What happened to advertising/posters??

IN SHORT: Advertising should actually advertise and not be promoting other random stuff. Pre 2013 nailed this, so yeah, copy and paste pre 2013 advertising styles.

Pre 2013, I would see epic posters/advertising on walls/bus shelters etc. They'd be in your face, foul/slang language, naked women/ripped hulks posing, random text and it ends up being eyecatching. Sometimes I'd walk up to them and read it, perhaps even look it up online.

(I get the whole racism/gay/random community awareness, but blasting in my face at every opportunity is a bit much.)

Post 2013 has posters/advertising being heavily gay/unmasculine. Look at adverts for clothes, TV shows, holiday places, cars, shaving stuff, sponsors, games, music, online markets, ANYTHING. Poofy pink colours/sparkly with some blatantly average person (almost always a low test guy (guy?)) in the ad. Not to mention the horrendous angles they point at the actors, I swear I just want to knock them out. They're trying to convince me of something that has nothing to do with the company/whatever whilst clearly trying their 100% best to not offend anyone, which is so funny, but also offputting. I mean, that is not what an advert is all about lol.

Like, what happened to chucking in hot supermodels and above average people as the posers? Noisy blasting obnoxious music with huge text. I swear I remember they had Jessica Simpson washing a car in a bikini with other models just to advertise a burger LOL!

Look at how they advertise this videogame. They've got a wrestler, a blonde nurse model and yeah. Badass and to the point.




It's weird, as current culture for adverts is to have the most diverse people ever and push it in my face, be incredibly unmasculine/be really fanny like and have me walk off the second it turns on.


Seriously, when I look around post 2013, I'm just plain disappointed about adverts/posters. Before 2012ish, they were so creative and it looked like genuine fun. Wasn't anything to overthink aswell, as it was the norm.




But yeah, the old advertising world was a ton better than the current loony trash. It had everything it needed without being weird/unnecessary.

Examples of advertising that's eye catching/useful. You can see how hardcore and badass they are, having a ripped spartan/ultrawhore on front.

Just look at the thumbnails of those videos let alone the content. That girly/soft low test stuff would never have passed in the pre 2013 world. Would've been laughed at a ton.

The woke people in the company suggest some propaganda ad and it's heresy to tell them they're dumb and that they're ad won't appeal to the target audience. Companies are no longer making ditectly profit-driven decisions.

Lol!! That's very true, said it perfectly man. I remember telling my mother years ago that there needs to be a bully in school for each year group, this would keep everyone in line as to learn that you can't **** around in the adult world. I got slapped/screamed at lol.

But it's kind of true and the results these days showcase how some of these whiney clowns never got their heads bashed in during school.

Target audience man, I mean, we're going around in an infinite loop since they're both fannytarded clowns.

That's crazy talk.

Yeah, years ago I just never saw it coming. Like these just seem like such ridiculous/backwards logic nonsense ideas.

I say this all the time, but 2010 people would've obliterated the average/above average person in 2021.

The more I look back at pre 2012 the more I wonder if we merged timelines or something

They couldn't make those real men of genius commercials nowadays either. Its like everything is now suddenly pussified and generic.

The 90s and most of the 2000s was like a dream world compared to now

Yeah exactly, it's crazy because the examples that we're pointing out are small portion out of the theoretical volume of post 2012 shifts. Like, there are far too many examples to choose from, and why does it all dial back to 2012 or the 2011-2014 era?

Remember those Terry Crews "old spice" commercials? Those were insane.

Honestly, I couldn't imagine 2013+ (let alone 2021) recreating anything from pre 2013 without having a heavily fragile/not serious/***got aura to it. It is a nightmare because 2013+ is somehow designed to cater to everything I hate. Lol

I can't even imagine a new gta game nowadays. I don't think gta 5 could be released today and it came out in 2013. That's probably why they haven't made a new one yet. 8 years now and they can't make it because it would hurt people's feelings lol

Haha! The issues that came with Gta 5 in 2013 were understandable. They said the n word all the time and it was unsuitable for kids. Fair enough, it's 18 rated. Couldn't imagine the horrendous amount of issues that'll come with Gta 6 if it releases lol!

Actually, I don't usually like posting the stuff that I complain about cos it's embarrassing. However, have u seen the "boohoo" ads? Whenever I watch Jackass or whatever, this boohoo trash comes up a few seconds before the show starts. (I think they sponsor MTV) Oh man is it the most beta/gay/weird/unmasculine 0 testosterone 15 seconds of sponsored viewing time.

It's just so absurd, and the population definitely takes that as serious and copies their behaviour/clothing design/attitude. It's so absurd.

It's so weird. Pre 2013 never had anything like this.

Like, the ads look so awkward yet it's in a studio with high paying actors? The music accentuates the unmasculinity big time.

A good way of noticing this is to literally look around online. Compare 2010 videos with 2021 videos. Compare 2010 celebrities with 2021 celebrities etc. It's painfully obvious.

Yeah I don't get it and it seems like 99% of people are oblivious to the change around 2013. How did we get in this anti masculine culture? From the 60s when clint Eastwood was popular to 2012ish I don't remember this being the culture at all. Each decade was full of masculine role models and celebrities. Now you have people like beiber and lil gay Nas as the role models

It's definitely a widespread culture thing. Ie, it's not just 1 thing as we can see, it's anything and everything that's been infected by the post 2013 shift.

Yeah exactly, the celebrities before 2013 weren't even so bad to read about honestly. When they'd come up online or in a conversation, I wouldn't mind. These days I can't stand the weirdness emitting from these clowns.

Did u see my response above about the boohoo ads and whatever? What do u think about that? Lots of culture is identical to that in day to day life.

I'll post it, then I'll take it down. (It's not offensive/inappropriate lol, but it creeps me out a bit and it's just plain embarrassing)

Basically any advertising really, but this company really zeroes in on the weirdness of it all.
It's just unnecessarily feminine/?????

Haha it was hot as heck. These days girls are just copy and paste boring lookalikes.
