Razor company Braun faces backlash for featuring trans man in ad

Razor company Braun may be the next company to face a boycott, as backlash mounts to a resurfaced ad featuring a trans male with visible mastectomy scars.

In a Braun Series X Hybrid Trimmers ad posted on the bottom of the company’s website, a shirtless man with scar lines under his breasts can be seen using the product to apparently shave his face.

The shaving accessory is advertised as being for beard hair, body hair and head hair.

As the photo was again circulated online, X users slammed the company for promoting sex change operations — and have begun to call for a boycott.

So many TV ads now attempt to normalize deviant behavior.

Two men kissing in the ads for the Big Pharma drug to slow HIV. Male couples in ads for various other goods and services.

They’re pushing it all every day now.

I don’t get why so many companies are following bud over the cliff. I don’t care how much was in the marketing pipeline, anyone with any sense would pull the plug. I guess it’s just babies the left will abort.

Apparently, corporations just keep hiring the same marketing teams out of college.

At what point do they come up with a different strategy?

I’m guessing this is yet another example of corporate cowardice. One lunatic at a Braun meeting suggests using a transsexual in an ad campaign.

Everyone else present knows how bad, really bad, that idea is. But they’re afraid to speak up, and be called a hater. So the next thing you know, Braun is using a transsexual in an ad campaign.

As someone noted elsewhere, they starting boycotting Braun a long time ago as their products are overpriced and underperforming.

The marketing people in these companies think that all this homosexual and transgender business is normal.

Since they think it’s normal, they don’t see anything wrong or objectionable about this sort of advertising.

If anything they probably see themselves as expanding the market. Instead of just marketing to strictly heterosexual men ,they’re trying to get other sectors of society to buy their product.

And since all these marketing people are liberak, they take the position that anybody who might object to any of this are homophobic, sexist, etc as per Hillary’s screed about Trump supporters.

You know what, if it was comic cross dressing thing like Milton Beryl or Monty Pithon used to do it might be a good advertisement.

A few months ago I gave up on big name, woke shaving companies. I now wet shave using a double edged safety razor. The safety razor and blades are manufactured in America. Double edge blades cost ~$15 per one hundred. That’s two years of shaving for $15. It’s also a very close shave. All these multi-blade disposable razors are marketing bull crap and are aimed at “the best shave a trans can get.” They don’t shave nearly as close as a double edge safety razor.

There is no such thing as a “trans man”. This is a woman who had her breasts cut off and had doctors inject her with testosterone. In other words, a mentally ill woman.

PR Firms and Ad Agencies need to look like America and NOT like a Gay Bathhouse...

Companies need to tell their ad agencies they can run their own ads for trans but NOT to use THEIR company's ad money to push a sexual weirdo agenda.
