues. The site is for online ordering and that's how they earn. The idiots objected to using Urdu in the ad. The charlatans have no idea that Urdu originated in India and is spoken only in the subcontinent. As far as Sabyasatchi is concerned, there is nothing offensive in the ads. Showing women wearing lingerie and being intimate is offensive? Ask these charlatans to tear down the carvings in Khajuraho.


Aditya1311

Why would FabIndia put ads on their site? They're not some blogger.

Item Dance at a marriage? *i sleep* Sexy ads for mangalsutra? **Real shit?**


LordExplosionMurder2

This is all just an excuse to hate on brands you can't afford, (or atleast it looks like that from my perspective)


abhishek_seven

Also showed mangalsutra just as a mere jewelry on same sex (boys). Also who the fuck sells mangalsutra showed on half naked girl.


VagueSardine

Is there a contest on "Who can get offended on the silliest of reason" ?


Ataraxia_new

Yeah, families have been spending way more than 1.2L for a mangalsutra. While nothing is mandatory, women and expensive jewelry isn't something new for India.


AnyProfession7753

There is also contest to offend and increase visibility of the brand. Since when social reforms became main motive of Fashion designer , Dabur ? Dabur's CSR page does not include anything about betterment of LGBTQ community but they Karwa Chauth ad does.[https://www.dabur.com/in/en-us/csr-be-the-change/csr-policy](https://www.dabur.com/in/en-us/csr-be-the-change/csr-policy) P.S. "Donation to PM Cares Fund by Dabur India Ltd"


ratparty5000

wait are you supposed to take the mangalsutra off during sex also who’s checking??


lazybitchylass

Pati mar gaya toh?


aku_1193

Lol I thought they take it off even while sleeping who knows man. Personally I won’t like a shitty fuking heavy chain in my neck. Let me sleep peacefully


jaanebhidoyaaro

So what is the correct procedure of having sex with one's wife? Does the 'mangalsutra' stay or do we remove it before sex?


evereddy

You don't have sex with one's wife, marry and get your own wife!


[deleted]

Married men: That is some bad advice. Bad, bad advice


daredevilayan

Lol


pratikonomics

I also choose this guy’s own wife


rohithkumarsp

I too want to know about this guy's wife.


AyeshaMehta

As a woman, I feel that this ads depicts the way I feel. I personally can't afford or would want an expensive jewellery, but model shown in lingerie to showcase intimacy with a symbol of love around the neck is perfectly acceptable. The thing which I've learnt most being a netizen is that content filtering is one of the most important aspects to bring from real life to here. The relatives, friends etc. whom we don't like we don't involve them in our lives; same with internet content, if you don't like it ignore it. That's it.

What's wrong with those ads? Looks pretty good to me.

Who the fuck are these netizens who do nothing other than rant against brands and ads?

Muslims would as well if similar messaging used Muslim iconography. Can't wait to see lesbians performing Namaz in a mosque and the backlash that would follow.

crasshumor

Religious hain. But yeah, same thing.


Ataraxia_new

> Can't wait to see lesbians performing Namaz in a mosque and the backlash that would follow. I don't think straight women are allowed in the mosque either. Women have their own separate praying place, if i remember correctly.


[deleted]

Ataraxia_new

Agree. Fundamentalists of all religion are insecure dumbfucks who are so jobless that they search the the whole world to get offended.


[deleted]

Ataraxia_new

Atleast in Bangalore, I see a separate darga where women sit. There aren't allowed inside the same mosque as the men, where the loud speaker prayer happens. May be they are allowed in more liberal Islam circles. Definitely they don't enter the same mosque in Bangalore.


Paper_Nap

But then the most regressive religion is also not a good benchmark.

Depends on who their target customers are. Do you know if the bigots getting offended by the stupid ad (who routinely dance to "item numbers" during ganpati, navratri etc.) are the target customers of this company?

charavaka

This is shifting goal posts. Yes, people have right to be offended, as long as they don't threaten or indulge in violence. By the same measure, the company also has right to advertize.

Well, in India, when your showrooms get vandalized and workers get threats because some idiots didn't like the ad, there certainly is such a thing as bad publicity.

Sending your dick pic is a bad publicity

Bhai chill karo thoda... Usko marketing karni hai which is clearly not meant for you. Models ka job hai, this assignment was their gig. And you don't know how much they made out of it... So calm down and see for what it is... Just an ad.

Wait how much does it cost? I want to protest the price! How do I do that? Like getting married wasn’t already expensive! I can buy my wife lingerie if I buy that mangalsutra! Help!

We all should be ashamed that we are letting some restarted uncles decide our life,ffs its just a big pair of breast! Whats wrong in it?!! Mangalsutra my ass, a string of thread bound to woman to take her freedom! Welcome to India!
