[QUOTE="Teedub, post: 1179652, member: 4257"] I was going to put this in another thread but it seems most apt to put it here...there's a tendency on here to attribute to conspiracy what can more accurately be attributed to general societal liberalism and other factors. In these multinational corporations' marketing department, there isn't some direct hotline to an (((internationalist))). Like with Hollywood movies, lots of it is capitalist-consumerist box ticking. "How many people can we market this product to?" In an advert, you've got a couple of minutes, so if they can target blacks, whites, Muslims, men, women etc all at once, they will. Now this is one side of things. The other side, which I suspect most have more of an issue with is who staffs these marketing departments. Well, they're always mixed-sex for a start, so already men will quieten down for fear of being out-grouped as a racist/sexist/homophobe etc. These 'lets include everyone' adverts are usually the idea of some idealist marketing woman, new graduates who just parrot what said marketing woman says, etc. All this is compounded by the fear of the surrounding men who don't want to say "that's bullshit". I know, I've worked in the marketing departments of big companies, and I've inadvertently been part of you-go-girl advertising campaigns, much to my chagrin. There's a groupthink that's completely toxic in these industries, a general postmodern (and nihilistic, happiness at all costs ... being uncomfortable is the worst thing in the world) idealism - but it's a lot more bottom-up, than top-down, in my experience. Nowhere has this kind of multiculti-feminist groupthink been worse than in London, which is why I left both job and city pretty quickly.
