A video of a based Asian woman tearing down woke ads for the dating site OKCupid went viral several days ago. Mirror of original video here for those that missed it.
This article from Muse, a site geared toward advertisers and marketers, displays more of the ads and they're pretty freaking creepy. The article also talks about the man behind the campaign. That guy previously did ads for OKC several years ago.
Tagged NSFW because who wants their boss to see this??? X-post from plebbit kia2.
Man, they're so creepy that I'm pretty certain the agnostic-me of 8 years ago would agree they're Satanic.
Yeah it's a "provocative" ad run, they're nothing new, and Christians have undoubtedly called other ads or other mass-media satanic too. But I can't think of a run I've ever seen that just oozed "this is wrong" from every pore of its being.
It's a bit strange, but I think the context makes a bit more sense.
As I understand it, one of Christ's strongest apostles approaches him and tells him not to go to Jerusalem because he is sure to die. That someone else should go, so that he may live. Christ rejects this and accepts the responsibility of likely dying for the salvation of all mankind. He rejects this by saying something closer to "Get behind me, deceiver." As if to say: "You are not acting like yourself. Get back in line, follow me and support me to my destiny; and do no try to dissuade me from my responsibility."
The phrase has taken on a mystical form as later interpretations see the apostle as being possessed by Satan as a last ditch effort to stop Christ from saving mankind. In this incarnation, Christ sees the efforts of Satan, and literally calls him out. In this way, Christ is identifying that the apostle's loss of faith in Jesus's destiny is the work of Satan to actually stop him.
I like this interpretation a bit more because it poses a very interesting psychological dynamic. The lord of darkness, true evil, an apparently insurmountable force, can simply be called out and rejected. That evil is a choice. Christ didn't use any real magical incantations, he just called Satan's bluff.
To a Christian, this can be seen as the actual power of Christ in Christians. In the face of the most powerful evil to ever exist, all you have to do is command it to fuck off. That simple choice is enough to defeat the most powerful machinations of the most evil things to ever exist.
Now sure, you can't just use it as a magical incantation to not get shot or something, but it exists to remind you that the path of evil and darkness can simply be avoided by rejecting it as soon as you see it. It is an incredibly empowering statement, that could be summarized as "fuck off, devil".
First of all, I did not expect a detailed reply to my jokey comment. However, I appreciate it.
That evil is a choice.
This is the thing. From what I have read in the Bible, this is the thing. We all have a choice.
I really don't like the view that people do evil because of demon possession, or something that denies human agency. That absolves individuals of their guilt and casts them as meat puppets in a play put on by powers to which they cannot help but to submit.
In my understanding of Christianity, the whole point is that we are free to choose, so there is no out with "the Devil made me do it," there is only the choice you have made, for which you are responsible.

yeah, it's a bit of mysticism to explain the emotional pull of doing things that are going to get you into trouble.
"When you're truly inclusive, you're bound to offend someone"
Actual words of the woke director of advertising.
So... I guess there's no point in safe spaces, because when you're inclusive, you're bound to offend someone anyways, so if you're offended, it's safe and inclusive.
When are they going to change their name due to promotion of rape culture? Cupid shoots arrows at people without their consent that forces them to submit to sex. They might as well be called OKDateRape.
If the fucking normies would just strike back- which I guess they sort of did in this case but also stop giving this trash their money. General normie strike!
It really is a whitepill. Not only was she tearing the ads down, but the people in the car were agreeing with her! I could've sworn I saw 1 or 2 even start helping out!
After a quick look at her Instagram, of course the director of the campaign is a white woman with a white husband living in a white zipcode. Let the working class deal with the clash of civilizations in their own neighbourhoods.
OkCupid has always been on the forefront of inclusivity in the dating app realm. It has included 22 gender identities and 20 sexual orientations, but it has now added more ways to be you. There are now more than 60 identities a people can choose
fire.
Why are the vegetarians eating cakes with gelatin in them? fail veganism lmao
"When you're truly inclusive, you're bound to offend someone,"
no.
"Several of our more provocative executions were not approved in many of our placements across New York, L.A. and Chicago. We had to scramble to replace them in the ninth hour
i dont even wanna know what these were... some gay faggot eating a hotdog? or another one hanging out of his lifted truck searching for some more cocks to suck? maybe catcalling a tranny out of his faggot lifted 4x4
Last we heard from OkCupid was right before the 2020 election, with a campaign from Mischief all about "VILFs" (because voting is sexy).
I wish we could ban this shit. fuc k the silicon valley stranglehold over dating and human interaction.

This woman gives me some hope for the future.
Do we need to know the early life?
Satanic.
Agree 100%, completely without any irony. It skeevs me out man.
Even as an anti-theist, it's not actually possible for me to disagree beyond semantics.
"Get Thee Behind Me, Satan!"

I think part of it has to do with the inhuman photoshopping of people that is triggering a disgust or alarm reaction in people.
I never understood that idiom. The last thing I want is the deceiver of the whole world where I can't see him.

I think you are correct about free will, though.

Paradox of tolerance. But the fact is ~95% of people are heterosexual so why cater to 5%??
because 25% of everybody wants you to pander to the 5% and will throw a hissy fit if you dont.
Its not 5% its 2.25%
A subset of postmodernism called queer theory. The intent is to disrupt the "normative behavior".

I don't think you get the rules here.
By "someone," he means "monogamous cissexual heteronormative people with Judeo-Christian-like morals."
Not only is offending them acceptable, it is desired, because they are the oppressors, and their values must be destroyed.
However, offending a "marginalized" identity is absolutely forbidden. In fact, it's violence to do so.
This is what "inclusion" means here. Silencing the un-Woke, and amplifying the Woke.

That "non-binary" thing 😂
Really, the whole campaign would have been cheaper if it was one poster that just said "no normies."
Just literally: "Normies get out! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
next picture: "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
If the fucking normies would just strike back- which I guess they sort of did in this case but also stop giving this trash their money. General normie strike!
White pill video. It's nice to see.
