i think its very sexy how millennials are very anti-ad. like. ads were invented to encourage us to buy stuff. but me and all my friends? if we see an ad for something it fills us with rage. a pure hatred. if you interrupt my twitch stream or my stupid TV show for you stupid product i will hate you product for the end of time. i will spit on it whenever i see it. your ad doesn’t work on me. it doesn’t make me want to buy your shitty thing. it makes me want to piss on your shitty thing. fuck you ad companies.
ad companies: i know what we’ll do. we’ll make short video segments that show our product is a positive way so we live an invisible, subconscious imprint on the viewers mind that our product is Good, so that when they see it when they are out they’re more inclined to buy it
millennials: i dont drink monster, no. i was trying to watch an esports twitch stream and every 10 seconds monster got advertised to me. now everytime i see or think about monster, i am filled with a vile rage. i will never drink monster as long as i lie. i fucking hate monster so much
Don’t be fooled, we’re just as much of a sucker for ads as the older generations. They just need to be delivered in the right way. We’re way pickier.
An ad that interrupts a video? Fuck that noise. A sponsored post that has nothing to do with anything? God, I hate those, please hide them.
Someone we follow talking about squarespace in the middle of a podcast, without actually reading a script, just saying stuff about it? Decent, fair
Denny’s spending years posting stuff to an actually well-constructed shitpost blog on Tumblr?
We eat that shit up.
(Preferably at Denny’s.)
An actually good viral video that is an ad for something? But like, the ad is secondary to the funniness or cleverness or virality of the video? Like. Superbowl ads continue to be popular to this day.
this is a good chance to make this abundantly clear to everyone reading this:
every corporate account on tumblr, twitter, facebook, etc– ANY social media, is not your friend.
they are copying our memes because they want to seem like your friend. because if you see dennys making a funny meme post that you share with your friends and you all laugh, what are you gonna do when you’re hungry tomorrow? that’s right. you’ll go hey, lets go to dennys!
ad companies are smart. you have to be smarter. no business, company, or corporate account is your friend. all they want is your money. they will do anything to obtain your money. they will lie, trick, dance, laugh, party, and meme with you if it means that you look fondly at them and give them your money.
it’s not enough for us to just sneer at old-school ads. stop interacting with tumblr accounts made by brands. don’t reblog their posts. block them. tell your friends to do the same. blacklist their brand name. do the same on twitter. as soon as you see them, turn you back. give them NO attention.
social media is a place for us, individual people, to gather. do not allow these monstrous corporate entities into OUR place. you wouldn’t let a dude dressed as a monster can come into your home and try to sell your their shitty energy piss drink, so why are you letting them do it on your social media?
no ads are good ads. no corporate business is a good one. no brand is your friend. no brand cares about you. they only want your money.
As someone who works in ads for a living, if you’re pandering to generations under 40 it’s all about sponsorships, influencers (totally a bubble but incredibly effective) native ads and native search.
Anyone over 40 is a gullible rube who will believe anything from anyone, anywhere, so long as you lace it with a bit of sweetness and it comes from a “trusted source” like fucking Murdoch rags or whatever
I’ve seen a few posts and shit of people being really angry with Hazbin Hotel because it contains characters who are LGBT. This isn’t your usual homophobic bs. In fact, in all fairness, these people are trying to support and defend the LGBT community. They’re offended because of the number of LGBT characters that make up the shows cast and where it takes place.
They believe that simply having LGBT characters in hell implies that they’re in hell because they’re LGBT, and that they deserve to be in hell because they’re LGBT.
Now, I’m not one to bash people for having an opinion, especially as I’m about to share my own, but I think this is entirely false and here’s why.
You could look at any one of Hazbin Hotel’s characters and see exactly why they’re in hell and it hasn’t got anything to do with who they fuck or if they fuck at all.
Vaggie is violent as fuck. She’s always in attack mode and she will fuck you up the moment you cross her. And she’s probably murderous too. She certainly knows how to use her weapons and she actually has the exact same weapon those archangel things use to kill demons. Not to mention, the moment anyone goes near her or Charlie, she’s poised to kill. Even if they’re not even trying to be threatening, like the time Nifty picked up Charlie. She will basically stab you first and ask questions later.
Angel is from a fucking mafia. He had no problem causing genocide in the pilot and he probably killed loads of people in life too.
Sir pentious is power hungry. He craves it and it’s safe to assume he doesn’t care how he gets it.
And Alastor. Well, Alastor’s fucked. There’s no other way of putting that.
The only exception to this is Charlie, who’s lovely, but she’s only in hell because she was born there.
I’m a part of the LGBT community. In fact, I’m one of the people whose sexuality arguably gets shat on the most. The ones that “can’t make their mind up” or are “likely to be unfaithful” because we date men and women. I know how much shit we get just for being ourselves but being LGBT doesn’t automatically grant someone sainthood and make them a good person. And if we get to see Hazbin Hotel’s version of heaven, I’m sure we will see just as many LGBT people there as we did in hell. Putting LGBT characters in a fictional hell is not homophobic. Unless it’s some propaganda shit show, where it’s blatant gay people are in hell because they’re gay. If not, then it’s simply realistic.
Don’t forget, Katie Killjoy is also in Hell and she’s homophobic. So, Viv ain’t making some stupid statement. That’s just how it works. If you’re a shit person and have done a lot of shitty things, you’re maybe going to Hell, regardless of sexuality.
